Martinez said as much in the postseason interview, that he wanted to “save them” for when the Nats had a lead. It’s incredibly stupid, and one of the things I love about AJ Hinch is his total rejection of this kind of old baseball truism. He won’t hesitate to bring a top reliever into a high leverage situation with…

The Astros’ response is so fucking disappointing. The fact that Taubman made the comments is bad enough, but it’s so much worse for the team to double down on it in a weird, seemingly incredible statement after no-commenting the article.

It's cute that you think the people who work for the DA's office are the "good ones."

The answer to that question is always Bryce Harper.

Speaking only based on my experience in NYC, its membership and staff include a significant number of women, POC, and members of the LGBTQ community, many or most of which I assume are not big fans of Trump. I don’t fall into one of those categories, but I like Equinox because it has fantastic yoga instructors, and…

Ok.

Fair.

Lots of people are saying it was his intent. Look at the replies to his tweet, look at the reaction on twitter generally. Here’s one example.

Looks to me more like he lowered a shoulder and led with his forearm which is exactly what they are trying to prevent.

I mean, come on, man. . . He’s been in the league for seven years and has no history of dirty play. He was contrite in the immediate aftermath of the play, during post-game interviews, and on twitter. He said he made a split-second decision to slide towards the inside, that decision ended up being wrong, and he feels…

to be clear, while you’re paid very well, you don’t actually make $500/hour as a third-year associate. that’s just what your employer takes in on your behalf. it may not surprise you to hear that the employers do not necessarily share all of that money with their employees.

Lawyer here. $500/hour is what most third-year associates (i.e., twenty-somethings who have been an attorney for less than three years and don’t know what the fuck they’re doing) charge at the biggest firms in NYC. Many prominent partners charge in the $1200-$1300/hour range. Warren’s rate is far from crazy. I would…

This happened to me, except I was the guy that had to be checked on.

. . . a goal seemed unlikely to come.  Inevitably, the goal did come.

I assume one of them is at bats, the other is plate appearances.

Gerrit Cole was not happy with Kulpa when he left the game

I remember thinking the over the back call was a good one at the time, but I was also probably just happy they got the ball back.  Haven’t seen a replay since.

Bonus video: here is Ryan Cline’s second “foul.”  Foul was called by the ref on the near sideline, so it wasn’t because of some contact you can’t see from this camera angle.
