Didn’t you know? Peter Thiel controls the minds of the editors here; he is the reason for every reprehensible thing they write.

Yet, still wouldn’t have mattered

Tim Burke never hesitates to screenshot an ESPN typo, though!

“We must be respectful of those suffering from addiction, and provide proper social support to recovery, rather than punish and shame them”

But the DH is necessary because I lack the attention span to watch one poor plate appearance out of every nine

Career stats are not cherry picking. Ruf will only play against LHPs (ever seen the Dodgers’ roster?), and Morales is a switch hitter.

Darin Ruf career vs LHP: .921 OPS

Remember when Deadspin constantly complained the Sixers weren’t trying to win, and then congratulated the Yankees for trading three of their best players away during a close wild-card race? Good times. Sam Hinkie is evil for drafting Embiid and trading MCW, but the Yankees can just punt their two best pitchers to the…

A top-ten pick for MCW!!!

I definitely didn’t see this coming, especially Around the Horn. I love staring at Woody Paige’s neck

I read the rule. Nowhere does it say the passer is a passer if a pass doesn’t exist.

But roughing the passer requires a pass. We’ve been over this. You may certainly infer they magically changed the definition of passer, but it sure as hell is not in this rule.

Yep, and the penalty is unnecessary roughness, not roughing the passer

Again, you’re failing to understand the rulebook’s definition of passer

In the definitions section, “A player who makes a legal forward pass is known as the Passer until the play ends”

It could still be a penalty. It just wouldn’t be roughing the passer.

Perhaps that’s the intent, but that’s not what the rule says

Christ he tells me to keep guessing then deletes the response.

This is a website that blasts NFL officiating all year, and when I say a ref might’ve made a mistake 2 years ago, you’re amused

Then 1) the rule needs to re-worded, because it currently says a pass must exist, 2) the rule was different two years ago, 3) the referee incorrectly called roughing the passer instead of unnecessary roughness, or 4) the box score is incorrect.
