Or, how about limiting the number of warmup pitches each time one of 7 relievers enters a game? I have seen it argued that the pitchers need “to adjust to the mound.” So what have you been throwing from, in the pen, for the last half hour? A snowbank? Get out there and pitch already! Oh, and Contreras? Stop…

OPS+ is Onbase Plus Slugging (OPS) adjusted for league and park (the + part). It’s literally telling you the thing you’re complaining advanced stats don’t tell you about guys like Thome.

I thought it was a well deserved comment. Here are the rules of the game. Either cities give incentives to companies to bring in employees which in turn brings in tax revenues to up the money in city and state coffers, which in turn requires more housing and new development and more jobs and down the line this goes,…

This ignores that some cities are more business friendly than others by default. If a city, or state, changes tax laws for everyone and that happens to attract a huge company because of it, is that alright?

The commenter shared a valid point of view. Calling those you disagree with stupid is immature.

I don’t think this country is capable of having a friendly discussion anymore. I don’t think your reply is anything outside the norm, sadly, but I would hope that you could keep defensive replies civil.

Any particular reason other than you hate people to question you?

Maybe you should use Amazon Prime to order yourself a sense of humor

It doesn’t mean you have to allow yourself to interviewed by said assholes.

“This man is being fired because a celebrity didn’t like what someone had to say about his daughter who he put into the spotlight. He then used the weight of his celebrity to punish that man.”

“This man” used the weight of HIS celebrity and his access to an audience of thousands to slam a 5 year old. Tom Brady used the…

Um, how is it stupid?

Some POS radio personality puts my kids on blast live on-air and I’ll gladly get that fucker terminated. I don’t give a shit if I showed the kid telling me about her day for three seconds on camera. As someone else pointed out, you’ve picked one idiotic hill to die on.

And yet somehow correct. How do you figure that?

Alright, clearly your opinion of this is set. I disagree that Brady did anything wrong in this situation. This man’s continued employment is not his problem or responsibility. He didn’t ask for him to be fired and doing interviews with this station is not an obligation.

Yeah, fuck your 20,000 employed people. Let them eat tax revenue.

Or you could act like an adult, skip the cursing and say, like the post above yours, that this negatively impacts cities that need the jobs, that might see more benefit from the jobs than the impact done by having little state and local taxes paid by a company taxing the city’s infrastructure.

Your law could also prevent a city or state from offering tax breaks or subsidies to help smaller businesses from opening a facility in say, Flint Michigan or offering small business loans in Englewood, Chicago.

If you’re a a host on a sports radio station, you piss off the most popular athlete in your market, and not by commenting on his play, what do you expect to happen? If Brady decides to start doing appearances on WEEI’s rival it’s going to cost the station thousands in ad revenues. It’s not like Reimer has any special…

I mean, for one, he didn’t ask for the man to be fired or suspended; that action was taken by his employer because his fuck up is going to cost them. Seems like you would have reacted differently in that situation and his position, which is fine. If I were in that situation, I would want an apology, at the very least.…

Can I just point out that you are defending a position where you are actively refusing to actually watch/learn the actual context of events. Like what happened. While also defending the right to just insult peoples kids in general discussion as long as they are shown on camera.
