Seems a bit of a cherry pick to choose bWAR. Trout doesn’t even lead MLB in fWAR, Betts does, and Trout is tied with Jose Ramirez. Betts is clearly having the better offensive season. The reason Trout looks good for bWAR is an aberrational DRS where he’s +7 in 395 innings, after rating -6 last year. UZR has him more…

“Mookie Betts, the best non–Mike Trout player in baseball” .... Since the beginning of 2017 Jose Ramirez has 9.8 WAR to Betts’ 8.7 ... hmmm

Was he throwing up his hands at the ref or at the sideline about Love not stepping out?

Where did this thing come from on Deadspin that Trevor Bauer of all people is an “obey the rules” type person? Bauer may be an asshole but he obviously isn’t someone who’s about the “unwritten rules”, or written rules. Bauer was throwing a challenge flag onto the field for a while whenever the Indians would challenge…

If a dude fouls off 16 pitches, perhaps you should consider throwing a few more out of the zone.

They are not remotely the same. Chlamydia is very common, it’s just a bacterial infection, it’s usually not symptomatic in women and often isn’t in men either, thus why it gets passed on frequently. It’s not a big deal, you’d need some antibiotics for a couple weeks and you’d be good. Herpes is a virus. It’s not…

Chlamydia is frequently asymptomatic in men too though, and you can have symptoms that go away but still have the infection. He obviously should’ve been retested if he was treated, to make sure it had actually cleared up. But the whole thing about chlamydia doesn’t really make sense when it seems she’s saying he…

Well it’s a bit confusing to say the least. Care to explain? The Deadspin article is about him giving her chlamydia. If you scroll through the “exhibits” it says he infected her with “chlamydia and/or herpes”, and later on down says she tested positive for herpes, and doesn’t mention chlamydia. (Not sure how there is…

A million dollars for chlamydia? Taking a couple weeks of antibiotics and getting either no or minor symptoms? Can I sue someone for like a billion dollars if they come to work and I get influenza from them because that’s way worse than chlamydia.

Why? It seems pretty much a random thing. Definitely the place I live right now has the dryer on the left

They wouldn’t have needed the girlfriend to testify if they had this video.

Um, there’s VIDEO of it. It is not difficult to prove.

“...any of them could simply have chosen not to do that and pay the financial penalty for replacing their current fifth starter with Jake Fucking Arrieta.”

Because this blurb is a shallow excuse for Clover Hope to publish something super racist on the internet.

He totally saved the day in Interstellar too

In your original comment you said she was going to specifically build a school in Malawi, not “africa”

Do you think hammering nails and whatnot is some extremely difficult skill that is impossible to learn? I have no training in anything along those lines, but I’ve installed hardwood floors in my house from watching a couple youtube videos. I’ve installed dry wall by having someone show me how it’s done. Unless the…

If the players want to fix this, they need to stop prioritizing older star players over younger guys. If young players weren’t so cheap, then low and mid-tier free agents wouldn’t get frozen out. If you can call up a guy who might give you 0-1 WAR while you’re only paying him $500k, why would you not do this instead…

So if the stripper insulted the guy, you’d be cool with him decking her for being an asshole?

I don’t disagree with the principle, but does the federal government constitutionally have any authority to regulate something like that with a law? How does the federal government have any say over whether a local or state government decided to give a tax break? That seems to be something that’s pretty clearly…
