It’s not an implausible take to say that their recent problems are due less to fatigue than to trying to figure out lineups now that they have more players to rotate in and out. Obviously, I didn’t come up with that all by myself, but when Brooks is trying to see what Jennings and Mahimi and Bogdanovich and Oubre and…

He is not a billionaire. He lives in a $900,000 house in Pasadena, Maryland which is not a place you can send your kids to school because the schools are awful. From everything I have heard about my boy Dan, he is not a particularly likable guy. My defense of him is purely academic. I object to the unfairness of…

Not to mention, Trumbo is the direct comparison since he was a FA signing(retention) this offseason and a direct alternative to Bautista.

I agree with all of that. But we might be getting too deep here. He is trying to give some red meat to the fans while explaining away in a convenient way why we would not pay Bautista when we are already behind on building up the “Keep Manny Here” fund.

Also, has this mother fucker seen any construction sites in the last 30 years? It’s largely guys literally named “Jose Bautista”

Agreed. Basically calling Duquette a racist with zero evidence. This site is great but gets really annoying sometimes.

But that was the context. He was talking about a free agent that would be acceptable to the community.

Just the lack of evidence. I’m all for calling our racists. Donald Trump is either a racist or (more likely) he does not have an aversion to racism. Using Mark Trumbo — also a free agent that was just signed which puts him on the brain in this context— as a blue collar guy does not mean that he is a racist. I think,…

It is possible that there is a real problem with racial inequity in America and that this is not an example of it.

Huh?

Can they ever use a white person without scrutiny? Adam Jones does not strike me as working class. Neither does any elite player.

I know when I think “who can give me insight into the mind and abilities of one of the top legal thinkers and judges in the country today? ”, one of the first names that pops up is “John Elway.”

You should have read Dan Marino’s letter endorsing Merrick Garland.

Plus, they literally skate through the season!

Always a facial expression truther

He’s the Domincan Republican.

Fuckin Drew.

I had a teacher in HS who called his wife “my girlfriend” and explained that he does this because wife sounds like he’s taking possession of her. He was a dirty hippie though, so this guy probably isn’t doing the same thing

I AM ANGRY AND HAVE ACCESS TO A PUBLIC FORUM SO I GET TO SAY MEAN THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE WITH NO CONSEQUENCE AND MAYBE SOME PEOPLE WILL BE UPSET WITH ME BUT THATS OK BECAUSE THATS KIND OF WHAT I WAS HOPING WOULD HAPPEN AND IM GOING TO KEEP REFRESHING THIS PAGE TO SEE IF PEOPLE ARE MAD AT ME FOR SAYING A MEAN THING ABOUT…

“...but couldn’t really provide an explanation for the lack of zip behind his pitches.”
