@jcalvinmeyer Even with the defensive choices, which I get with Rogers:
Ward
Alexander
Rutchman
Alonso
Henderson
Mayo
Basallo
O’Neil
Tavares (SHOULD BE COWSER)
- Makes a LOT more sense
@jcalvinmeyer The real Q is when you finally force Gunnar to take the day off. He has been flat awful.
Also, it’s time to start putting Cowser into CF no matter who is P.
@jcalvinmeyer He is not entirely wrong: you can’t play Mayo and Alexander and Henderson and Holliday and Basallo and Rutschman at the same time.
P wants Basallo, so he is C. Mayo has been crushing LHP, so he is either DH or 3B. If you want Rutch, then you’re down to SS/2B + Alexander takes 1
@TheBmoreBattery Ward, Tavares, probably Helsley, maybe Cano would get return.
The others would be marginal at best, except O’Neil, who we would have to pay to get rid of.
@Orioles@masnOrioles I can stomach Tromp playing. I wish Mayo just got more games at 3B, unless you’re already ready to make him a permanent DH, but I can stomach it.
I cannot stomach O’Neil playing. He is bad at the plate. He is bad in the field. He is bad on the bases. Why is he on the field?
@dilanesper How do you determine a standard for what constitutes “good rules” or evaluate what “serious harm” means? Or is your standard just “whatever I decide those things are?”
@dilanesper “How America would be better off” is an insane, unprincipled, often self-congratulatory standard.
Canonizing your personal preferred outcomes and ends-justify-means are the arguments of self-serving tyrants.
@dilanesper Can you apply this standard to things others might see as morally repugnant but you don’t?
Because I’m willing to bet you would hate this exact action if applied to certain things
“You should hate what I hate” is not the job of SCOTUS and shows incredible bias in suggesting it
@dilanesper Of course speech and guns are different things. Guns and quarter are different things. Quarter and due process are different things. Due process and cruel; unusual punishment are too. Etc.
Which other rights listed in the Amendments should be treated like the 2A instead of 1?
@Spicxer He did not, in fact, throw the ball right to him. It was rightfully logged as a throwing error.
But Basallo’s effort was janky, and Helsley pitched bad.
@birdlandminute There was no cutoff man for him to throw to, so it’s hard to blame him for not throwing to one - which, of course, is what should have happened.
I agree he was right to throw home. But the error gets assigned to him because it wasn’t a good throw, not just because he threw it.
@HirschyToast@jcalvinmeyer Because, while catcher’s should be able to handle the throw, it doesn’t change that it’s an inaccurate throw
Same as when a 1B doesn’t pick a throw from a fielder. 1B live on making picks, but the thrower is charged with an error if he doesn’t catch it - because it’s a bad throw
