@jayhastings79@Jody_Jackson Right?? He didn’t get an insane contract. We are spending more on players like Montgomery who we should’ve let go before his next season guarantee kicked in
I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.
@chuexsy@GoldyHappens I will say the dbacks spent a lot this off-season. Record spending by them I believe. Unfortunately it didn’t pan out and we’re stuck with these contracts.
@AlexMurrieta@SSGLoder@GoldyHappens I mean no one would give him a big time long term contract.
Not sure why the dbacks didn’t DFA him earlier in the year and now we are stuck with him next year for 20 something million.
I do agree that no one saw the pitching being this bad. Most runs scored in mlb though
@SongRepeater@Maximus62787@AndrewLeezus They didn’t play great. Heck, they weren’t even that fun to watch unlike past suns teams. These issues were always there. Just got more exposed in the playoffs.
@SongRepeater@AndrewLeezus Even with Allen, this team wasn’t going anywhere unfortunately. Too flawed. Even the way they played last night, they wouldn’t be able to sustain for an entire series…
@Gambo987 Beal and booker are too redundant which is a problem when one costs 50 million, put us in the 2nd apron, and we have no depth. No youth. Don’t see how we fix this team with no draft picks and the cuffs of the 2nd apron
@GeraldBourguet But Beal is still making avg of 50+ million guaranteed for the next 4 years with a trade veto clause. CP3 contract over after this year (non-guranteed next year). Hard having so much money tied into him
@nytdavidbrooks Here lies the heart of the hypocrisy of trump and his followers for worshipping a man who is the embodiment of most things you’ve referred to in the article.
He’s a product of the elite, has his position in society by being born into it, & doesn’t represent those who follow him.
@nytdavidbrooks What’s missed here is that Trump is a product of the system being referred to.
Born into riches and the elite
Attended elite schools including the New York military academy and Wharton
Obtained 4 Vietnam draft deferrals
So, isn’t he then the very problem you’re referring to?
