Of the 6-Justice majority in today’s terrible immunity decision, two justices (Thomas, Alito) were violating federal law (28 USC 455) by not recusing from the case and three (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett) were appointed by the man whom the decision essentially immunized. Hmmm. 🤔
@dgoold Unless someone starts on the IL, sure seems that Burleson is the odd man out to start the season?
You’ll respond that these things tend to work themselves out :)
@KevinWheeler94@JohnMarecek I see it more that NCAA and college presidents got what they had coming. TV networks, conference realignment, CFP…all of it has been a 30 year money grab.
And they didn’t do right by the athletes. So they got sued by players and then had state legislatures create NIL.
@enosarris@sanaebryson This is a global branding play for the Dodgers. There are few athletes at this stratosphere—Jordan, Lebron, Messi…Hundreds of millions in marketing value.
@KevinWheeler94@fangraphs Knizner is surprising. 1) They lose Herrera as a trade chip. 2) If Contreras gets hurt, that’s a lot to put on a rookie catcher.
@jmjones@kyler416 Ok, but what do you expect him to say? A change in organizational philosophy necessarily means previous decisions may no longer mesh.
@dgoold For the 3 players assigned to memphis, do they have to clear some sort of waivers first? How can they just be removed from the 40-man and assigned to AAA?
@dgoold@KevinWheeler94 I could listen to @dgoold and @KevinWheeler94 talk baseball for days. Great episode!
Struck me that your convo about acquiring pitching performance in the aggregate is precisely the moneyball scene where Billy Beane is devising how to replace Jason Giambi in the aggregate.
‼️Although Trump will have his mugshot taken when he’s arraigned next week at the Fulton County jail, Georgia state code prohibits arresting law enforcement agencies from posting mugshots (also known as booking photographs) onto a website. So when Trump’s mugshot is taken, it likely will NOT be posted to the sheriff office’s own website.
However, Georgia code does allow for ANYONE to request a booking photograph. If you’d like to request your own copy of Trump’s mugshot — suitable for framing 😁 — it’s easy! Simply submit your Open Records request to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. Details are provided in the below link.
