The next time some idiot tells you that, given 100 pitches, he could get a hit off a major leaguer, you can tell him, “def off Trevor Bauer, but not a single-A guy, let alone an actual MLB caliber arm.”

[Trevor Bauer (トレバー・バウアー) @BauerOutage]

Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.

If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.

But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.

What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.

@jacobin I'd be interested to read this take, but then again, the writer has some of the worst taste imaginable so . . . pass.

@Bill__Donahue No comment

@Bill__Donahue No, but all the music journalists calling people rubes for for being put off by it was.

@ettingermentum Typical NYC day: wake up at home in the Bronx. Walk Highline to a ferry from Battery Park. 9-5 job in Staten Island (lunch at Junior's near Barclays or Nuts4Nuts). Dinner on Roosevelt Island. Walk to TSQ for a nightcap at Jekyll & Hyde Club. Listen to Imus the whole time.

Two nights commemorating 21 years of long-form listening. Come blow some candles out with us on our birthday at the Teragram Ballroom here in Los Angeles on June 26th and 27th.

On deck: LA’s own SML, Fabiano do Nascimento, Genevieve Artadi, Reverberation Radio DJs, and more.

White Denim's album artwork for "D" (2010) is a reconstituted version of the single artwork for The Esquire's "Get On Up And Get Away" (1967), which is itself a collection of cutouts from other record covers.

It's the dinner skipped. The round not bought. The merch left on the table. The venue that closes.

CA's AB 1720 caps resale at 10% above face value. The money stays in the room.

@AfroJew84 @FabianArdaya I mean the amount/prominence - the info can be good, but 58 AM/PM or UCLA Health ads are not

[Kramer @Kramer]

@MattWelch He means Republicans have done this, he's just too scared/naive/biased to actually use the word (also, the pivot to CA/Los Angeles is a tell: he has nothing of substance to write, so might as well change the subject at random).

@ian__grant Gives life to those Dylan x Diplo Sahara Tent 2027 rumors though, no?
