The official guides post real weigh-in weights now by rule. The big issue is what was he really last year

My apologies for the not getting on things sooner yesterday for the politics talks. I tried to delete immediately but when I do things on my phone I have to actually remember my password to moderate and I f***ed it up. What can I say I'm old...and would like to point out that Boxy could have nipped this in the bud or butt earlier. If he were a mod! Seriously though, keep the politics from the other threads. If someone makes a post and you wish to reply...quote it in the politics thread. I will show you how it's done if you'd make your way to the politics page.

Bummer will be a Super 2, so a good example is Barnes who in his first three Arb years earned $1.6M, $2.0M and $3.1. Bummer if he has a good season this one will be better heading into his first arb so maybe you can add $1M to each of those. It's tough to find solid relievers who didn't close. Tony Watson made $5.6M in his final arb year but only had 3 arb years. Betances (who Bummer is not) earned $15.75M in his three arb years. I really think they are paying Bummer for best case scenario.

funny listening to Judge praise Cole after ripping the 2017 Astros

Pete Rose was a perfect example on why sometimes bowing to public opinion and doing the PR thing is bad. The rule had for 60 years said . They negotiated with Rose. Now we find out that they wanted to give him a 2 year suspension, all he had to do is hand over the documents which showed he never bet as a player and never bet against his team as he had stated. He instead signed for the permanent ban for the investigation to end. For 30 years Pete Rose has made bank, based on his lies (we now know he bet as a player and that his gambling involvement was much bigger than he said, leaving enough suspicion that he bet against his team), and baseball has had a PR disaster every year they have a HOF vote. The Owners and the MLBPA have the power these days. Scary that all these fans could find proof but the MLB, who has the greatest sports media arm, had to sign an immunity agreement to get "proof".
-
I just saw his interview where he said that he granted the players immunity to co-operate in the investigation. Makes a lot of sense now. I agree he's handle everything he's said publicly in a terrible way.
-
This is the part i am saying...he can't rule with an iron fist because he would lose any court case which follows based on precedent. He has no real power. All he can do is propose strong punishments moving forward. Think on a more realistic side instead of a fan. The only way to suspend players was to not release the investigation until you have everything
-
The team has stated before, he's violated team rules. If he were still a player on the team, he'd be suspended from the team and all team activities. I think it's actually a consistent statement by the Giants. It is not the way it will be spun though.
-
Yet everyone knew they were doing it for 2 years and didn't say a thing. I don't disagree that using electronics is wrong and the team should get punished (although being better at stealing signs is an odd punishment). There should have been multiple draft picks removed. Who do you punish for players? Hitters that are on other teams now? Pitchers? Everyone who was on the team but financially only? Because MLB f***ed up the first investigation they likely would lose anything that got into legal issues. Like I said MLB f***ed this up badly from a PR side, they had to know that the fans and media would over-react. I hate sloppy PR and they are guilty of that. Even now they have never said "Anyone caught doing anything like this moving forward will be given the death penalty". It's probably because they know baseball will try and cheat again.

The one thing I like about Manfred is that he says baseball is heading into the dirt. If he doesn't prevent a work stoppage he's done. If he keeps giving interviews he might not last that long.
-
-
In theory I believe that Manfred handled punishment correctly, as I believe there should be none. But he's not trained enough to have a microphone near him this often. He says too many things which won't piss off the owners or the PA (who have remained very silent here) and instead he's pissing off the people that he can't afford to piss off...the fans. The media is going to ask every single player (even the Radio Scouts asked it in their recent interview). Every single player is going to have this outrage (much of it fake outrage I'm sure). Manfred needs his PR people working on this and make a statement before the season that either puts the blame on the league (and possibly result in him stepping down) or just hope that some positive baseball story happens during the season.
-
so it's not a problem until the entire team was doing it?

Everything Brownie is saying is the reason I don't give a s*** at all. If you ain't cheatin', you ain't trying!

Reese McGuire arrested in Florida for exposing himself..

People forgot this was about Reese about 12 pages ago. Now it's just a general judging of the BJMB universe. The Wackers vs. Prudes. The Dude I'm in My Car vs. Won't someone think of the children! -

Florida State Fair first full day. Schools had a Professional Development day or whatever they call it in Florida. Everyone knows that -
What a terrible role for Gibby! He won't even get to do post game interviews

Can we get a list of acceptable things to be watching while pounding one out in public? Asking for a friend in the Niagara region. Right now we have eliminated King's avatar and kiddy porn. -
General 2020 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
TheHurl replied to Bobthe4th's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Projection vs. Prediction. With that said most of the Jays bats are interchangable and I'd be okay with a different batting order every game based on Charlie's whims...because it really matters that little -
two late firsts. About equal value from what I understand.

The league is about to find out why Lightning front office is the best in the game.
