Pitchers coming off TJS typically are throwing 3-4 mph less then 6 months further on. Pardinho will be throwing mid 90s FB with very good command next year in the upper minors.

He's in the low minors on rehab. Was on top 100 lists before injury. Don't sleep on this guy. If not a starter, projects as a high leverage reliever.

It's one game. It doesn't matter at all how Gurriel does today, hitting 6th.

It's a legitimate approach. If the Jays are taking a college pitcher in the 1st, which the last BA mock suggested, there will be several at #19 to pick from that would sign underslot.

I've got Mercado

I'll give up Bellinger for Acuna.

Time to restart the Politics thread?

Yankees might be bringing Aroldis in for the 9th, 1-0 game. This could be good.

Semien walks, Kris Bryant signed, Biggio back to 2nd. Profit.

His numbers this year are not far off his career averages? He was a MLB full time starter at age 22, effectively missed 2 and a half seasons to injury and then COVID. IMO, Walker is right where he should be expected to be, back to his career numbers or a bit better, at this point in his recovery from injury.

With a better performance and fewer "holes", the FO would trade in prospect capital to fill some holes this year. But there is a point where keeping the prospect capital and spend cash only on some free agents in the offseason (Kris Bryant?) is the better approach. Jays are on the upswing. Moving prospect capital now will just lower the future peak, for a marginal increase in their chances this year only. History is rife with examples of bad short term moves. Didn't the Chisox move FTJ for Big Game James in a similar circumstance?

A BA sleeper pick. Calvin Ziegler, RHP, St. Mary’s HS (Kitchener, Ont.) BA Rank: 272 Why he might be undervalued: Ziegler is one of the hardest-throwing high school hurlers Canada has seen in recent memory, and the improvements he’s made with his strike-throwing ability to go along with decent secondaries are cause for excitement. The 18-year-old righthander has gotten his fastball into the upper 90s this spring, showing more velocity than any other Canadian high schooler in decades, sitting more consistently in the mid 90s. His ability to make improvements in a tight timeframe bodes well for his future, especially as a 6-foot-2, 205-pound hurler without much physical projection remaining. The Auburn commit has a top-to-bottom curveball and a changeup that he was able to get continual work on this season despite his home province being void of opportunities because of strict pandemic protocols. Ziegler headed south to Florida early this year to get some time in on the mound at TXNL Academy, where he proved that he can find success beyond the border before returning home recently. The last 16 months have been especially hard on draft-eligible Canadians living in their home country, but Ziegler has found ways to continue his development, and it’s likely that those efforts could be recognized much earlier in the draft than where he sits on our list.

Of course.

No it doesn't look good. Her motives are clearly not pure, but extortion or whatever is separate from assault. The situation seems similar to a sex worker who encounters a bad john. My first post on this was that the Bauer part goes nowhere unless there is corroboration ie. other women that Bauer did nonconsensual things to.

As I posted, depends on the details we aren't privy to. And please stop using words like "sexual deviant" and "slut".

So the woman had relationships with FTJ and Clev without incident, it appears. Only with Bauer did things go off the rails. Not sure if this helps Bauer, depends on the details we are not privy to.

Trade Deadline has been set for Saturday August 21 at midnight.

In the past, less and less these days.

Nah, that's not sexual deviancy, connor. Stop being a prude. Shortness of breath heightens the orgasm and is relatively common practice. And yes, sex workers deserve the same protection as anyone else.

Logan Gilbert gonna be an ace?

If a sex partner passes out from rough sex, from alcohol, drugs or whatever, it does not give consent to the other partner to do whatever the f*** that person wants, whether anal, punching, scratching, or whatever. There's no way in hell the law, or any right thinking person, would agree to that. The whole idea of the law is to prevent harm and restore damages. Your thinking is the reverse of that. "sexual deviant female" - no wonder you buy wives over the internet.

Good luck in life, connor. You need it.

Holy f*** man, the girl goes unconscious and you think it's Ok for Bauer to assume anal sex is OK. To a psychopath maybe.

you can't make that inference, holy f*** do you have a share of bauer in fantasy baseball
