This exact scenario was the subject of a Canadian Supreme Court case. The holding is that a person cannot consent to a sex act to be performed while they are unconscious. Basically, once the person becomes incapable of revoking consent at any time, their pre-consent is no longer valid. It's sexual assault, even if the woman literally said you can do X while I am passed out and all the man did was X. https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/7942/index.do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_JA This case has been criticized. Fair to say it is controversial. Some people say it is bad law and actually limits the sexual autonomy of women. Three judges of the SCC dissented in the case.

Cut him immediately as a political statement

If anyone can listen to this Across Time and Space song start to finish, holy s*** you have ears of steel or whatever.

Listen to the second one I posted there. So hilarious.

I judge his specific perversion pretty harshly.

* short-sighted and pathetic idiot who gets hard by smacking women around

No, I now think he is a douchebag. That's confirmed.

Meanwhile Yasiel Puig is just really annoying and nobody wants him. Also, Osuna is toxic because of a peace bond.

Nah it would change things. Right now he has just been accused by a private individual. For all we know the accusations are frivolous and without merit. But if the State actually thinks there is a reasonable chance that he could be convicted of a crime based on the evidence then I think that alone changes things. And if he ends up being convicted of a crime that of course changes everything. The spectrum would read something like: - Accused by private individual but nothing happens = the lightest shade of grey; he probably should face no repercussions professionally - Accused by private individual and faces a civil action but successfully defends the lawsuit OR nothing is proven = light grey - Accused by private individual and faces a civil action and loses in some respect = darker grey - Accused and the State charges him criminally but he is not convicted = dark, dark grey because the state saw evidence they could reasonably convict him of a crime - Accused and the State charges him criminally and he is convicted = almost black; his MLB career should be over It will always be a shade of grey but there can be very different shades of grey. The three middle roads would be followed by something like "MLB and MLB teams should feel free to conduct their own analysis of the facts to determine whether or not they want to offer him employment"

And if you take David Savard + whoever else off the team Montreal still gets crushed. If Tampa Bay was forced to comply with the cap during the playoffs it's not like they would have been without Stamkos or Kucherov.

A pretty sad finals, really. Not much sport to it. Montreal didn't even have more than 2 or 3 good scoring chances that last game. Caufield's crossbar wasn't even a high percentage opportunity, just a great shot. Anderson's breakaway he didn't even get a good shot off. There may have been 1 or 2 opportunities in tight that Vasilevsky put good poke checks on.

I'm not sure. They will be eyeing competition in 2022 and thinking that 2021 was a lot of bad luck. I'm sure they would trade Rogers and Berrios but I bet they would only do it for specific kinds of deals with MLB talent coming their way and those deals might not be out there.

Was Matt Kemp injuries?

Unless they trade from the MLB roster for pitching. That might open up space for Cruz. Could even be in one big stinky deal if Minnesota is adding pitching.

hahahah I don't feel so good, Mr. Atkins

I understand the slight preference for Bellinger based on demonstrated upside but both are young guys packed with tools, former elite prospects, who have performed at a high level. And one looks broken now while the other is turning into a pretty solid hitter. I don't see a big gap.

Deleted two posts that had nothing to do with baseball, per the Board Rules. Leaving Nexii's post as the final word. It also has little/nothing to do with baseball but makes an important point. Regardless of your personal opinion on trans stuff, or your personal opinion on someone as deplorable and consistently wrong as Sheryl Ring, intentionally misgendering a trans person is a violation of our board rules, particularly rule #2, "No discriminatory comments or slurs". If calling Sheryl Ring she/her is insufferable to you but you MUST talk about her, just don't use pronouns or use gender neutral pronouns. This is the official BJMB stance on this topic.

let the other people answer, jim

He seems broken. Bellinger or Moncada in dynasty?

What happened to Chris Paddack?

I remember this. It was a bunch of cryptic twitter posts about "what he did to her" and stuff like that. Then we figured out she was talking about him based on past tweets (she was already part of Jays fan twitter) and someone posted the tweets here. Shortly after that she made some tweet like "I've been found! f***!" and she deleted her account.

Toronto is just going to non-tender an injured Julian Merryweather within the next two seasons and it will be a very sad day.

So you legitimately think it's believable/reasonable that Kucherov was told by the team that they were not going to activate him for weeks/months despite him being completely healthy, and he just went along with it? Like, he was cleared by doctors to play games and the team told him mmmm nah we will activate you in 6 weeks or whatever and he just said sure?
