Not to get too off topic, but I wish the politics thread still existed just so we could go back and look at how Jim was crucifying Trump for Russian collusion.
*DISCLAIMER*: I DO NOT WISH TO DISCUSS POLITICS. I AM USING THE ABOVE EXAMPLE TO ILLUSTRATE HOW JIM HAS BEEN WRONG BEFORE WHEN TALKING IN ABSOLUTES
I think everyone expected a suspension. Maybe 100 games or something. The problem is the lack of consistency when assigning punishment. The vendetta held against Bauer by MLB along with saving the Dodgers ass is the only reason for 300 games. You cannot justify 20 for Ozuna, 100 or whatever for Chapman and 300 for Bauer. Impossible

Bauer’s suspension should clearly be 300 more games than this
Manfred pulling strings for the Dodgers. Simple as that.
Sure has. We’ve had some good battles over the years.
Your squad is a good measuring stick for me. Plan is to make my first DDL playoff appearance (2020 doesn’t count) since taking over Sammy’s team
Semien does suck ass and glad the Jays aren’t paying him. Woof that contract is going to age poorly.
I just don’t see the HR or SB upside to make him relevant in a league that shallow. Like he might be a 10/10 guy who hits .270/.330/.400
It seems to me that MLB has clearly communicated to the umpires that they need to impact Jays games to some degree. MLB knows that Jays playoff ratings aren't ideal and the idea of the Jays in the WS is a nightmare for American viewership. Being able to swing even 3-5 games against the Jays could be enough to keep them from playing in October.
