    Yeah, it's all semantics. Lying... misleading... whatever. I don't get why the media has the right to know someone's vaccination status, nor why any athlete's opinion on vaccinations is relevant at all. They're all idiots for the most part (as are the media asking the question) that wouldn't recognize real science if it hit them in the head and gave them a concussion.

    He said everyone in the org knew he wasn't vaccinated. "The organization & my teammates knew exactly what my status was.. there was nothing that was hidden." ""I'm not an anti-vaxx, flat-earther.. I have an allergy to an ingredient that's in the mRNA vaccines. I found a long term immunization protocol to protect myself & I'm very proud of the research that went into that" - LOL at that one. The whole issue is that he told the media he was "immunized." The whole interview was pretty entertaining but really all it showed was that Rodgers doesn't really know what critical thinking is, thinks he understands things he doesn't, and still won't take other vaccines that he's not allergic to. That pretty much sums it up.

    I have 0 problem with people that don't want to get the vaccine, but there's a big disconnect in most of those people's logic logic, especially those like Rogers who calls himself a "critical thinker" who then talks to Joe Rogan for treatment advice. Consulting anyone other than a medical professional for treatment advice isn't critical thinking, it's f***ing stupid. Choosing to get vaccinated or not is absolutely a personal decision, but that personal decision has the potential to not just impact that person. It has the potential to affect people that have no control over the situation. Also, don't be a scumbag and lie about it. Get the vaccine or don't, but don't lie about it. The PA agreed to the rules, follow them or don't. If you don't there's repercussions. Own your decision and stick by it. Now he says he didn't get it because he was allergic to an ingredient in the mRNA vaccines. Who has a problem with anyone saying they cant get it because they're allergic? Nobody tells you take something you're allergic to.

    COuld expain why Castellanos opted out the millisecond the World Series ended.
  5. John_Havok
    Biggio definitely walks that line between patient and passive though. Seems there's an abnormally high amount of times he just doesn't seem interested in swinging, like he's made up his mind before the pitch if he's going to swing or not.

    Might not be the best post-season to be posted given the labour issues... but then again, depending on the results it might be one of the best.

    Continue to hang your head in shame sir.

    According to reports he might be having the surgery next week and is planning on being back in March, just after the Olympics

    Who’s advocating Espinal as a starter? He’s the perfect bench bat backup infielder making league minimum. No reason to stick him in AAA at all unless you just signed a ton of guys and some solid 2-3 WAR IF is lost in the shuffle. The least of the Jays concern is the backup IF role.
  10. John_Havok
    He's not real good defensively though. Not like dogshit bad, but you wouldn't be expecting much contribution defensively aside from the positional flexibility.
  11. John_Havok
    As the backup MIF?
  12. John_Havok
    Espinal has earned his bench spot at minimum. No way he starts in AAA. He's everything you want in a backup IF. It's not even out of the realm of possibility he is in the starting lineup on opening day next season. I wouldn't think that's ideal for chasing a championship, but as a backup IF he's about as perfect as it gets without being a switch hitter.
  13. John_Havok
    He's also consistently underperformed that xfip in all 3 seasons he has pitched. haven't Looked deep into the numbers to try and explain why yet but this the the guy who gets a pillow deal to prove something, not a 4 year/60 million dollar payday.

    Myabe wants to go back to Japan? hard to imagine him getting more in AAV with how he has performed thus far in MLB.

    And given that Ozuna wasn't with the team for the series, their players were Crime Free.
  16. John_Havok
    Or ever again really. Sure, some individuals might have good years again, but all at the same time on same team... you can never plan on that.
  17. John_Havok
    Word Crimes is top shelf also

    Glad we’re on the same page. So many equate racism with anything that even mentions race and it drives me nuts
  19. John_Havok
    No it’s not. Racism is attaching negative connotation to race. Making an extremely intelligent joke centered around 2 Japanese men who are leaping out of a supply closet in an attempt to surprise someone while saying “Supplies” is another level of genius.
  20. John_Havok
    Best joke in whole movie is when the two Asian guys jumped out of the broom closet and yelled “Supplies!”
  21. John_Havok
    Meh, for those of us in the west, these start times are perfect. The east can suck donkey nuts.
  22. John_Havok
    Makes sense I guess. I just wonder why they’d do that with a SS who didn’t obviously need to move….seems that sentencing a kid to a life of knee problems would be the last thing you want unless it’s the last option. Catchers move slowest through the minors for the most part due the defensive rigors of the position
  23. John_Havok
    You’ve taken 1 giant step up in my books for that reference. Extremely underrated comedy that was just ahead of its time
  24. John_Havok
    Probably, but likely not from Atlanta. They’re too smart to overpay for a 3 week hot streak when they guy is average or below at this point in his career. Guaranteed the Padres sign him for 20 million.

    I don’t think they deal in absolutes, they’re just making decisions in a given situation where the numbers dictate they should do something, and truthfully, the only alternative is the managers gut feeling. And let’s not pretend that the aces and a lot of #2s in baseball are still given lots of leeway in when they are taken out. It’s usually the mid and backend guys that get yanked earlier because they already have a larger degree of drop off in results as the game wears on. I think the real issue here is that people have rosy memories about “that guy” who gutted out that one start even though he was getting hit around, never gave up a run and went as far as he could before the pen took over with the bases loaded and that guy came in and put out the fire. It was tense, gut wrenching, so emotional. Emotional memories are far more powerful than the ones that aren’t accompanied by that. That’s why fans in general don’t like blowout playoff games in any sport, they like low scoring tense games because they form more vivid and emotional memories.
