  2. Just blow up that team already..and give us Freeman and Kimbrel
  3. He's been doing it since he signed, and he's only getting exposure now because he's a top prospect
  4. He's just a hardcore hipster.
  5. I don't think Osuna can be useful to us unless they remove him from the rotation halfway and let him finish up his innings in the BP. He just came off TJS so he'll be on a strict limit.
  6. In an ideal world, Daniel Norris will become as good as Madison Bumgarner but will be so humble that he'll sign a ridiculously cheap contract like 6 years $25 million.
  7. Didn't Good Morning America say he had a 100-mph fastball? funny to see the ranges people give him.
  8. some1 gonna make a gdt for game 3? Just realized it's a 7:00 game. Who the hell does ST 7:00 games?!
  9. I know people bitch a lot about our propensity to keep drafting pitchers but damn, we're looking good going forward with all our youngin's
  10. Hoffman already seems like a pitcher instead of a thrower. Sounds a lot like 2nd half Stroman mentality http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-rhp-hoffman-im-glad-im-still/
  11. if you listen to that commentary I posted last page, you'll see an example of that. The point is, these racists eventually have to work with colored people and have to deal with them frequently in society. At that point they may realize that they have been wrong and there is nothing different with colored people. If a top prospect continues to be racist despite spending years working with colored teammates, then something is wrong. Bringing back to the sexuality comment, sexuality is not talked a lot about in baseball. It's just not something that relates to baseball or is visibly evident. So you can see how someone could have lingering feelings about a certain sexuality. Your religion reinforces it, and baseball community around you ignores it. So nothing happens. That's why I don't have an issue with what Murphy said. He was brought up with his religion reinforcing his attitudes, with nothing to counteract it.
  12. normally, yes, but when religion is involved it makes things a bit different If we had a 35 year old veteran thats racist I'd totally agree
  13. And that's totally fine. Again, I don't find anything wrong with what Murphy said. I think he's been misinformed his whole life and I can see where his comments came from. Instead of criticizing an individual who was brought up in circumstances that shaped him, blame the environment, and hope that the current and future circumstances, environment and society that he will be in will help him change. I guess we'll agree to disagree.
  14. As I said earlier, Murphy probably was brought up and continues to this day to hold religious values. I'm not religious, but I can see how hard it is for people to come to agree with something that goes against their religion. Doesn't have to be about religion too - could be family values and upbringing that made Murphy the person he is today. I don't fault Murphy for having this viewpoint. There is still time for his opinion to change on it. There is a great commentary on this topic. But instead of sexuality it was racism. I think everyone should take a listen to it.
  15. I don't see anything wrong with Bean. Nor do I see anything wrong with Murphy. Criticizing Murphy for answering a question that was brought to him honestly is quite unfair. If we're going to criticize him for that then I think you have to criticize Bean (or maybe MLB) for bringing up the issue to begin with.
  16. But devil's advocate here - why Can't Billy Bean do the same? Sexual orientation has no bearing in the workplace, anywhere.
  17. I thought gameday for ST games didn't track that? I thought they only recorded the outcomes.
  18. I don't understand the hate against Murphy and people who hate on him cause of his comments are just as close-minded as people who are homophobic. The guy was brought up with Christian teaching. You can't just shut that off, especially when you're that religious. Would you rather have Murphy come out and say he supports gays and lie to everyone? I appreciate his honesty. If you guys are so open to hate on Murphy, then I truly await the time when Norris is asked the very same question.
  19. I think we have our backup catcher of the future
  20. Jiminez with a"perfect throw" to 2nd to retire the runner. Pirates announcersjust came
  21. Looks like the oufield moved around again. Pompey RF, Pilalr LF, Carrera CF
  22. Jiminez now catching...aaand audio is gone again
  23. Schultz (who?) now pitching
  24. Harrison left with left ankle discomfort
