Fail

Giles - Headcase Paulino - roids Osuna - wife beater The most controversial trade of all time

Shatkins does it again. Pure genius

David Paulino andhector perez

He was sent down right after he told a coach to f*** off on the mound, so I'd think that would do it

The backlash is insane. Twitter flying off the handle

Yes

Giles+ Then flip Giles for more prospects

You're lucky Walter is fighting this battle for you.

I upvoted your comments. I like the guy who called you a men's rights activist.

Are you Skin Blues?

williamnyy Too many problems with this post to address, but the reason I clicked on the link was because I thought it was a serious look at MLB fan demographics and not a series of politically motivated one-liners. I am not interested in the latter, but it would be nice if Fangraphs, of all sites, would use a more rigorous standard when it comes to making claims like MLB doesn’t have many young fans or is a “white man’s sport”. I find myself visiting Fangraphs less and less and it transitions away from its founding, and that’s a shame. My criticism is not so much the politicization of posts (and it’s more pervasive than one author) as much as the loosening of critical rigor. No one would accept random anecdotes as the basis for making a bold claim like Bryce Harper is better than Mike Trout, for example, so why do so for claims like MLB has no young fans or is a white man’s game? The demographics of the player population refute the later, and there are some interesting surveys floating around that suggest MLB is doing OK with millennials (https://tinyurl.com/y7gcqsn3). Also, baseball/softball participation at youth levels are on the rise. Sure, MLB’s TV audience skews old, but national TV audiences are not a good way to judge MLB’s popularity, both overall and in terms of demographics. As much as I would prefer FG avoid the injection of politics into the site, what is increasingly keeping me away is the less analytical rigor being applied.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Jen Mac being triggered by the word trigger.

Imagine being triggered by the word trigger:

From what I saw he was calling his friends fags.

Doubt you'll get much for him in LoD now.

Nah it was more like 15 to 20 if that makes it any worse.

Sean Newcomb is the latest to be outed for tweeting fag when he was a teenager Kelsey Wingert @KelsWingert Some tweets from 2011 have surfaced sent from Sean Newcomb. The #Braves reopened the clubhouse to the media just now so he could address the media and apologize for things he said. Sean Newcomb said he saw the tweets resurfaced when he was on his phone after today’s game and he wanted to get ahead of it and apologize, so he asked the #Braves if he could meet with media now to issue statement.
