  1. This is totally conceivable given that he's Cuban.
  2. But you should be holding a firearm and firing it off? Idk, go punch a pillow, break some dishes or break a watermelon with a bat or some s*** lol.
  3. That's fair. I don't think we're arguing different points tbh, guns in the household are probably not a good idea anyways (let alone using them with known people within the house), but that's my opinion.
  4. Why not go to a gun range or something? That way you get to leave the house away from the person who infuriated you and are in a controlled environment where no one can get hurt. The issue is probably overblown regardless; no one got hurt, maybe Chapman has a bit of an anger issue, okay.
  5. I'm confused, are you arguing the sanity of his actions or the legality of them?
  6. To be fair, if you heard random gunshots going on off in your neighbour's house, would you not be concerned? Sure legally he might have been able to do what he did without repercussions, and the whole issue might be exaggerated (depending on the validity of the domestic abuse allegations), but this is the kind of issue where out of rage someone could have gotten hurt, even if Chapman didn't mean to wound anyone.
  7. Not questioning the legality of his actions, but gun ranges do exist to relieve steam or whatever he was feeling at the time. Shooting a gun within your own house (with people inside), without regard to who may be harmed as a result, just doesn't seem like a very bright idea.
  8. Actually I'm just procrastinating while doing an assignment. The typos are just gravy.
  9. Cory Joseph's stepback fadeaway is some cheese.
  10. Well in that case I think it's remarkable how well he's been able to pass off as a regular human in society.
  11. I personally love how you keep finding different letters to describe faulty mechanics.
  12. Was he born substantially more talented at baseball than the average human being? Sure, it's very likely that he was. However, I don't think it's reasonable to believe that he was born with an innate ability to throw a fastball at 97+ mph with great command, or be able to spin arguably the best breaking ball in baseball. That comes from putting in work. I would have imagined that you, having played at a competitive level of baseball, would have agreed with this sentiment. Also, I didn't say he worked harder than anyone else, but to throw around the makeup issue like he's just some kid who won't listen to valuable advice from coaches which will help him improve his game is ludicrous imo. He's an elite talent, who cares if he might be a little cocky?
  13. Makeup is the most overrated trait in athletes. Do you think Fernandez was just born with the ability to play baseball at an elite level? No, just like Stroman he had to constantly keep working hard to get to the level they're at right now. Also, it's not like he needs to be following a lot of advice from coaches anymore, being a top 5 talent pitcher and all.
  14. That's the joke It also doesn't make your claim any less ridiculous.
  15. What reputable reporter would use the phrase "in a serious contract dance"?
  16. And it also turns line drive homeruns into doubles. Give and take. The RC is a bandbox.
  17. That's not what regressing means!
  18. Um, just about as much as they do in half a season at the Rogers Centre + a large portion playing in Fenway, Yankee Stadium and Candem Yards?
  19. I'm not with Wind but have multiple friends who are and have this same complain.
  20. See NJH's response. It's too early to tell, obviously as it stands he's catcher #2 but there's a lot of time left for that to change. I wouldn't put it past this front office to bring in an inexpensive catcher with good framing numbers.
  21. This deal is just barely above league min. This won't restrict us from signing/trading for a superior backup catcher.
  22. Thank god you said this, I had been wondering how old you were for a while but I thought it would be rude to ask if you were like 60.
