  1. The 3 strike rule is f***ed. He should have gone to jail for life after Strike 2 in this scenario!
  2. The 3 strike rule is penalizing people based on the history of the criminal... I guess there are lots of different circumstances and "some" perhaps have merit and deserve special consideration - but f***, you get 3 chances. It's not like committing felonies is like a habit you have to kick. I'm also not sure being a drug addict is an excuse. At some point, you have to implement harsher penalties for felonies (regardless of circumstances) if the person continues to repeat. Do you think the PED policy in MLB is too harsh? I mean Jenrry Mejia might be a drug addict, so maybe he shouldn't be banned for life.
  3. Nah - let's leave them in society to commit more crimes and groom future generations. Full disclosure: I'm not educated on this matter at all. I suspect "research" suggests locking them away does have a negative effect on the cycle and I'm sure there are many cases of shoddy, bias police work that is unfairly locking people away for life (not that any system will be perfect). But that's a simple, general concept here. Don't commit felonies - instead, be a decent human being that's a constructive part of society. It's not like it's one and done. You get 3 chances not to be a douche - providing some buffer against the bias police, immaturity + stupidity. I'm sorry, but if you steal from people on 3 separate occasions - f*** you, you're scum.
  4. We should probably give criminals a chance to commit 6 felony offenses before we put them away for good.
  5. This explains a lot.
  6. Regardless of the limitations of face pics - I'm legitimately pissed that Tinder was developed well after I was already married.
  7. Bo's old load kind of reminds me of Kendry Morales - who has a very odd load - yet is a great hitter.
  8. Put me down under the "no" column on that one. Adam Jones on the other hand? He's done as a quality player, which makes me happy.
  9. Is Joe doing something different this year? His K% has exploded, GB% is down and for only the 2nd time in his career his ERA is actually higher than his FIP + xFIP (he's historically been a FIP beater). He's been utterly dominant - but is doing it a lot different than in years past.
  10. Doesn't WAR account for this and the park factors (some diamonds didn't even have fences when Babe played. Other's had 480 ft CF walls
  11. Jesus. Sorry Term. I'll go sit in the corner and re-evaluate my life. Thanks.
  12. Edit - unless you have a child under the age of 10 and then you're just an awesome father.
  13. Wow - that's awesome. They are remarkably alike. Very interesting considering so many scouts question Bo's load.
  14. and I'm off to buy a lottery ticket....Go Jays Go.
  15. The next time anyone see's Latos, he'll be crushing ketchup pringles with Lawrie...
  16. How awesome would it be to talk with their bosses about the job they do and the audience they cater to?
  17. I love that's what you took from my post Ang. Awesome.
  18. f*** - whatever. You want to talk with Gruber about where Bo and Travis will be playing in 2020 - you be my guest. I can't wait to wade through the discussion about our 2020 lineup while looking for legit posts about our prospects. I mean f*** guys, that 2020 rotation with Stro, Sanchez, Zeuch, our 2017 #1 pick and SRF is going to be the BOMB. Connor Greene setting up Osuna - we'll be World Series favourites fo shizzle!
  19. I'd argue Romero's 3 year run from 2009 - 2011 was his full potential. This guy was utter garbage in the minors, had a hot spring in 2009 with gave him an opportunity in the rotation (partially due to his draft position + pedigree). From there he exceeded everyone's expectations and managed to run with it for 3 solid seasons. Interestingly enough, Sanchez is following a remarkably similar path. Biggest difference is he managed to throw in some dominate relief innings before a hot spring thrust him into the rotation, where he exceeded nearly everyone's expectations.
  20. JD + Pillar sure, but have you followed Tulo's career? The answer is a lot FFS.
  21. I thought we now have a highly educated staff of physicians who are helping to regulate this type of s***.....like how the 76'ers had doctors regulating how much practice time each of their athletes participated in. Am I mis-remembering again? Regardless, it is incredibly ignorant to put this on Gibby alone.
