    Is it really that crazy? Everyone always knew Martin was good, I thought.
  2. el diego
    I mean, I generally agree, but you can't use hindsight to this effect.

    I think it's perfectly plausible that he was traded for less than he could have gone for simply because of the assault and without it being worse than we know and with no interference from Rogers. Not saying it's smart, but it's not something that would surprise me. I know I posted my conspiracy theory above but I don't think there needs to be one for this trade to have happened.

    Conspiracy theory time: The Jays know some facts that others don't regarding the assault and it is much worse than currently thought, so they shipped him out before they became public. .001% chance of being true but I couldn't help but think of it.

    Yeah I think he said on paper it didn't seem that good. He also said he doesn't regret it because he doesn't think he would have done a good job. He's right, he would have been an awful fit. Keanu was perfect for the role of Neo. Still one of the goofier turn downs in hindsight. I never knew about the Travolta/Gump one. That's a woozler.

    Stroman's 'stuff-to-result' conversion is wack. I have this uber athletic buddy (let's call him Buddy) who has no mentals/focus and we always joke about how if you put yourself into Buddy's body then you'd probably be in the NFL right now. I'm starting to get that same vibe from Stroman, but instead of putting yourself in his body, give yourself his pitch repertoire.

    I hate it when these kids get put at SS because they are the star player when they clearly aren't the best defender for that spot. A lot of this has to do with me getting pushed to 3B as a kid on my one team because the actual 3B was our best hitter and he wanted to play SS so the coaches let him. In retrospect I was a soft ass bitch for not speaking up.

    I don't think we can conclude anything about what happened or is happening based on the conditions imposed.
  9. el diego
    Police often hand out conditions that seem logical on the surface, but they're just following a local formula and apply them without thinking. It can be very frustrating, especially when you realize that cities across Canada vary widely on what conditions they impose. Take a look at this table for example (I do note this is for those charged under the Young Offenders Act, however I think the point still stands): http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/cj-jp/yj-jj/rr04_yj1-rr04_jj1/t2_2.html Are we to believe that youth in Winnipeg are much more dangerous at night than youth in Toronto? I do grant that different areas may have unique issues, but this variation can't make sense. My area is not listed in that table but they hand out no alcohol and curfew conditions like candy, even for dry events that happened during the daytime.

    Alternatively, you guys could chat online about Blue Jays topics and we could read your comments. Please post the link here, would be interested in reading all your guys' takes.

    VLADIMIR GUERRERO JR SCOUTING REPORT PROS: advanced approach at the plate... natural power to all fields... hits for contact and power... great pedigree... born in Canada so certain of age

    Lol wtf
  13. el diego
    Yeah, but he knew it was you based on your BABIP and K rate.
  14. el diego
    What are you talking about? This woman went to the cops and provided a video statement and displayed physical evidence of getting abused, and you're mad at her? Sometimes I think the backlash against the lynch mob is so awful and then I read comments like this and I realize that the world truly is the worst. Can't believe you created an account just to post this trash.
  15. el diego
    You forgot his worst crime: Yelling "I'm Matt f***ing Bush!!" as he beat up teenagers.

    Plead this one out and get on the atonement train, Bobby.
  17. el diego
    I'll preface this by saying that I know there are quite large regional differences in police behaviour between the provinces (heck, even within provinces), but this is what I would say: 1. It is not common for police to do a video taped statement for a simple assault 2. It is common to release the accused on his own recognizance with standard conditions + no contact order + non attendance at complainants home, work, etc. 3. It is common for a simple domestic assault to be handled through mediation (especially for a first time offender) 4. It is not common for police or the Crown to "threaten" a recanting witness and even less common for them to follow through with it, although they will obviously tell them what the law is Like I said, I know there are large regional differences in police practices, and I'm not working in Ontario, but I find my experiences to be pretty different from yours.

    "Osuna was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend. That doesn't mean he did it, but he probably did something bad. People shouldn't do that and you should never be ok with that happening. This doesn't mean you becoming a pitcher will make you a bad person. Watch tape of Greg Maddux." That wasn't hard.
  19. el diego
    I don't know anything about Osuna's girlfriend, but if she doesn't speak English very well then that could come into play, too. Not for Charter rights or anything, but for reliability/accuracy of the statement.
  20. el diego
    Ah yeah, just saw that. I can't recall off the top of my head what happened to other DV cases beyond the final suspension so I don't know what MLB's usual protocol is.
  21. el diego
    Am I missing something? From the same article: "Under the policy, MLB can place a player on paid administrative leave for up to seven days while it investigates."
  22. el diego
    Yes she would. I have seen this happen (not regularly, but it is certainly not unheard of). Just because something is stupid and illegal doesn't mean people don't do it. After all, people assault their girlfriends and that is both stupid and illegal.
  23. el diego
    I like this line of thinking. I also would guess that Clippard still carries some name value in a trade; throw some saves on top of that and you've got the potential to get something usable back for him.
  24. el diego
    I never disagreed with that.
  25. el diego
    People do call 911 over yelling matches, especially if they are unreasonably upset in that moment. Neighbours do call the cops if they're pissed at loud neighbours. Cops do lay charges with little to no physical evidence. People who call the cops do routinely recant. I'm not saying that you're incorrect and that nothing happened, I'm saying with the lack of facts we have that it is a possibility. And heck, I'm not even saying it's a (or the most) likely possibility. The whole point of my initial post was that that was at the least extreme end of what possibly happened.
