@Callidus67 Trevor Bauer isn’t going to make out with you.
English
Texted my friend who works in a high level position in a MLB front office to ask him if he had any insight into why Trevor Bauer isn’t getting any traction in the MLB again. This is his verbatim response, copied and pasted with permission:
“No interest in him for yrs. PR nightmare, players don’t want him around, control freak and a diva, wants special treatment. League minimum talk on X is a desperation play for clicks, eyeballs. Every scouting dept monitors NPB, MEX. Velo+spin down, control diminishing. Workout programs took backseat to YouTube career, shows on field. Doesn’t have the stuff to make a 40man, wouldn’t make our LowA roster. Would be shocked if he ever gets even a minor league deal again. Def won’t with us, friends in other offices say same.”
Nature is healing. 🥰🥰🥰
Trevor Bauer (トレバー・バウアー)@BauerOutage
Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A. If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club. But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club. What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.

@CNviolations Put peanut butter on finger, put pill on top of peanut butter, put pill/peanut butter on roof of dogs mouth. They will lick the peanut butter to get it off the roof of their mouth and pretty much have to get the pill

@ZachGelb @John_Fanta “I think he’s gonna work at it” bro just be yapping

Can Mike Malone take UNC to the Final Four within his first 3 seasons at Chapel Hill?
@John_Fanta and I discuss.
English
Thank you, Seth.
Big boosters that I'm close with are pretty much in unison here. We don't want to pay this much before even paying Tommy Lloyd a penny in salary.
Billy Donovan continues to be our 1a. Talks are moving progressively well.
Seth Davis@SethDavisHoops
The idea that North Carolina can afford to pay Hubert Davis $5 million to leave and Arizona $9 million for Lloyd's buyout before they've given him a penny in salary or a dime for his roster seems very far fetched to me, to put it mildly.

There's been a significant shift in the betting odds on who will become the next coach at #UNC...

@ProblemWright I would tell them foul if u get beat/see someone get beat. Dude from Iowa drilled that shit
English
Can we talk game theory?
1 FLA Vs 9 IOWA
FLA up 2 with less than 10 secs left. Iowa ball.
Is a foul sending Iowa to the line for 2 FTs not a better option than potentially getting hit with a dagger 3?
Just feel %’s and outcomes are better for FLA if they foul. Lets discuss.

@tanner_tripp There’s a reason he does videos on YouTube. Not a real/good coach

The bballbreakdown downfall has been something to behold
BBALLBREAKDOWN@bballbreakdown
It's always a good idea for the coach to have a goal with every interaction they have with their players. Whatever Pitino wants from his player, do you think this is the **best** way to get him to change the way he's playing?

@Fish7718 @jfromflorida1 @NBA_NewYork He’s a good scorer, but he still can’t beat them and it obviously gets to him.
English
@jfromflorida1 @WeDemHeels @NBA_NewYork Yeah idk maybe we just watch the games, if you think Brunson has been the reason we can’t beat the pacers in the playoffs idk what to tell you
English
Jalen Brunson jaws at Rick Carlisle who wants an 8-second violation on him. Then Carlisle gets heated & T'd up
English
The Pacers have gone 0-12 since the All-Star break and now have a 15-52 record, nearly one year after making the NBA Finals.
Just brutal.
English
@jfromflorida1 @NBA_NewYork Tf you talking bout Brunson has his highest career average against the pacers and shoots 50%+ from the field against them

Leaving a cushy job as a scooper at ESPN to play kingmaker at your alma mater and then oust a coaching legend because you think you know more about basketball than him is an objectively wild thing to do.
Let’s see how it plays out for Woj.

@bowecho777 @Apple I’m curious if they will allow school districts to repair the devices in house, or if they will require every repair to be done by an apple certified repair center. No in house repairs would outweigh any benefits

@Jordan96Forever @DustinDopirak A lot of those were heaves lol the ones he’d be shooting would be exactly like the one that he did make. Wide ass open lol not saying it will happen but I don’t think it’s out of the picture that with more reps he can start knocking some down
English
@DustinDopirak That's wild. He's 1/12 from 3 for his career. 😅 youtu.be/fSob7hTtFmI?si…

Discussed the dunker spot vs. corner thing a little on here. Here's the whole quote: "I'm gonna be in the corner a lot more than in the dunker. I'm used to being in the dunker when I want the ball, but that's something he doesn't want...."

As usual Duke got hosed by the refs
Caleb Young@Dukenutbro
@SethDavisHoops 1 foul in 20 mins. Unreal
