@TheNBACentel People have been bitching about manipulating landing space rules the whole season. For many different players.

@BauerOutage Second Hypothetical: You take your talents to one of the many international leagues that could use a pitcher of your caliber. Prove yourself there so loudly that MLB Clubs are forced to take notice.
English
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.

@D1SCHER The 4 tickets plus food for $44 hits different these days…when you consider the losing and the rodent infestation. At least the parking is still cheap.

Just to recap, the angels:
- Tied for the current longest playoff drought in North American sports
- Lost Shohei to a crosstown rival, wasted Mike Trout
- On pace for bottom 5 record in MLB
- Rat infested
- 1-9 in their last 10
Keep pretending you guys have fun watching tho

@redrock_bball SS is a deep enough position where you're probably fine dropping if it means getting in on another potential long term add.
I'd hold off on dropping for another week if all you'll be doing is streaming the slot. You probably have a pitcher you can afford to drop instead.

@redrock_bball The rest of the Padres letting the guy down ngl. The Padres really should be top 2 in the division.

@NathanielBandy1 I love how the "state endorsed" Pokemon Showdown-esque game is just worse than Pokemon Showdown in that regard.
English
I'm no Pokemon expert... but why aren't all the Pokemon usable? Wasn't that the point of making a game like this?

HERE IT IS. The list of Pokémon that are usable in Pokémon Champions. Only 186 Pokémon are present currently in Pokémon Champions.

@redrock_bball I love how the basketball community would apparently much rather have this argument over saying the 65 game rule just blows.
English
How would Luka’s appeal work as of the 64 games he played, 2 were under 20 minutes. So if you add the parental leave games back on, he’s still at 64? Did I miss something ?
English
@redrock_bball Silver lining: Mikal Bridges has a statistically better shot of getting accolades.
English
I honestly cannot believe people are still defending the 65 game rule, some even going as far as to say it should be increased to 70. There has not been one single positive from the rule.
English
@FoulTerritoryTV @Alden_Gonzalez If it's a $4000 watch, then they're most likely Grand Seikos.
Get your facts straight.

Shohei Ohtani gifted his Dodgers teammates $4,000 Seiko watches with a note that read, "Let's three-peat."

Ben Revere ran really fast and had no power, so Chandler Simpson can run really fast and have no power.

Ryan Watson makes Red Sox Opening Day roster, per @ChrisCotillo.

@redrock_bball Good planning getting your 2B and 3B out of the way in the early rounds. Your bats could be better, but again, very safe if unexciting batting lineup that covers all your bases.
English
Feel free to rip this roto 5x5 team i drafted on Fantrax just now Fantasy baseball novice legend
English
@redrock_bball Very safe starting pitching that should keep you above water while you try to find the waiver gems.
Surprised you went Edwin Diaz over Mason Miller considering your (assumed) Padres fandom. Unless Miller somehow went earlier he's the consensus RP1

@GarryHarris420 @DanBesbris So it's a total coincidence that his nickname lines up with a popular British Sci-Fi show?
Honestly that makes way more sense.
English
@violetgil @DanBesbris He overslept his first day as a Celtic and missed his first press conference and a flight to Boston
The nickname was an ironic joke about his timekeeping skills

@JoeOrrico99 So unrelated, but I'm embarrassed to say that I never realized that you've been part of the contribution team for the Fantasy Baseball Black Book.
Those little things help me a ton with my fantasy prep every year and I just wanted to say thanks for the hard work you put into it.
