Konnor Griffin gets a nine-year, $140 million deal from the Pirates. That shatters the record for largest contract before making an MLB debut
English
@Teast231 @HovSS44 @TalkinBaseball_ @JomboyMedia Just say “professional debut” then. As written the statement is obviously incorrect.
English
@HovSS44 @TalkinBaseball_ @JomboyMedia I would think that with Konnor Griffin he is still considered a prospect and not a professional unlike Yamamoto who played 7 seasons in a professional league. Maybe that is what they mean by their statement.
English
@William_D_Great @mattyglesias Think the idea is that punishing crime and driving like an asshole are both right-wing coded activities.
English
@mattyglesias I don't understand the "flip around" comment or why you think that would be true
English
It's funny that the politics of "punish repeat offenders" tends to flip around when the question is traffic laws, but in both cases it's a good idea.
Transportation Alternatives@TransAlt
Because super speeders are such significant repeat offenders, residents in the top 20 districts are exposed to speeding violations 10 times more often than in the bottom 20 districts. Super speeders were caught speeding in the top 13 as many times as the bottom 52 combined.

@TurtizzleLive @ElevatorFart @KFCBarstool Just because something is close doesn’t mean it’s unclear or inconclusive though.
English
@ElevatorFart @KFCBarstool It just puts it on par with every other challenge, where there is clear evidence to overturn.
How is that stupid?
English
That pitch the other day that was like right over the whole ass plate? Great ABS.
This? Succccccks. I know this can’t be the rule but it should almost be the ball has to be in the zone a certain amount. One millimeter touching the zone are toss up calls that should stay that way

Salvy teaching Doug Eddings the bottom of the strike zone. Over and Over and Over again. But Eddings refuses to learn. 😂

@Jamsanpan @RestrictedDaily What do you mean, any “first” century? There was only one first century.
English
@RestrictedDaily Total garbage! Any first century always starts with a zero.

Final Jeopardy time. No Googling… just instincts. What’s your answer?
English
@_universe_boss_ @CodifyBaseball i completely agree. This basically just makes the entire box 1 inch wider...so dumb

@TalkNats @ChuckDouglas_ He’s only had one instance all season, he’s practically a Boy Scout!
English
Words quickly come back on you. Now you have an accountability situation when a player didn't hustle and stood at homeplate to watch a ball hit off the wall. Then the player was thrown out at 2nd base and cost the team a challenge.
Talk Nats@TalkNats
Accountability. To me, it starts simply with showing you care. Allowing players to jog to 1st base is the equivalent of saying "I've given up." 🙄
English
@ChuckDouglas_ @TalkNats Yes, luckily this is the first instance of impropriety involving CJ. I can only assume it will be his last. What a relief!
English
@TalkNats Relax. It's one instance. Not a series of infractions. What's your remedy.. You want them to bench Adams after one game? This would be a bigger deal had they lost by a run. But, they didn't. So, I'd suggest you just chalk it up as a lesson learned and move on.
English
@JeffStory289783 @PRnDCSportFan @PitchingNinja @BeardedNatitude Believe it’s a strike and a dead ball.

@BasOMatic @N0tAnthonyDavis @mattyglesias I think a huge theme of the Wire is that you can’t really neatly categorize people into good and evil. Yes, even murderers. Was Cutty evil?
English
@AmericoolBQ @N0tAnthonyDavis @mattyglesias They murdered people. Hell the fuck yeah they were evil.
English
@N0tAnthonyDavis @mattyglesias He was corrupt and venal. I don't know about evil. Marlo Stanfield was evil. The Barksdales were evil. Davis was just trying to get a piece of all the money flying around a corrupt system and if he helped constituents along the way, all the better.
English
@WeAreAllShack I mean I agree with you that overall he’s bad and shouldn’t be a part of future plans, but you know everyone means *defensively* when they say this.
English
“He’s one of the best center fielders in baseball” he has the 3rd worst OPS in baseball since he made his debut no he is not
Opening Day Shack@WeAreAllShack
Every single ST I have to see an endless stream of “Jacob young is one of the best cf in baseball” “he should be playing every day” at what point will people just accept that he’s a 4th outfielder at best
English
@Wildcats_Braves @Ken_Rosenthal Seems like a “fool me twice, shame on me” situation.
English
@Ken_Rosenthal Any kind of morality clause Atlanta could invoke to kill the contract now that he’s been caught 2x?
English

@eventualforever Uhh reply to this post if you want the whole show + webseries + Adventures + piano sessions bc I scraped the site last week in a moment of prescience

What a stupid fucking way to interpret this incredible character

This was such a great Moment❤ Orange just saying "fuck this, I'm kicking him for real." 🤯

I think the tweet is pretty clear about what I mean

@AidanThaGod Speaking of which. What did you mean by this?
English
@offbeatorbit If they’re Chase points then one of the best uses of those is transferring to Hyatt points. Generally get a much higher point value (2.5 to even 4 cents per point) than you would using the points on flights, etc.

I’m trying to plan my summer vacation but im afraid of using my credit card points which is stupid bc this is literally the point of accumulating so many…

𝐌𝐋𝐁 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐬 analysis of the MacKenzie Gore trade to the Rangers:
“Considering that he (Gore) was the No. 1 trade candidate and his age, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡. They get a proven (if inconsistent) starter for two years for a bunch of maybes.”
English
@SportsSturm I don’t understand the fumble rules one. If a player goes down without getting touched and the ground knocks the ball out, it’s a fumble. So what did he think needs changing?
