Uh, I wonder if the Yankees pitchers are gonna start ... you know ... just walking Vladdy?

Might be a sensible approach.

And yet, I agreed with you. A point that you seem not to have noticed.

Or switch to linux.

Because the culture is broken? Pro cycling had to endure that... and I think it's better (tho folks still question the elite athletes)...
I'm still not certain that baseball has dealt with its issues.

Oh, that's a stretch. Listen, your team broke a crapton of rules. I mean, conventional sign-stealing was happening, but your team got caught. I'm sure others were doing it too. Live with it. And now, with pitchcomm, that's no longer an issue.

There is data evaluating at bats that show there were bangs for him. Educate yourself.

I kinda am, yes.

Only because the OP raised Altuve by name. Not one of you has questioned my views of Springer - who as far as I am concerned was up to his butthole in the whole affair and got off pretty much unscathed. Ditto Alex Cora.

Did I ever mention "ban?" This is what's wrong with the Interweb. Nobody can actually engage in a rational discussion.
I started by questioning Altuve's innocence. At no point have I raised any discussion on what the repercussions should be/should have been.

If six of my co-workers steal from the $2 chocolate bar box without paying, and I don't .... I still know my co-workers are stealing and if I keep my yap shut, I am simply aiding and abetting.

It's that simple.

Uh .... even if you buy the argument "Altuve refused to cheat" he knew about it, allowed it to happen and was a willing participant.

Lemme put this in simple terms.

I could live with a routine double play right now.

This is the guy's first pro season. That's reasonable. The lead-blowing - yeah, that's on Schneider's inability to manage pitchers. Who starts Monday? A fucking bullpen day? Lauer? He left Bassitt off the post-season roster, FFS.

Did you just say "Jose Altuve" did nothing?
And you meant it?
Uh ... yeah. OK.

Because Schneider and his tipsy buddy Pete Walker can't manage pitchers worth shit?

Now, be honest. Part of that has to do with the fact the rest of the bullpen is often a hot mess.

Are we sorry? I don't think we're sorry.

Testicle-shrink juice does not aid co-ordination.

Well, that was fun. Firefox updated, and turned into a slow-moving pile of utter sludge. And then it corrupted when I tried to roll it back.
Spent two hours wrestling with tech, realizing how much shit we trust to google sign-ins.

I guess the juice doesn't help with healing? :P

Even better the more insurance for anyone else but Hoffman.

Aye. Chew through the bullpen. Make them work. Keep making them work.

Yup. There is is. The inevitable bonehead pitching decision by Schneider and Boozy Pete. #bluejays

You forgot the #secondcomingofbradhand hashtag.

Are fans actually crediting Schneider/Walker for a sensible pitching change?
I know I'm under the weather, but what the hell did wifey put into my tea?

Did you just quote "Babe?"

With Mastodoneach server is its own thing, and the owner/mod of that server can block whatever it wants. My server is a buncha metalheads, mostly german, and they are totally anti-nazi, LGBTQ welcoming, etc.
But the format doesn't work as well as this for the kind of contacts I want.

What are the alternatives? Mastodon is clunky, and doesn't give me the new stuff I would like. Twitter is a fascist cesspool, reddit is full of nazi fuckwits, facebook is a broken mess....

If those fuckclowns try to invade Canada, I'm kinda thinking that between blackflies and winter, we won't have to do a freaking thing.
