One WAR is worth 8-10 million. If you think that is all he is worth, then do you even bother going beyond one year? I think if they offer him two years, it's because they think he is more than a one WAR player.
Sure, some of them work especially when you are giving up a reliever. I always recommend trading relievers at the deadline. Trading starting pithers and regular position positon players is more risky.
I kind of hope they extend Flaherty and Kelly rather than trade them. These deadline deals of rentals don't seem to have a high probability of success.
Walt was in Massachusetts for a conference a couple of years ago. He contacted me for a potential meeting, but he wasn't there very long and we couldn't schedule anything. Wish I had met him.
I went to a neurologist for a suspected pinched nerve this year. I got an EMG nerve test (really painful test, by the way) primarily to learn more about the source of the pinched nerve. The EMG also tests for Parkinsons, MS and other nerve disorders even though there was no reason to think I had any of those diseases. One could easily twist that around if I were a candidate!
These networks have criticized Trump, but have also normalized his behavior. They want to make sure he stays around because his stupid, outrageous quotes and behavior are worth millions to him.
I really hope you're right, but I've been hearing the same thing for 8 years. There is no way in hell that Biden or any other Democratic nominee will be up by double digits in the polls. We can only hope they can whittle away the deficit in a few swing states.
Don't expect any help from the media. They love Trump and will continue to normalize his behavior through election day.
They've had 40+ years to catch on. I doubt the light will suddenly go on now.
I was just reading about Project 25 and I don't see it as being any more outrageous than the outrageous stuff that has come out the last 8 years. As long as the media keeps normalizing Trump and the Democratic leaders continue not to convincingly communicate the dangers of a Trump presidency, I don't see anything changing. I think our only chance is that Trump says something so shocking or a tape is revealed of him saying something so shocking that people have to pay attention. Americns are shallow, so the message needs to be shallow unfortunately.
The ideas about "Project 25" have already come out, but the Democrats are doing a poor job articulating exactly how our democracy is in peril. Are we exprecting Biden to be able to do that? So far, they don't sound any different than conservatives raving about socialism taking over America.
He rarely sounds "good" anymore, so I wouldn't expect this interview to change any opinions. All I heard was a few clips. There were no serious errors, but he mumbled, sounded like an old man. That's the best you'll usually get from him now.
