pretty sure this is settled NY state case law. Little bit like felony murder. if you are the getaway driver and your dumb ass brother in law kills the store clerk, you can be charged with murder. Like Trump, it is the combination of crimes that really ups the ante

Trump is currently rambling at Trump Tower - almost impossible to make sense of anything he said, but mainstream media will tidy it all up for him

you may be right and i may be crazy, but this is not out of the blue for him. he was really, really good his first 2 full years in STL. seen as the future ace to build around. this is what a healthy Flaherty looks like. who one knows how long his health will last.

6 year contract only goes thru age 34 season for Flaherty. Dollars not that relevant, but years will scare off Harris and lead to deadline trade

zero chance he does not get jail time. will he ever serve that time? don't know

MAGA taking it well

Flaherty is going to a problem for Harris. They can extend him, but the years are not going to be agreeable to a team that thinks they can find another Flaherty every winter. They can hold onto him and sign him in the winter, but the price will only be higher then. They can let him go for a comp pick, but that provides no help for 4 years. Or they can trade him, and absolutely, it would need to be for a guy who is ML ready. He couldn't meet the moment when trading ERod; no idea if he is able (willing?) to make a big, impactful move.

Dingler is having a monster May. Going to be 26 later this season so need to get a look at him in Detroit at some point

they are, yet again, telling us all what they will do; and, yet again, people will ignore these confessions; and, yet again, be shocked - SHOCKED I SAY! - when they do what they said they would do

no reason to think Gores has made a good decision here; history clearly tells us that; until he shows otherwise, Langdon is a horrible hire

per rulebook, call was correct. I don't think it should have been called, because the amount of interference was so very very minor. But as soon as IFFR called, batter was out. but play is not dead, as runners can advance at their risk

this may have been correct, but crazy to call it

the person most responsible for not having any viable alternatives to Javy at SS is Scott Harris.

said no one. ever.

what premium would they have to add on to get Flaherty to re-up for this crap for five more years? $20M?

Harris' moves have mostly worked out. His issues are 1) patience vs. complacency and 2) risk appetite. At some point he is going to have to take a risk; otherwise he's just treading water forever waiting for Lakeland talent to arrive.

reminds me of when Little Marco voted against his own immigration bill.

i was happy to get something for Greg Soto; probably should have moved Lange for a DSL SS when they could

"We spent a year incorrectly doom-casting a recession that never came; here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden."

another person not interested in policy, but just more clicks

well now

"The decision was 6-3" If Trump wins, that's hard coded for the rest of my life.
