    He's been in the league long enough, that his career .328 BABIP simply isn't a reflection of bad luck. He just isn't that good. Only 2 seasons has he been below the MLB average. And his average EV is worse than league average as well. He's the very definition of a mediocre reliever.

    It doesn't matter. If what was discussed wasn't classified, they can text each other. If it needs to be classified, they have other venues that are encrypted in which to communicate. Communication on a 3rd party app that deletes your messages gives the appearance that you don't want your...

    While I am not necessarily in favor of deporting this particular girl (I don't know any details beyond this tweet), permanent residents do indeed know that there are repercussions for breaking US Law, one of which is deportation. So she made her bed in this particular case. But I would prefer...

    I get that. Just poking fun. But regardless, it isn't a similar situation. If they are communicating via technology, those are records. And having those records deleted is, at the very least, in the gray area of the law, if not an outright violation.

    It's all classified information. There are different levels of classified information, but suffice to say, this isn't a discussion they wanted the rest of the world to know.

    Unless they were all in that room and a reporter was sitting in the corner and no one noticed.

    Shouldn't the others in the chat known who was or wasn't part of the chat? I mean this isn't a fantasy football group chat here. If you're discussing classified information, I would assume you would know who you are sharing it with. If you could be even a little unbiased, you could see that.

    As mqt pointed out, they still have records of when meetings hapopen. So while the discussions aren't recorded, we do know that they spoke. And we already have encrypted emails and servers on which to communicate. So I fail to see how that makes things more difficult to get done. And we could...

    No his problem is that he walks the world and gets rattled too easily.

    Does it matter? Are you in favor of transparency or not? Either you support the Freedom of Information Act or you don't.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    Discussing classified foreign policy (military actions no less) on a third party app doesn't seem like the most secure form of communication, regardless of who let who let in. And it gives the appearance that high ranking government officials don't want a paper trail of their conversations. Both...

    Thethe, this is pretty egregious example of ineptitude when it comes to national security. It isn't quite as big of a deal as some are making it out to be, but it isn't a nothing burger either. It's more of a "nothing bad happened, but it had the potential for something bad to happen" sort of...

    He's been excellent this spring, but surely they realize that's a bad idea..

    MCU Thread (Spoilers inside)

    Anthony Mackie as the New Cap didn't work. His character was more of a sidekick before Endgame and then they thrust him into the Captain America role where he really doesn't fit. They should have just buried the Captain America role after Endgame and moved on to something else. I thought the...

    Dude, he was billed as a mid rotation SP as a prospect. And that's exactly what he was for about 2 seasons. That's why he was ranked highly. Not every highly ranked pitching prospect is going to considered to have future ace potential. Just stop with your bad takes.

    Riley, Ozzie, Arcia, and Dylan Lee? And that is just the WS roster. Ozuna, Acuna, and Strider were on the regular season squad.

    Ryan Yarbrough is available. He would be a pretty fantastic 3rd lefty.

    Why not? Never hurts to have options. He's been a better hitter to this point than Allen. Also, I think Arcia might just be done as a MLB player in general. I wouldn't be surprised to see him DFA'd before the end of the season. He looks really, really bad.

    Probably to start the season since he hasn't been getting at bats. I can't imagine we'll seriously entertain JK and De La Cruz in the OF for more than a week or so.
