Since you asked, I will give you the respect of answering your questions. But I was serious about dipping out of here because these threads are so pointless. My core disagreement is that you get this wrong right at the beginning. No "federal law" obligates the governor of Minnesota to...

I think that the primary defense y'all can up with is "the left was wrong about George Floyd" is... pretty telling about how bad the facts are here. I obviously don't hang out here that often anymore because it just people reposting from X and pretending that is a conversation, but sturg, you...

Luke Williams has a career 3.27 ERA, and by rWAR was tied for our 8th most valuable reliever despite only throwing 6 innings. Retaining him is a coup.

Yes, there are many reasons for protests. People protested when they briefly roped off an aisle at Walmart during COVID, and I thought that was pretty dumb. That we don't agree with some of them does not mean they all are meritless.

I completely disagree. The protests are in large part a response to the lawless seizures by ICE/CBP. At minimum. It also indicates a complete disregard for the law by a federal agency.

I also agree that people should be civil with law enforcement and my legal advice to my clients is to obey orders, even if they are clearly illegal, because that can be addressed in court. What I will say, however, is that in my day job I watch body camera footage of police officers all, and...

Okay, thank you, I appreciate the answer. And I agree with you that one is a problem, but we live in a world where sometimes errors happen. The real world answer is that since July, federal judges have found that over 2,300 people have been illegally held and ordered released. Just for...

You said infinity, not me. This was your one shot at me talking to you like an adult and you failed. Goodbye.

Is there a reason you won't answer this question? I am not asking you to take a protestor's word for it. I am asking how many adjudicated--by a judge--illegal arrests would it take for you to recognize there is a problem?

There is no damages remedy. Is your answer still “infinity”?

Answer my question, and I’ll answer yours.

Legitimate question: How many verifiably illegal arrests of people here legally (in whatever status) would it take to convince you that ICE is acting lawlessly and that’s what people are mad about?

If the main guy agreeing with you and liking your posts in this thread is arguing that the dead guy was part of a globalist conspiracy, you might want to pause and consider if you are thing about this rationally.

I give the Braves plenty of credit for Fried, and for Teheran, and for smart trades like Hudson, Jurrjens, Sale, etc. The point being made, however, is that those kinds of moves should be in addition to—not in place of—actually using the draft to find pitchers who we can develop and give us...

I did not list Wainwright for the Cardinals.

Yes, Teheran is an international sign and reached 10 WAR. My point was specifically about our drafting as compared to others, and I did not list any international signings for other teams either. I give the Braves absolutely no credit for Wainwright or Morton. Wainwright tore a ligament in...

Yeah, Hanson was the one that really broke my brain. He just seemed too good to be anything but an ace.

(a) I would never use FG for historical pitching WAR because I live in the real world where Strider has given up 189 ER in his career, not a fantasy world where he has only given up 155. (b) Soroka was half way there in one season. Hanson was halfway there. Medlen was halfway there. And then...

For comparison: DET: 6 (Verlander, Skubal, Thompson, Moehler, Porcello, Jeff Weaver) CHW: 5 (Buerhle, Sale, A. Fernandez, Rodon, Sirotka) COL: 5 (Freeland, Cook, J. Gray, Jennings, Francis) OAK: 5 (Hudson, Mulder, Zito, Harden, S. Gray) HOU: 4 (Oswalt, Keuchel, W. Miller, McCullers) MIL: 4...

Since 1990, here is the complete list of SP that the Braves have drafted and who accumulated 10 WAR (per bb-ref) as a member of the Braves: 1. Kevin Millwood Which is to say, my expectation for any given pitching prospect is low. For a group of them, it is underground.
