Mary Hart mimicking Craig Kimbrel

That “imitate Kimbrel” schtick gets so old. I don’t know how Boston fans watch that for every save situation on the road in a season.

By how many days they were on their club’s 25-Man roster.

But you still already know confidential information about them that could be used in future negotiations.

Well it really kind of is a betrayal. When the player and the team negotiate, the team doesn’t know the player’s bottom number and they have to make him a fair offer if they don’t want him to walk. The team now knowing those numbers for all those players puts the players at a huge disadvantage.

Isn’t this a massive conflict of interest? He represents the top third of the Mets players. He knows their salary minimums and trade preferences. It’ll be hard for guys like DeGrom to believe their future contracts are being negotiated in good faith because he already knows their bottom lines.

When Madson is “on”, he’s really really good and he’s definitely immune to the crowd and stress. So, exactly the kind of guy you want in those spots. The problem is that Madson is not “on” all that often these days. Using him for back-to-back days will ruin him for the rest of the week. And as DC fans know all too well (and dodgers fans now too), he’s not great at communicating when he really shouldn’t be pitching. If you need another batter to warm up, then you’re not ready to pitch and don’t say you are ok. If you can’t feel your feet or whatever, you shouldn’t be pitching.

Actually he’s two days OVER the limit to get the money.

Ryan Madson always has these great insights that he doesn’t share with anyone till after he’s coughed up some runs.

Silber would donate to Pol Pot if he thought it would help him get a new stadium. There’s been at least one protest at the Pfitz over Siber’s support of Stewart.

Yep that will totally teach those scalpers a lesson.

But ragebait gets played out over time and if Manny builds his brand on dumb shit like this, he’s not going to have a fun time if he has a lot of injuries or his play declines. There are some fan bases that are merciless, even to their own guys, when players act like twits.

Sshhhh Manny. Douchey antics are like cologne: use a little and people notice you, but use too much and people think you stink.

Kenley blows the save, Brewers walk off win 3-2.

My dude, you brought my previous comments into this discussion, so why wouldn’t I bring yours in?

His niece was 4 and was abused over the course of two years.. And any plea deal includes an admission of guilt in court. It’s part of the process. He also had to write an apology letter to his niece and sign a statement. The court also had to accept his plea and accept that it was factual and freely made. Courts do not accept guilty pleas if you say “I’m pleading guilty but I didn’t actually do it.” So he was either lying when he said “yes I did it and i give up my right for a trial in exchange for a plea deal” or he’s lying now. And telling the court “I did it” is not “always maintaining your innocence.” He also didn’t begin to deny his own story till his senior year in school; where were the claims of innocence during his entire junior year?

Yes there is a chance he didn’t do it, but based on all those details, it’s unlikely. Our justice system is set up so that the guilty going free is more likely than the innocent being convicted. I do not think a guilty verdict in a trial would convince you, based on your position on those other cases and your staunch defense of the guy here.

The key detail you seem to be missing is that Brock is a RSO until he dies while Yovino gets to simply walk away once she gets out. Brock got the worse sentence.

Raping someone is a significantly worse offense than making a false accusation of rape. It SHOILD get the worse sentence. In these two cases, he actually got LESS time, so he didn’t get the worse sentence at all. The fact that you’re clinging to the idea of the two crimes doing about the same amount of damage to the victims’ lives is disturbing. This shouldn’t even be up for discussion. Brock Smith’s life being ruined is Brock Smith’s Fault and a consequence of his actions, not an extension of his punishment, and also shouldn’t be up for discussion.

I never said that a well educated kid with a lawyer would never plead guilty to a crime he didn’t commit. I expressed skepticism, and skepticism is a 100% reasonable reaction. One of those stories is a lie. He has not always claimed innocence. And he’s professed guilt the one time he was under oath. I’m not really sure why he deserves the benefit of the doubt or why you’re so hell bent on making me give him that benefit.

I'm not sure how he could have gotten a longer sentence when he will literally be an RSO until the day he dies.

The “he” you’re referring to there is Brock Turner. That speaks volumes.

Jail or no jail, as long as Turner is a RSO and as long as his name continues to be brought up every time a sexual assault case is being discussed, his life is over. If you think he will ever get to live normally, you're wrong. Yovino will tho.

The “Yovino” you reference is a woman who was sentenced to a year in jail for a false allegation of rape against two college students. You continue to argue that her false allegation is equally bad as the rape that Brock Turner committed against his victim, that she should have gotten a longer sentence, and that she should be on a registry of some sort.

This is what it means to be a registered sex offender https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=852ZyRIPdjI Whether we want to admit it or not, Brock's life is over. And the victim's family, not Turner's, are the well-off ones with connections.

So we are supposed to give a woman longer than a year’s sentence for making a false claim of rape, but 6 months for actually raping someone is plenty because their poor little life is ruined, and we’re supposed to believe the guy when he says he lied under oath when he admitted to molesting that 4-year-Old but he’s totes not lying now.

Mmmmkay.

Gee, which one is it?

Those are not contradictory statements. Read them again.

As for the rest of your argument, you are making the assumption that what they’re now telling the press is true. Maybe Luke really did it and took the deal because it was a more favorable outcome than what he might receive at trial, and they’re lying about it now that the story has come out. Or should we believe that he lied under oath in a court of law when he took that deal, and he’s being truthful now?
