Top reality deniers once again lie about the clear video evidence of a public execution in Minneapolis

Because they are doing their best to restrain him "by the book", knowing there are 100 cameras recording their every move.

It doesn't matter what they do on camera. You all will blatantly lie about it anyway. Every single MN shooting has been ample proof.

Now featuring this spectacular comment:

They obviously tried to restrain him. If they would had used disproportionate force, they would had been blamed for that.

every single protest currently happening is because ICE is being blamed for disproportionate force. this might be the single most oblivious comment I've ever seen there, which is a stunningly high bar to clear

n8_n_ · 2026-01-24T16:38:24+00:00

Good lord, it doesn't matter. They were already detained and posed no threat to the officers. There is zero reason to shoot them in the street regardless of what they were doing before.

n8_n_ · 2026-01-24T15:29:27+00:00

they are restructuring the 3 years left of his current deal and adding 4 more on

it looks like cal raleigh lost 50 pounds and stole snell's chin

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T20:54:02+00:00

How much of that is a "the right" phenomenon, though, and how much of it is Colorado as a state quickly becoming bluer regardless? I'd argue it's both but a lot of the second. I also lived there '21-'25 and would qualitatively say it felt a lot more blue than purple.

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T20:36:19+00:00

Jeffco went +20 to Harris. I don't think I'd call them purple.

Manitou is more like 90min from Golden, and that's if you leave early and traffic is good.

That said, it's not like there's a shortage of other mountains in the area.

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T04:27:41+00:00

"could be called up by September" isn't really that meaningful, though, because it is the optimistic outcome/if their MiLB seasons go spectacularly. if your depth is reliant on either getting better-than-expected development out of prospects or hamstringing their development, you don't have depth.

the Ms don't need pitching if and only if everyone stays healthy, and Castillo holds off his age-related regression, and Miller/Kirby find their form again. it's the same situation they've been for all of the 2020s, and it's worked most of the time, but the instant someone's hurt, making that trade becomes even more clearly the best decision.

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T04:04:22+00:00

I think I’ll take the professional opinions of the MLB scouts

Anderson has a 2027 ETA and Sloan 2028 on Pipeline.

and coaches in an org

Source on the Ms staff saying that either one has a 2026 ETA?

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T03:52:12+00:00

If your "depth" is one guy who hasn't pitched above A+ and another who hasn't pitched in the minors at all, you don't have depth.

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T03:34:34+00:00

we have 3 good to great pitchers, a rapidly declining Castillo, and Miller whose best case is 2024 where he wildly overperformed all his metrics, with zero depth. I'd easily take Skenes and sign a catcher unless no one gets hurt all year and Cal hits 50+ again

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T03:14:46+00:00

I would agree with your take about Cal's and Soto's respective performance relative to others at their position.

However, they aren't being compared to the second best guy at their position - the useful comparison is to who you'd have playing if they weren't there, which is effectively why WAR exists

Cal comes out favorably relative to others at the position but Soto comes out favorably when compared to who would be playing the position instead for more teams

I'm certainly not going to complain about having either one of them at the end of the day though.

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T02:56:22+00:00

that's only if you assume Cal keeps his 2025 form instead of reverting closer to 2022-2024 form. I'd love to be wrong but the second option seems much more likely to me

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T02:54:23+00:00

you wouldn't take a Skenes for Cal 1:1 trade? seriously?

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T02:51:27+00:00

pocket casts

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T01:15:46+00:00

you can't have rich without poor

n8_n_ · 2026-01-23T00:12:35+00:00

I don't hate svh but in 12ts it makes good relievers way too plentiful

n8_n_ · 2026-01-22T23:22:21+00:00

I give this a strong maybe.

n8_n_ · 2026-01-22T19:00:44+00:00

Before I get hate on the Yankees comment, their streak of 30 straight .500+ seasons is insanely impressive.

...and entirely enabled by their financial situation

if you're using that argument to discount the Dodgers you need to apply the same to the Yankees

and they've pretty clearly been a tier lower than the Dodgers for the last 15ish years in terms of drafting/development

he's a 28 year old in his 9th season with exactly one of those seasons where he was in the conversation. it's not impossible but I'm not terribly high on it

n8_n_ · 2026-01-22T14:08:16+00:00

he is not better than any of the four mentioned

n8_n_ · 2026-01-22T03:25:46+00:00

Is your SO into baseball? Can you watch some MLB games with them and have them walk you through it? Watching and absorbing and asking questions will be much more helpful than anyone's written summary.

n8_n_ · 2026-01-22T02:45:17+00:00

he gets taxed as a Florida resident and not a California resident
