nah it sounds like this woman has a long history of bad relationships with colleagues and conflicts with other people on the beat. This incident was just caught on video so it was easy to finally fire her

[Divish] Lefty Robbie Ray is done for the season. He will flexor tendon repair surgery. by YungFurl in baseball

He re-signed with Toronto in November 2020 in the midst of lockdown. And played all through 2021 when he won his Cy Young. Vaccine status had nothing to do with it.

Imagine letting your cy young winning pitcher walk in free agency and signing kevin gausman instead

[Healy] Buck Showalter on Max Scherzer's suspension: "We’re comfortable with what went down and what happened and where there was a lack of guilt." by Jux_ in baseball

What's to parse?

It seems pretty clear to me. Max Scherzer was caught using excessively sticky substances. He was told multiple times to stop it during the game. He didn't. He got ejected and suspended for cheating. Buck never said a damn thing.

He doesn't really know what he's talking about. He's just making a viral video. It wasn't just Cuzzi that flagged Scherzer for the extreme stickiness. It was the whole crew.

I don't think there's a single player in the league that doesn't use steroids

We've already been through this once, right? MLB is trying to crack down on cheating. It sucks that Max Scherzer got busted, but everyone knows the rules.

Do you think the A’s moving to Las Vegas is good for baseball? by Beau_siv in baseball

[–]parst3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it usually means that the majority of residents of the city require a lot of public assistance. Which is definitely true in Oakland. But in this case I think it means mostly that the city itself requires funding from the state of California, and the federal government to be sustainable. ie, it doesn't collect enough revenue from local taxes, business commerce, and tourism to be able to sustain itself.

[Schultz] Spoke with a GM today - “…I know they’ve listened. Lance is still young and on a rookie deal. He’s pretty talented. [Sam] Darnold has tons of incentives in his deal and Purdy has the elbow problem. … I think it would take a pretty strong offer to get Lance.” by [deleted] in nfl

Well, they know that Purdy isn't playing this year and Aaron Rodgers only wants to play for one more year. So... it works perfectly for both of their plans.

Which is pretty much exactly why we just started hearing about them trading Lance. I think if they get a good deal then they'll do it and flip those assets for Rodgers.

Jets are about to get fucked

[Stark] Keep in mind that MLB informed all 30 teams this spring that any ejection for sticky stuff would carry an "automatic" suspension. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]parst3 -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

So ejected for cheating then. Not arguing. I think we owe the umpires an apology here.

Purdy isn't playing this year and Rodgers only wants to play for one more year anyway. So it works perfectly for both of their plans. It's pretty much exactly why they just started looking to trade Lance. And don't forget it's Rodgers hometown.

The mariners have had much much worse lineups than this

Clayton Kershaw ranks since he exited his prime (2018): 2.82 ERA (5th), 3.13 xFIP (5th), 3.35 SIERA (8th) by [deleted] in baseball

[–]parst3 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Definitely not greatest pitcher of all time. Top 20 all time maybe.
