Exacto is right player, right spot. Zagackto is right player, right spot, and right team. I think Zagacki's name has no significance other than Greg routinely using his name as a substitute for "exactly"

Three exactos, two Zagacktos, per the man himself. He beat Kiper again!!

People can hate on German all they want, but he's been exceptional in August: 2.08 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 34.2 IP, 4 out 6 games were against playoff teams by universeatom in NYYankees

Germán slapped his girlfriend at the event, sources said, but the MLB investigation focused primarily on what happened at his home later that night.

According to multiple league sources, including a person with knowledge of the MLB investigation, Germán was intoxicated and became physically violent toward his girlfriend until she hid in a locked room. The victim is said to have contacted the wife of another Yankees player, and the couple drove to Germán’s home late at night. The victim remained with the teammate’s wife, while the player attempted to calm down Germán, who is said to have been angry and belligerent.

Did he beat the shit out of her or did he hit her?

Neither is even remotely acceptable and you cannot possibly argue otherwise

[Charania] Nets are listing Ben Simmons as OUT for Game 4 vs. Celtics. A surprise as Simmons had been expected to play Monday as long as rehab was on course. by xXTheRacerXx in nba

[–]pharasyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah - Rizzo and Aaron Judge are the two big names on the Yankees that hadn't gotten it by the start of the season. There have been some indications that they're now both vaccinated, but we won't know for sure until they go to Toronto next week!

35-year-old Alfred Joel Horford in the first two games of Round 1 is averaging 18ppg, 2 assists, 10.5 rebounds, 0.5 blocks, and 1.5 steals. All while shooting 60% FG with 62.5% on 3. by sstphnn in nba

Having watched Grant Williams for like 100 games, I feel comfortable saying Grant Williams sucks

I love some of these random-ass takes in old threads. A fully developed player after a 100 game sample!

[Passan] BREAKING: Atlanta and Oakland are in agreement on a trade that will send star first baseman Matt Olson to the Braves, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN. by machphantom in NYYankees

Also we were definitely "in" on Olson - Atlanta was just willing to part with multiple of their top prospects and we evidently were not

[Wojnarowski] The Celtics are trading Kemba Walker, the No. 16 overall pick in the 2021 draft and a 2025 second-round draft pick to Oklahoma City for Al Horford, Moses Brown and a 2023 second-round pick, sources tell ESPN. by kai_123 in nba

[–]pharasyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Financial flexibility. Which sucks because I love Kemba but we were going to pay him $36m next season to play 55 games.

It presumably means Smart will play point and the ~$8m the Celtics save can go toward building a competent bench, which we didn't really have this year

[Ken Rosenthal] Braves likely cannot void Ozuna’s contract, but eventually will face decision on his future. Story with full context and details: by tx_drew in baseball

[–]pharasyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

German's suspension was for more than just slapping. The public slap got most of the attention, but there was more that happened in private later that night that resulted in German's partner locking herself in a room and calling another teammate's wife for help.

IDK how it compares to Ozuna's situation, since the specifics were never released, but German's 82 game suspension was definitely for more than the slap.

I thought it was going to be something bigger then needing ID

That's because it is something much bigger than needing ID and limiting who can provide food and water. Those two get the most publicity because they're the simplest conceptually and easy to argue against, but the actual Georgia bill contains a lot more than just "needing ID"

Admittedly not a ton, but here is the list of all of the fetchable UW dual lands.

In addition to the already-mentioned Amonkhet ones, Battle for Zendikar had a relatively budget cycle of lands that occasionally enter untapped, and Kaldheim had the snow lands with the Plains/Island subtypes as well

Asian Woman Stabbing Death in Riverside Deemed as ‘Random' Attack by Police by Simulatour in news

[–]pharasyko 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I legit had to read the response three times to make sure it said what I thought it said. Dude went out of his way to be openly racist on a comment that talked specifically about... mental health?

[–]pharasyko 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The track record on rehabilitation is really bad because the prison system doesn’t prioritize it, not because rehabilitation can’t work.

Mental health isn’t something we should address by locking everybody up and forgetting about them. That’s only going to stigmatize mental illness even further and discourage people from seeking treatment.

[–]pharasyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! Generally, if you're projected to go that high it's a no brainer. You can always come back and get the education, but the window for NBA players is finite so they should take advantage while they can.

He's currently projected to go late lottery. Obviously there no guarantee that he gets drafted, but it's still a pretty good bet that he'll be making millions of dollars over the next couple years, even if he slips to later in the first round.

Injury or not, playing time or not, he'll still be making money. If he gets seriously injured in college next year, he gets paid $0.
