I get it. I just find his answers and comments to often be an eye roller where there is a small element of self promotion. If he wants to actually BE sophisticated, his answer would have been better than that.

So you buy his bullshit. Congrats. I don’t.

Angel fans: ”Trade for a high-quality starter but don’t trade any young players.”

Your brand matters most when you are loved or hated or (ideally) both. The highest rated games are between teams that are both loved and hated. Rival games. Yes it would be fantastic for the Angels if were more deeply loved and more deeply hated.

Let me just say the hate for Yankee and Red Sox fans is documented.

Maddon can’t just say “Yes Iglesias has been very good and we need a very good closer next year” ? Every Maddon answer has to be cute? If Maddon thinks that simple answer would actually handcuff or compromise the front office in a contract negotiation, then he is an absolute fool. But he doesn’t think that. The reality is he just defaulted to his normal mode of taking every opportunity to give an answer that paints a picture that he is a seasoned nuanced, clever, unique treasure of a manager. Wow Joe. We were wondering about Iglesias next year, but thanks for reminding us how insightful and sophisticated you are. Barf.

I know it is not at all directly related to the calf injury, but isn’t it time for Trout to stop sliding head first? I cringe every time he does it. I didn’t when he first came up, but now I do. It is so unnecessary to slide head first.

How long do we get to be hopeful for 2022 before we get punched in the gut and told to look toward 2023 instead?

Scherzer Ohtani Gausman Sandoval Detmers Canning Yeah, it will be expensive to add two really good starters. I plead guilty. I want to actually win, not fantasize about winning and pat ourselves on the back for staying under budget.

He probably hurt his back drilling chicks from Huntington Beach. Dude was a playa.

I am amused by the idea of “Sensitivity Training” when the people bothered by everything should be the ones getting themselves trained to be less sensitive.

My brother is a pretty funny dude. He was an insane punk rocker in high school who got in probably hundreds of fist fights. The one thing he said about that was once you got your ass kicked a few times you kind of stop being afraid of getting your ass kicked. Afyer that, the new decision on fighting is if you just think the other guy deserves to get punched in the mouth a few times regardless of what punches you take in return. My brother is all grown up now. He is 50 years old. Way past normal fist fighting age. But the no fear of consequences attitude remains. He has a mental list of about a dozen people that if he ever saw them in person he would punch them in the mouth with no hesitation regardless of the consequences. Olbermann is firmly on his list.

He is a full blown jackass pompous prick now. I bet he quit going to social functions because everybody with half a brain would avoid him and roll their eyes at him. Of course he probably then drives home alone talking to himself that all those people only have half a brain. Honestly, I really think this guy is in trapped in mental hell.

I normally would cringe at the idea of signing a 37 year old starter, but if I look at the projected 2022 roster I am very interested in getting Scherzer. Even if he regresses to be a little less dominant, he would be such a great fit. Veteran leader, total bulldog, gritty demeanor, ultimate competitor, fearless, knows how to pitch, knows how to trust his stuff. . . You can go on and on. You can at least imagine how this next crop of young pitchers could respond and elevate their game seeing first hand how this guy operates.

If only they could have Joe Biden fill us in it would all make sense.

He is on pace for 53 and I am really just hoping for 50+. I am dreaming of a season where he keeps pitching great and ends up with just the one loss, going like 12-1, an ERA well under 3 and the 50+ homers. A legitimately legendary season.

Where is that thread where some writer was saying there was no way Ohtani would pitch 100 innings even if he stays totally healthy? He is at 100 innings now with a quarter of the season left.

Olbermann was actually smart and entertaining until he became so permanently infatuated with his own intelligence. He became mentally hard wired to believe that he was so much smarter than everyone else in the world that there was longer any reason for humility and certainly others opinions CANNOT have any value because nobody is his intellectual equal. He became an intolerable blowhard. I’m sure he talks to himself every waking moment in fake conversations where he plays the role of the smart guy verbally defeating a dumb person. I can’t see him even being capable of being happy or having real honest relationships now. He is a pretty good example of how a very, very smart person can be wired in a way where their highly capable brain becomes their nemesis. It cost him everything. His vanity drove him to being completely irrelevant and forgotten. I literally forgot about Olbermann until I saw his name here. Imagine how his brain, if it ever had a moment of honest perspective, would process the fact that he made himself as irrelevant as the dumbest person in the world. Devastating, likely irreversible defeat, with nobody to blame but himself. Sad, but probably just.

One thing I notice is the disappearance of the word “racial” with “racist” taking its place all the times now. A racial comment (or a comment related to race) is not always a racist comment. The two words are not the same. Yet here we are where every comment related to race is automatically called racist. It’s a problem. We should all be able to evolved enough to clearly see the difference and increasingly nobody does. I don’t think there is any evidence (as far as what I know or have read so far) that his comment was “racist” but plenty of people default to that word since there is a racial element to it.

Wow. Sounds like you have some really juicy insider info on Morris because certainly it would outrageous to conclude someone is “a piece of crap” from one clumsy statement (one he apologized for). Please share all your info so we can join you in your super productive hate of a dude being clumsy talking about a baseball player.

Only a 10/10 (duh, trophies for everyone) is acceptable to prevent me from feeling justified in being offended.

It was meant to be stupid to make a point. But more importantly your rating is dehumanizing and I get to be offended by that, so you are required to complete some kind of dehumanize training. Its the only way.

Bias training? Sorry you lost me. He doesn’t need bias training. He needs someone to tell him (and they clearly did) he should not be so clumsy with his comedy efforts. If they HONESTLY believe he has an actual bias against Asians (therefore needing bias training), then they should just fire him for their conclusion that they have employed somebody who is literally biased against Asians. I don’t believe for a second they actually think he is biased. So the knee jerk garbage of sending him to bias training to merely to satisfy the people addicted to being offended is absurd. Send him to comedy training so he is better at not being clumsy or maybe just so much more effectively actually funny that everybody gets it’s was a joke.

Flippantly using the term “return” in such a mocking way is very offensive to people trying to repatriate to their original home countries. Shame on you. Further mentioning what is “working” versus not working is clearly dismissive to the unemployed. Again shame on you.

I can’t answer your question and I am not interested in the answers, mostly because I am not interested in finding ways to be offended. I don’t know how long it took for him to apologize. Once Morris apologized, it should be over. That is, unless you honestly believe in your heart that he thinks less of Asians and gets off making fun of them. I would need a mountain of additional evidence to think that, and I am not going looking for it. Apology accepted. Move on.
