And if you just keep firing people for accusations you run the risk of liability for unlawful termination. You're also kidding yourself if you think they are losing money if they play him until there is a judgement against him. He’s not suspended is he? He’d be on the exempt list which is purgatory and you still get paid I believe. And wrongful termination isn’t a thing in most states, most states are At-Will Employment. At least the big states anyways. But thats off topic really. Anyways, AB also committed (assuming AB is who we are talking about) assault in those texts which I’m sure the Patriot Lawyers told Bill. NFL can suspend him 8 games just for that. But they will put him on the exempt list pending the civil suit imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be....but based on what? The lack of interest in him during the offseason? One less than normal (for him) year with CHI? It cant be age. The guy's saved 346 games over 10 years....which isnt too shabby on either end. The number of saves or years he's been good enough to stay employed and be put out there when a game's on the line. I dont follow the guy close enough to know if he's lost it - maybe analytics has figured him out - dont know/cant say - but he saved 42 games just last year with BOS. 35 the year prior. If he's "lost it" w/o some kind of injury cause......it would be a tremendous drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh. A slugfest to ensue. Unfortunately, the NYY sluggers are either just returned from the IL or its hoped they will return before the playoffs. The race I want the NYY to win at this juncture is best overall record and home field throughout. We're a game behind HOU and tie goes to them. HOU - six games left - @ SEA (2) and @ LAA (4). NYY - five games left - @ TB (2) and @ TEX (3). Advantage: HOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sense you're trying to make a case for the Twins..which I can understand given what "non-entities" they've been on the baseball landscape Specifically - none. They end their season on the road.

The fact that the twins are in a race with the Yankees to hit the most home runs is pretty incredible, especially how hard it has been too hit home runs at Target field in the past. Of course that probably had a lot to do with the twins playing their home games there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know if they moved/raised any fences, but I suspect not. Last NYY/MN series in MN was hair raising. Nobody could get anybody out. Series that followed shortly thereafter in NY? Back to normal play by play. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
