Look at Ray Ray Run

1. There's nothing weird about them shutting down a fake rumor by comparing it to Tacos. 2. Why do people continue to talk about this trade as if it's actually real and possible? Make it stop, SOXTALK. Make it stop!

I don't give much public financial advice, but I realistically see Tesla with a 1 trillion dollar market cap within the next 6-8 years. I am pretty heavily invested into Tesla though. I am a firm believer in not only the social move towards renewable, but also a big believer in the battery technology and loved him moving much of the production in house. With further growth in the Chinese market, and his contracts in Germany for driverless cabs, the expansion is coming fast. Efficiencies on the production side need to increase, but I'm invested into Tesla for the battery technology - not for cars.

What is bold about making up things on twitter and repeating it endlessly? People do this stuff for the attention; the attention that they're being given right now.

I'm like 99% sure this is another Soxtalk poster running this account

jajaaja love it that guy is a pretty funny troll.

Huge Valley fan, just not a great season. Salukis blow too, obviously.

And paxson right on que lol

Memphis is a ton of fun to watch. Since Russell left OKC and went with Harden, I was on the market for a new secondary team. With Ja joining Memphis, I decided to add them as my second team. Been a lot of fun.

Absolutely nothing. I don't even believe Paxson is done done.

What a down year for the MVC in general.

You're missing the point though. Again, Jay Williams had no legal grounds to stand on. The PA had no leverage - he violated his contract, and in turn he voided it. Now the Bulls surely had some motivation to negotiate based for PR reasons alone, but the Bulls could have cut him the day he got hurt and never paid him another dime and there would have been nothing the PA or the courts could do about it. The Bulls chose to not only place him on IR and pay him for the duration of that year, but they chose to give him 3 million for the remaining two years on his deal. There is no way to spin that negatively, and it was certainly loyalty showed by Jerry and basketball towards Jay. He was a bitter asshole after that for years.

Here's the literal quote defining that what the Bulls did was not required, and was well beyond what most would have done: Riding a motorcycle violates the standard NBA contract, and the Bulls could have terminated Williams' deal after the accident June 19. Instead, they put the No. 2 pick in the 2002 draft on injured reserve and continued to pay him. The Bulls not only paid him for the duration of that season - paying him his full pay - they then gave him an additional 3 million dollars during the off-season. The Bulls were loyal and took care of Jay Williams; regardless of how you want to portray Reinsdorf.

He owed him zero dollars; he violated the terms of the deal. The Bulls literally owed him nothing. They gave him millions. Insurance paid for nothing - insurance wouldn't cover a player who violated his contract. Insurance would only cover that player if that player was legally owed the money.

The audacity of this guy saying basketball knows no loyalty. Jerry pays the guy for his contract that he didn't owe due to Jay Williams violating the terms by riding the motorcycle... then 10 years later, Jay is ripping the Bulls publicly despite them taking care of him when they didn't have to.

As for your first point, we don't have that data at Birmingham so we can't really judge his swing and miss rates and etc.

I think his "hitch" has been greatly exaggerated. It is merely a timing mechanism and he really limited that movement towards the end of last year. Every player has a load/timing mechanism. When I speak of mechanical issues I'm discussing the swing plane, bat in zone time, and shoulder/hand positioning through the ball. A load/hitch really isn't a mechanical issue as much as it's a timing mechanism.

Enlighten me to his mechanical issues as a hitter.

How are you judging their contact rates? I hope not via K/BB rates given that Collins sees far more pitches and works deeper into the count.

In other news; Poor fucking Derrick. Jesus Christ how do the Lakers not trade for him? Derrick has been FANTASTIC this season - he can't play the big minutes, but he's a top 30 player in the league again when he's on the court. What a shame he's going to waste away in Detroit. On a rate basis, this is the best season of Derrick's career - his Per 36 numbers are absurd 25/8/3 on 50/32/85.

This front offices number one problem has always been properly valuing their own players; going on two decades, they have overvalued their own talent making trading them impossible. Then when they do trade someone, it's for personal reasons and they don't even get back proper value (see Jimmy).

Lauri isn't the future, regardless of who the head coach is. Every single player on the Bulls should be expendable.

Yeah, that "Mike Trout" growth, where the thing you learn and change the most is your approach and strike zone knowledge - learning to attack only what you can crush. Yoan made the first step of that change last year - he attacked pitches he could crush. The next step is now working counts and drawing walks to the level he did before. Once he combines the two, you're talking about an elite of the elite.

This would be a real easy way to make every team in baseball reluctant to deal with you. I imagine that Graterols shoulder has not shown up very rosey in his physical after issues with it last year.

Yet, I've literally never said it any other time but for this instance pertaining to Walker vs Mazara. All cases should be evaluated on an individual level.

The odds that Steele Walker has as many career plate appearances in the MLB as Mazara has had through his age 24 season is probably 10% or less.
