Pretty good thread from Puig here: https://twitter.com/YasielPuig/status/1587945632890691584 Looks like he has finally received help for his mental health issues, and is thriving in Korea.

He's had a solid but not world-beating year there, .841 OPS and his team is currently down 2-3 in the Korean Series

Ok I just want to leave this here, because history needs to remember Honus Wagner. https://twitter.com/nut_history/status/1589433245338587136?s=20&t=KfuH81EM_q4ToNUhHUo62g Look at that motherfucker. He looks like he's made of wood.

Traxis posted:Pretty good thread from Puig here: Good for him. I always liked Puig; he was treated really poorly even though it was really clear he just needed support. I'm glad his current team gets it, but even happier he understands what the issue was. If he's doing well in KBO, there's probably no reason to come back to a league where the press is never going to forget the past.

Well there are the multiple accusations of sexual harassment against Puig including one case settled out of court so I'm not gonna jump on the Puig redemption bandwagon just yet.

Forrest on Fire posted:He probably should've signed with the Cardinals, he'd have the full support of the fanbase lol he's got the full support of the fanbase in Chicago, scroll down the replies of any of his tweets in this dumb saga and 99% are siding with him and dogpiling on the deadspin reporter for being a secret reverse racist who just wanted an excuse to pile on Stroman because he's black For what it's worth I don't think Stroman is an anti-semite, I think he's just a dipshit. He was similarly trying to argue that Kyrie was getting piled on by the media for a retweet because of his race vs white people who are overtly more racist and get a pass until it builds up to a nuclear level. Although even if I'm right it doesn't make any of his twitter meltdown okay, particularly since a component of it is him tacitly unleashing his fans and followers on a female journalist who had the audacity to ask him to clarify a post that could be taken as an anti-Jewish dog whistle with extreme ease. Sources for why I consider Marcus a dipshit: he is/was balls deep in crypto in general and NFT's in particular for an embarrassingly long amount of time, like as recently as this spring he was bragging online about his apes.

Stroman’s posts have always been of the fake-deep moron variety. He’s plainly stupid and for once that’s not my anti-Cub prejudice talking lol

The most charitable take is Stroman wasn't trying to be anti-Semitic but simply doesn't understand why what he said raises eye brows. His refusal to try to understand that and instead triple down on it is just dumb. Of course he could have fully well understood what he was saying but denied it when someone called him out. Either way it's bad and going after a female reporter and having all your Twitter followers do the same is Trevor Bauer level of Twitter stupid.

Most bigots are dumb and form their opinions from some misinformation they don’t have the critical thinking skills to see the flaws in and then stubbornly double down when’s one one says something instead of considering they might have been wrong. We should stop giving a pass to the ones who are just really good at something. Basically what separates “ignorant” from “bigot” is what you choose to do after someone points it out. These guys like Kyrie and Stro are making an informed choice.

Intruder posted:speaking of which did NFTs just like, go away? I haven't heard about NFTs in forever Like most scams it quickly bled through its pool of suckers. It also turns out something like 90% of NFT sales were fake and just the same couple crypto wallets shifting NFT's back and forth at insane values to make it look like they were worth way more than they actually were to try and lure more potential victims in. These days almost nobody is legitimately buying or selling NFT's for anything above absolutely negligible real money values. If you've got two hours to kill for whatever reason Folding Ideas put together what is the quintessential explanation of what Crypto/NFT's is and why what that is, is nothing but a massive ponzi scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g
