I believe false accusers should sometimes serve the very prison sentence/punishment they sought for their falsely accused victim. And that doesn't mean grey areas that sometimes need to be arbitrated. I'm talking set-ups, and outright liars.

You are right @OldSchool false accusations (Duke Lacrosse, etc.) jade society, and are toxic. Yet the accuser gets to run off after the bulk of the damage is already done. I have a wife, a daughter, granddaughter. To sober-minded people these are just common-sense things.

Ah, the "some say" fallacy argument. This is why most American media is not trusted anymore. You simply insert "Some say..." Into any narrative and you have free reign to pepper your audience with your own narrative. "Men" have no inherent virtue, or faults. Nor do women. Plenty of examples of a woman "making the rules" that have been disastrous. Stop with this nonsense.

As a man embarrassed to have a journalism degree, (a paper product I count alongside those in my home on a toilet paper roll. At least TP has usage) the industry has few heroes, and many shills.

Some say they are dopes. :sneaky:
Yeah I try to ignore him and you see why with his responses to me on the subject. Anybody trying to rationalize that false accusers don't hurt actual victims is just playing games. It's basic common sense but this guy has a long decorated history of just being contrary to me on any subject at all.

Bauer and this young lady are sexual deviants, using a polite term, and his only crime was trusting this young lady. She has shown her true colors and it's sad. Sad that she though her best course in life was to try to cheat and steal from this guy and to ruin his name instead of maybe fostering a relationship with what appeared to be a like person. And yeah there are many other sad examples other than the Duke lacrosse accuser and we don't even have to get into all the political ones. In the end he's ruined and she got nothing but her true colors exposed to the world.

Nonsense? Right! Men don't make the rules? LMFAO. I should have been clearer. White men make the rules.

I wonder what Shohei's pitch count will be? Can't imagine they'll let him go too long his first outing in a long time. It will be interesting to see what kind of stuff he has.

Nice to win the series against the Giants who were a hot team entering the series. Although their fans don't seem to be bothered by losing since they heard they acquired Rafael Devers in a trade. They seem to think he'll win the division for them. I guess their fans are as delusional as 49er fans. Makes sense since most of them are fans of both.

Sometimes I really wonder about Roberts pitching decisions.

Wrobleski had gone 4 great innings thru the 8th inning.

You only have a 3-1 lead.

He did his job.

But you go to another pitcher for the 9th inning.

Asking someone to go another inning and the 9th inning at that when you haven't pitch more than 3 or so innings recently is asking a lot.

Reminds me of Neidenfeur in the 85 playoffs. Lasorda should have gone with Reuss in the 9th inning.

Neidenfeur trying to go 4 innings in a playoff game is just too much.

I called that Jack Clark home run.

Edit - I actually passed the remaining two parts of the CPA exam because of that home run. I was so pissed that I dropped doing anything for the next few weeks before the exam and just studied my ass off.

Great series win.

Shildt is a total tool.
It is one thing to call out the Dodgers when they intentionally throw at someone but when it is clearly a mistake - what the hell.

Shildt is an idiot for calling out the Dodgers on that one.

I don't care if Tatis has been hit more times by the Dodgers. They know that they have to throw inside to him.

If he doesn't get out of the way of a pitch that is a bit inside, then that is on him.

I am glad Ohtani took the higher road when he got hit.

Edit - And Machado can shut the fuck up. He has always been a dick and I didn't care for him when he was a Dodger.

So glad he’s not a Dodger anymore. I was so sick of seeing him jog to 1st base. A couple of times there was a late or bad throw and he could have been safe.

Machado comes across as a me not we entitled millionaire. I'm glad he never got to enjoy the Dodgers championship.

That was crazy that the umps didn't stop the game on Muncy's at bat yesterday.

That rain was coming down hard.

For the infielders to not be able to see the ball on the pop up, that is just nuts.

The 3,000-strikeout club has grown by one, with Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers whiffing the Chicago White Sox's Vinny Capra in the sixth inning Wednesday at Dodger Stadium, becoming the 20th pitcher in baseball history to reach that milestone.

The 3K pitching club doesn't generate as much hullabaloo as its hitting counterpart, but it is more exclusive: Thirty-three players have reached 3,000 hits.


When you look at the list of pitchers with 3,000 strikeouts, and Kershaw's place on it, a few things jump out.

• None of them pitched at Ebbets Field, at least not in a regular-season game. I frame it like that to illustrate that this level of whiffery is a fairly recent phenomenon. The Dodgers bolted Brooklyn after the 1957 season, and at that point, Walter Johnson was the only member of the 3,000-strikeout club. A career Washington Senator, he never pitched against the Dodgers. Every other 3K member made his big league debut in 1959 or later. Half of them debuted in 1984 or later. Three of them (Kershaw, Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander) are active.

• For now, Kershaw has thrown the fewest career innings of any 3K member, though he's likely to eventually end up with more frames than Pedro Martinez.

• Kershaw has the highest winning percentage of the 20 (.697) and the best ERA+ (155), though his edges over Martinez (.685 and 154) are razor thin.

• Kershaw tops the list in average game score (61.9) and is tied for second (with Bob Gibson) for quality start percentage (68%), behind only Tom Seaver (70%).

• Kershaw lags behind in bWAR, at least among this group of current, future and should-be Hall of Famers with 77.1, ranking 16th.

So where does Kershaw really rank in the 3K club? I'm glad you asked.

First, what should be obvious from the above bullet points is that the response to the question will vary according to how you choose to answer it. The ranking below reflects not only how I chose to answer the question but how I'd like to see starting pitchers rated in general -- even today, in the wildly different context from the days of Walter Johnson.
