Tyler O'Neill was a great signing.
Mike Elias says the risk of trading Grayson Rodriguez was worth the reward of outfield stability.
Taylor Ward “really fit us, and there weren’t a lot of big power right-handed guys on the market this year.”

My contracts professor told us that if we didn't know the answer to a client's question, be honest and say you need to do some research.
What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.

Most people, including this ignoramus, have no idea what insubordination actually is.
It's refusing a lawful order from some with authority to issue that order.
It's not merely doing something that someone doesn't like even if that person has or believes they have higher standing than you.

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question
