This is an interesting question. From Foot’s own neo-Aristotelian ethical naturalist perspective, I don’t think she would accept executing an innocent person.
Her account of the practical rationality of the Sudetenland farm boy who chose death over joining the Nazis seems to indicate her preference for avoiding participation in others’ evil acts.
Just as well, it seems to conflict with virtues such as courage (giving into fear of a riot), wisdom (abandoning the rule of law to placate a mob), justice (murdering an innocent person), and so on.
Here’s hoping Ward recovers quickly!
The Marlins bolstered their bullpen by acquiring closer David Robertson from the Mets for a pair of prospects, a source told MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. The club has not confirmed the trade, which was first reported by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. Robertson, who is a free agent after this season...
ANAHEIM – The Angels acquired RHP Lucas Giolito and RHP Reynaldo López from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Minor League LHP Ky Bush and C Edgar Quero. Giolito, 29, is in his eighth Major League season and seventh with the White Sox. In 21 starts this
Alek Manoah returned to the big-league mound for the first time in a little over a month Friday. He got ahead in counts, kept challenging hitters over the plate and put them away. As he pitched deeper into the game, some of his swagger returned, too.
If I recall correctly, the narrative going into this season was that Ohtani is tired of not making the playoffs. If that’s true, then you might be right that money alone won’t do it.
Obviously Ohtani knows more about the Angels than I do, but from my perspective it’s hard to see why he’d want to return. The franchise has floundered around two all-time great talents for years now. They’ve never even had a winning season with Ohtani.
What do you think?
It seems to me like they’re going to face a lot of backlash unless they extend him.
They can let one of the best players ever walk and get nothing in return, or they can trade him for a return that will feel insufficient and risk a strong contender, such as the Dodgers, extending him.
It’s a tough spot for the Angels.
Mike Trout will miss the next month, perhaps longer. The Angels were just swept by the Padres, the nadir of a nightmarish stretch in which they’ve lost 11 of 15. What does all of this mean for Shohei Ohtani's immediate future? Nothing. Few in the baseball industry see the Angels’
It never ceases to surprise me how fast some things can change in baseball. Bailey Ober, Pablo Lopez, and Joe Ryan are a fantastic core for the rotation.
Do you think they’ll look to re-sign or extend Gray or Maeda?
I’ve been thinking the same thing. I’d like to see the Twins add a good bat (or maybe two solid ones) at the deadline to make a good run at the division title.
It would be nice, I agree! The Mets are my NL team so I’d be delighted if the Polar Bear won again.
You love to see it! I’m happy for Twins fans.
Is that the team’s second CGSO this year? I think Joe Ryan had one too.
I’m hoping Vladdy wins a rematch against Alonso and the whole thing. I think that would make him and Vlad Sr. the only father-son duo to win the derby.
SAN DIEGO -- It was a Fourth of July to forget for the Angels. It started with Mike Trout getting diagnosed with a left hamate fracture that will keep him out four to eight weeks. Then Anthony Rendon left the game in the fourth inning with a left shin bruise
Alek Manoah, who was sent down June 6 after weekslong struggles to start 2023, will get the start against the Tigers on Friday.
Converge and Flamethrower are my favourites too.
The final refrain in Converge might be the most cathartic moment in any of their songs for me. And I know it’s been said a million times already, but Cavs’ drumming really stands out here.
I feel like I could gush about the album for hours!
He’ll yeah MFER!!! The train’s better for cranking hog!
