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.

Just when I thought Yair was turning the tide, Volk crushes him; he’s incredible. I can’t wait to see him fight Topuria.

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.

That’s our two-time top-three CYA finisher. I love Ryu and can’t wait to see him back. What a boon it would be if he returns to form!

There’s time yet for a Montoyo sweep tonight. Let’s go Blue Jays!

An incredible breath of fresh air for this team. LFG!

Every once in a while I try to remind myself that this team is pretty good and I should appreciate that, even if I’m disappointed they’re not likely to win the division. Not to mention they still have a shot at winning the whole thing, or at least making a deep playoff run.

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!

Agreed. Bad for the Angels and bad for the sport.

Manoah completely exceeded my expectations for his return, I hope he’s turned it around. It would be amazing for the team to have a full rotation again.

Don’t look now but the Jays are tied with the Astros for the second wild card and have the head-to-head advantage against them.

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.

Is Cachoeira one of the dirtiest fighters competing today?

Maybe that’s what this year’s team is missing.

Full credit to Clement for stepping up in his absence, but I can’t wait till Bo’s back. Definitely, totally, certainly not stressful…

Barger has bounced back recently from an injury the cost him the month of May.

His strikeouts are up in AAA this year over last year at 25% but around where they were when he was flying through A+ and AA last year. I suspect he’s going to be a strikeout guy due to his approach.

Fortunately, his walk rate is above his own norms at 13% this year and that kind of eye should help balance out some strikeouts. The best news is that his power is back; since June 30, he’s hit 4/5 of his home runs and 8/12 of his doubles this season.

They’re also moving him around a bit. He’s played SS, 2B, 3B, and RF for Buffalo this year. This front office loves moving guys around and pursues versatility, so I’m not sure if they’re trying to find his best long-term positional fit or to make him a utility guy like Biggio, Espinal, and Merrifield have been.

The resurgence of Orelvis Martinez could be part of the reason they’re moving Barger around. Of course, it’s hard to find playing time for all those middle infielders in Buffalo too, so it could just be that.

It was kind of our friends in Houston to help us by sweeping the Rangers this week.

I’ll always love Ryu for what he brought to the team both as a pitcher and a prized free agent signing who helped change the franchise’s image.

Here’s hoping he makes a triumphant return to the rotation soon!

Kikuchi’s stuff is electric tonight! He reminds me of Robbie Ray in 2021.

A hard loss today. I was in attendance for the game they lost to Oakland at home, so that’s the second time this year I’ve watched the Jays lose 5-4 at home after the away team scored the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth off a pitcher named Jordan. At least I got a bobblehead this time!

Honestly, I’m worried about this team making the playoffs, let alone winning a series.

LHW feels cursed. Since November 2022 they’ve had Jiri’s injury, the Ankalaev-Blachowicz draw, and now Hill’s injury too.
