I couldn’t say either way. I wouldn’t have taken Correa back anyway. Hated losing Bregman, but Paredes has done a fantastic job. I also would have kept Dubón, but that’s just me. Probably why I’m not in upper management. Lol Also, as a manager, all of my hitters have the green light on a 3-0 count.

Google search: Economists and political analysts generally do not consider the Trump administration's equity investments in private companies to be socialism, though critics and some conservatives characterize the actions as state capitalism, interventionism, or a form of "venture socialism". [1, 2, 3] Why It Is Not Traditionally Defined as Socialism Definition of Socialism: True socialism involves collective or government ownership and centralized control over the means of production, distribution, and pricing (as seen historically in state-run economies). [1, 2] Passive Stakes vs. Control: Administration officials, such as economic advisor Kevin Hassett, argue that acquiring minority shares or passive equity stakes (such as in Intel, MP Materials, or various CHIPS Act recipients) does not mean the government is running the companies or dictating day-to-day business operations. [1, 2, 3] National Security & Market Correction: Supporters—including pieces from the American Enterprise Institute—argue that taking strategic stakes or "golden shares" (such as with U.S. Steel) is a targeted intervention to protect critical supply chains and counter foreign market distortions, rather than replacing free-market capitalism. [1, 2, 3] Why Critics Call It Socialism or State Control Unprecedented Federal Ownership: The administration has expanded federal equity and quasi-equity holdings across dozens of private companies in sectors like tech, mining, and energy. [1, 2] Coercive Levers: Critics from both the left (such as commentators on MS NOW) and libertarian/conservative groups (such as the Cato Institute) argue that conditioning subsidies, permits, or government contracts on handing over equity or demanding leadership changes blurs the line between public and private sectors. [1, 2] State Capitalism: Many analysts classify the model as State Capitalism in America—a hybrid system where private enterprise remains intact, but the state actively picks winners, shapes capital allocation, and exerts political pressure on corporate boardrooms

Rumors have it that Paredes and Walker may be trade bait since Correa will be back. Me, I’d trade Correa.

Brewers 🧹

Georgia has some stupid players too.

Imagine that. The #1 team getting beat by an unranked.

It’s a team loss. Lost our best defensive player, but we weren’t stopping Florida with him in there. Manning makes terrible decisions in the backfield. With the talent we have on this team, it’s embarrassing to lose like that.

Well, that should do it. Baugh beat us last year. Thought Muschamp would make a difference. QB for Florida is playing very good.

Indiana 7-3 over OSU.

I’m glad we lost one. I hate the #1 tag unless it’s when the season is over. #2 QBs can surprise you sometimes. They get their shot.

I wouldn’t want that job nor could I do that job. McEnany and Leavitt were both world class. Best I can ever remember. I’ve seen others who were in over their heads, but we just had to grin and bear it.

That would be the “Suds” series. Lol

Well, I got my sweep!

I voted no. Too much hate and division.

Well, it’s fair to say that the Dodger’s games are now “must wins”. Maybe it’s me, but the Dodgers look to be playing very uninspired ball, which is ok because I’d love to see a sweep.
