  1. They pretty much have to add at least one bat to play LF/DH.
  2. Because you’re a fan. “Feel” is the key word in that sentence.
  3. Strong disagree. I thought it was delicious. It’s even better if you sub in a spicy breast for the regular.
  4. Well, no. The last thing he did was drown.
  5. Could you BE any more inappropriate?
  6. Wasn’t he like 20 pounds heavier last year when he broke his clavicle?
  7. Was there an 18 wheeler short yardage play for Peyton Manning?
  8. That wasn’t a statement, it was a question. And the response was, “Did you know that when Jews say “never again” they really are threatening Europe with nuclear destruction if Israel loses a war? ” And that’s not a lie-it’s literally there in that thread, from Linux.
  9. Even if you think that, it actually works for this role.
  10. And regardless, that was a catchable ball. That INT is on Sanders.
  11. Posts like this are so weirdly definitive. Even if you end up being right, it’s not based on anything other than wishful thinking at this point. There’s literally no evidence for your belief.
  12. Altuve is not going to be asking for a contract that lasts until he’s 45 years old. Come on.
  13. Even though he had a rough second half, Valdez was still 12th in MLB in WAR. He’s easily a #2. And I say that as someone who isn’t keen on extending him.
  14. That article literally states, "Once inside a Rose Bowl locker room, Brad quickly found that Colt had injured his right shoulder on a blindside hit by an Alabama player. His arm had gone numb. When Colt tried short passes in the locker room, it was as if he were throwing left-handed. Texas' team doctors said he shouldn't play, and everyone agreed but Colt." Maybe you should actually read what you're referencing. Stop trying to perpetuate a lie.
  15. Yep. The opening paragraph for hitters basically says it all: ”This section is usually a blow-by-blow of pinch-hitting selections. We’ll get to that, at least the few times that Houston used a pinch-hitter, but I’m going to tell you my complaints right at the start: Martín Maldonado played over Yainer Diaz a disturbing amount of the time, and Chas McCormick got shelved at the first sign of danger. I’ve spun those two decisions around in my head a lot while writing this, and I can’t get behind either of them.”
  16. I look at Eli Manning as the textbook example of this. He was too passive, too emotionless, not a leader, didn’t have “it.” Until he won a Super Bowl. Then the same pundits talked about how he was cool, calm, unflappable. Sane guy. Same demeanor. He didn’t change-it’s entirely result-driven, not predictive. I thought David Ash had the best concise take on leadership I’ve seen, remarkably insightful for a college kid: “"People say leadership is a lot of different things, but when it comes down to it, it is a really abstract term that has a different meaning to everyone. I think guys want to follow the guy who is going to put them in the endzone.” Anytime someone starts psychoanalyzing a player or talks about body language or “it,” you can pretty safely ignore their opinion.
  17. The Constitution forbids creating any titles of nobility.
  18. Worth noting that Everett was playing in an environment much more favorable to hitters. His highest wRC+ in a season was 81, 65 for his career. Peña is right at 100 for both seasons.
  19. A day here, a day there. It adds up.
