Counterpoint-teammate Eric Sogard is having a career year in virtually every category despite being a guy in funny glasses with facial hair.

I know this comment is a bit late, but even for someone like myself who doesn’t travel (and thus stay in hotels) very frequently, this is a phenomenal deal. I put everything on one credit card (paid off every pay day) to get free money, so spending $2000 in 3 months is child’s play. For no annual fee, that basically…

He can’t be replaced on the active roster, but when you’re sending your mop up guy out there to hit someone and you can effectively choose when to take the suspension, it’s not really a punishment. I’m willing to bet they appeal it and either drop the appeal tomorrow, for the series against a 39-win Seattle team, or…

Oh, you’re absolutely right, his suspension won’t hurt them at all. Again, that’s partly why he was the guy chosen to hit him, assuming it was intentional. As it is, he’s averaging coming in just about every third game (11 of 33 appearances came with no rest (twice) or 1 day’s rest (9)) with the rest coming with 2+…

Without the injury I don’t think anybody’s too upset about Marisnick’s play

He’s not a starter, though. He’s started 4 games, but only as an opener, never pitching more than 2 innings (or 2.2 in any of his other appearances). Looking at his appearances by inning/score, out of 33 appearances he’s only been brought into a game in the 7th inning or later 13 times, only 4 of them in a tied game…

Stroman’s response to Eckersley is what made that whole thing worth it.

Well you can’t just have less than one half of one percent of players being able to up and go to pursue an education at any school they want outside of the ones their current school doesn’t want them to go to!!!

They’ll still have to pay him, but in this case, his contract was only guaranteed for about $4.4MM in ‘19-’20. If they had waited to waive him, they would have owed him the full amount ($15.6MM). It will still count against the cap, but the CBA has a stretch provision which, when executed, allows the team to split up…

I’m pretty sure he said “it’s a breaking ball”. There may have also been an expletive in there, but I don’t feel like scrolling up to watch it again... yet.

This article is just a really long way of saying Trevor Rosenthal is now tied for the AL lead in ERA.

In a not so shocking turn of events, she didn’t say what the President tweeted was wrong, simply over the line. As in it’s perfectly acceptable that he feels that way and behaves in a manner befitting that belief, just not okay to tweet it. 

What makes Wolking’s defense even more mind boggling* is that (even if you’re willing to ignore that he literally screenshotted a tweet that says “go back”) the implied context of telling them to come back is that they went somewhere. They haven’t gone anywhere, so the only way for them to “come back” is to go first.…

The way that Jeep just kind of flips into the driveway, seemingly normally parked, is pretty amazing, too.

If it’s a thin crust pie, depending on the size, it should be folded and eaten almost whole. A slice from a thin crust <12" should get you all of D, C and at least half of B.

Yankees fans rent their garments.

Hey, if you like it, more power to you! I like sour stuff (obviously why I chose a Sour Patch Kid Slurpee to begin with), but that was just too much.

Also a professional DJ, he adds that he “has lost thousands of dollars in deposits after the video went viral.”

I had an orange Sour Patch Kids Slurpee the other day. Sounds great right? Terrible mistake. Unlike an actual Sour Patch Kid, the sourness never really gives way to the sweet, so it was like being stabbed in the salivary glands the entire time. And by the entire time, obviously I mean I drank the whole thing.

As unlikely as it is that I would ever come across one of these befouled products, I could not have picked a better time to start making ice cream at home.
