This is fascinating. I always wondered by MLB players and coaches are so mad when their teammates don’t run hard to first on routine groundouts, like the one that fucked up Bryce Harper’s knee last year. Only certain players (like David Ortiz, whose feet were pus-filled stumps by the end of his career) seem to get a…

Counterpoint: From a fan perspective, balls in play are interesting. Most K’s and HRs are boring. (After the 9th K in a game they start getting interesting). I want to see high BABIPs, athletic fielding, good baseball stuff.

Exactly. You get the good with the bad with Judge and Stanton. I’d take slap hitters every time.

What’s the big deal? This happens all the time... in Little League.

You’re not saying it, but I will. They are evil for collaborating (“just following orders”). Maybe their paycheck is worth being evil, but fuck them if they want to claim to be professionals or journalists. I have zero sympathy for Sinclair’s editorial and on-air “talent.”

You were trying to do the right thing. Maybe ask about the local preference if you don’t see a pile of shoes near the door. Where I live, there are so many Asian-influenced families that shoes off is the norm. I tried to wear good socks when I go to anyone’s house.

“You do what you gotta do to get the job done, man”

Blue-19! Blue-19! Omaha! Right?

Manny has made it known he wants to play SS, so it’s Didi that’s getting shade, right?

Let NL pitchers hit off a tee? I like it.

Unless it’s Max Scherzer. I love watching him glare, pace around, and do other non-pitching shit.

So I hate the idea, but maybe have the team’s pitcher, their fattest roster player, or the team’s mascot be the free runner on second and I’d reconsider.

This is what I came here to say. Cap the game at 11 innings and have ties. Ties are good.

This is Bloody Sock good.

“Markelle Fultz’s entire NBA career” lol.

Counterpoint: don’t do this. I stored bags in rental car in Portugal and somebody must have seen me because they stole them right out of the trunk as soon as I left the car. Then I had two problems: the stuff was gone and the car was damaged.

Close, but more like this:
