I’m glad you were able to find a way to make this about you.

I just want to apologize for any insensitive material in my previous post. It was a long time ago – sixty, seventy seconds ago – saying some stupid stuff with friends. I know I’ve grown a lot since then. I think people that know me know that’s not the kind of person I am. In fact, many of my close friends are fags,…

I met my wife on a transatlantic private jet. It was 1974, inflation was high, fuel prices for the jet nearly bankrupted me, but I Was determined to see Japan. I parked the Rolls on the runway right outside of Houston and looked back on my oil empire. Things for most people weren’t good; for me, they were great. It…

I sat right by the visitors’ on-deck circle at Minute Maid Park the final time Ortiz came through with the Sox. He was heckled non-stop, and would just turn around a laugh, talk a little trash with the fans, then go hit a home run. Like many fans, I both love and hate that guy.

Your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Here’s my plan to fix this:

“Manny, Manny, he’s our man / He’s marching to Tenochtitlan! And when he meets Cuauhtemōc / He’ll kick him in the feathered rockemsockem gooooooHernan!”

Perhaps. Though the league average for OPS is .725, so he is pretty much exactly league average. And wRC+ has a baseline of 100 so 98 is right there, where a hot week will put him over. 99 OPS+. He’s still pretty much league average. Now maybe you want more production out of your DH, but in a vacuum his hitting…

Mike Trout looks like a demi-god, Paul Bunyan, maybe, or Gilgamesh. But Mookie Betts is 5'9, 170 lb. guy with a bald spot. He just doesn’t look like he should be able to hit like that. It was the same thing with Pedro Martinez.
