“I’ll show him. In seven years, I’ll trade for him at the end of a long, pricey contract that he’s going to sign in the off-season. Then when he’s least expecting it...” [cackles like a wild horse whinnying]

Jeez, I don’t look at Deadspin for 10 hours or so and I miss the most exciting thing that’s happened around here since Manti Teo. Thanks for posting that screengrab!

I don’t even have to see the autoplay videos because I’ve fixed my browser. But I just locked my work computer and a notification is on the screensaver about the thing playing, with an option to pause.

Deadspin’s bosses, turn this ridiculous shit off, it’s not making you money and it’s pissing off all your readers…

I feel like “fuck autoplay videos” should just be the default signature to all Kinja comments.

Time for robo-umps.

STOP AUTO-PLAYING VIDEOS FOR FUCK’S SAKE

Excellent questions! The answer to both is “They were successfully maintaining a veneer of plausibility.”

I hate him, but Joey Bosa (#97) did an excellent job preventing a play from being run. 

Fixed! 

They should post another one that says: “I am a former social media account manager.”

Spanfucker and his cronies are jacking each other off on their cocaine cruise while draining G/O’s coffers with outrageous salaries. When they’ve finally milked it (and themselves) they’ll all buy new underwear and look for their next victim. These are vile, hateful, greedy people who don’t give a shit about anything…

All of this is going to get worse. I read Lindburgh & Sawchik’s MVP Machine this summer and my biggest takeaway is that teams are doing everything in their power to make marginal players good enough to replace more expensive players. The owners just don’t give a shit about the MLB rank and file and until the union…

Its that moment in Jurassic Park where Ian Malcolm tells them that they were so busy figuring out whether or not they could do something that they never stopped to wonder whether or not they should. There’s a complete lack of accountability in baseball (and perhaps professional sports in general). What can be done in…

Fans might take the game more seriously if it weren’t being called Snyder-Man: Homecoming

I’d like to start a petition.. if the Dolphins go 0-16 then we no longer have to witness the 1972 Dolphins celebrate when the last undefeated team losses... watching them celebrate is insufferable.  

Baseball is littered with players who were among the best of their generation who either choked often in the playoffs, or - more of these - rarely if ever made them.

These feel like the sorts of decisions that get a manager fired. Not saying it will happen (an NLCS appearance and then two straight World Series appearances is not unimpressive of a run), but man, when you Strasburg out of the game and get into *this* Nationals bullpen with a 3-1 lead, that’s a manager’s loss,…

well, his ERA+ is literally 2nd all time and 1st all time for Starters. So yes, you can

Did his dad abandon them in October? That would explain a lot.

There was an article in SI a few years ago about Kershaw. They kinda glossed over and poked a little bit of fun at what appear to be some pretty significant mental health issues that date back to his Dad abandoning he and his mom when he was a kid. I think he just completely comes apart under the pressure of the…
