His 1971 MVP/Cy Young year was insane. And I believe he may be the last switch hitter to win the AL MVP (this was pre-dh).

I was on this stupid resort island in North Carolina for a fucking destination wedding a decade ago; it was for my partner’s college friends and was very much a bunch of very privileged Boston bros.

This is a bad take

It should have been you, Zack Hample.

It has to be a definite pause by rule. The “pause ever-so-briefly” that you describe is 100% a Balk even if some get away with it.

I thank you for your support, Doctor.

Reminds me about when I had sex for the first time. I was super stoked and told everyone about it. Turns out my brother had lied to me and sticking my dick in the sink drain isn’t what most people would call “sex”.

Think how upset you’d be if you bet on Wichita to win the game. Say if perhaps you were related to the manager and only ever bet on his team to win.

Coolest guy in the NFL.

Someone should tell Buck Farmer that money doesn’t grow on trees.

Oh and they’ve done this without Andrew Miller, Jason Kipnis, and Michael Brantley. Tyler Olson still hasn’t allowed a run this year. Tyler fucking Olson.

Sorry man. One day the Yankees’ ship will come in.

So that really is what this is all about- the A’s wanting to get out of that neighborhood. Trying to draw people who are too scared to go to the A’s home of the last 50+ years, all while pumping up their “Oakland pride.”

I think that this new location is just better in general. It is closer in on the BART. You can walk to the game after work, and there are places to get food around this area.
