So that was 13.85 seconds to cover about 110 meters. But he ran a lot farther than that because of the route he took - if he ran a perfect circle around the bases it would be about 122 meters. He did it in baseball cleats on grass and hard dirt, from a standing start, after completing a swing that left him in bad…

That’s a really nice gesture, and something he can be way more proud of than his Marlins 2003 ring.

Moises Alou must be pissed. Also, he’s probably upset.

Beltre probably wouldn’t have signed a long-term deal during his last free-agent go-around if former commissioner Bud Selig had his way. Here’s the crux from Ken Rosenthal’s report:

It’s about heart and it’s about soul in the ballboy game. This kid clearly has both. A mission guy. You can either sit there with your hand on your balls or you can get out there and get that little white sphere god dammit. He’s got gumption; no doubt. Unlike some of the guys at the Y I know. All they want to do is…

Not a single “dong” in this post.

At first I thought this would be dumb. Because who puts th effort into the glottal stop required to properly pronounce “Kirk Cousins.”
