Actually, Angel is terrible on the bases. I give any umpire some slack on balls/strikes, but the replay era has shown just how good most umps are on the bases. Expect Angel. When he is working a game on the bases, the initial reaction to any close call of his is to challenge it.

I expect Betances to go on the 10 day DL around the All Star break with a “dead arm”. He’s totally gassed right now.

Gotcha. I had the same experience with that ‘dialect’, and it convinced me that Brad Pitt is somehow underrated. I’ve never looked at an old blue Dodge minivan the same since.

We weren’t quoting, so I abstracted & implied.

The fact that his contract demands for the fight included an RV with very specific decor should be concerning.

As long as he stays in coaching, and not in broadcasting, I’m OK. Who thought putting a guy with no voice on the mike was a good idea?

How the fuck is “Jinesh Brahmbhatt” a white-guy name?

Dude needs to commit to the gimmick and sport a man-bun.

That was David Thompson, and it was super ugly. None of the guys on the court that day were gonna play in another one of those.

Oh, Ted would, and has a snappy Ivy League Debate Champ retort to it.

Once again, this sparkles when read in a Gilbert Gottfried voice.

Their most impressive accomplishment was keeping Darren Clarke sober & interested for the broadcast. It was a whole new side of him that we’ve never seen before.

Simpsons did it!

Hope Jerry is comfortable with his “perma-temp” employment status, and no bennies.

Well, the black man Stern spent the most time dealing with was Billy Hunter, a clueless crook who didn’t even know/care he was selling out the players. Stern kept him around much longer than his abilities warranted. So maybe the Commish is thinking about that with his “I’ve done more for POC...” line.

He was still playing soccer at 14, so you may be on to something there....

Super hard courses = 6 hour rounds. Lots of dead time.

That’s not so much a law as it is a cop with a monthly quota.

The real question Deadspin should be asking is how far can he punt a political football?
