@Mike__McKenna Your team has 3 World Series championships since 2010 lol.

@rossjensen Love these options + Rainiel. I’d throw Franklin Arias in the mix also. If he continues like this at the plate, along with his defense….

[Three Putt Bogey @3_PuttBogie]

@practicalgolf This is very true. In my last 10 rounds I have 3 scores of 75 or better and 3 of 85 or worse.

He’d have to literally be the best person in history. @PFTCommenter @BarstoolBigCat

In 2023, Lars Nootbaar recounted his first time meeting Shohei Ohtani: “Look, I know you’ve read and heard a lot about Shohei by this point. You’ve seen him play. You know what he can do. You get it. I get it.⁠
⁠
But I’m here to tell you that Shohei Ohtani is an even better person than he is a baseball player. And I’ve never met anyone who is as comfortable in his own skin as Shohei. None of it is a show, either. You can absolutely tell.⁠
⁠
The first time I met him I was in the clubhouse, feeling a bit on my own — didn’t know anyone, didn’t speak the language, nerves all over the place. I’m fumbling around trying to put stuff away in my locker, and I turn around and … Shohei and Ippei are standing there looking at me. And I’m not too proud to say that I was starstruck right then. But Shohei, he just gives me this huge smile, and, in English, he says: ��Hey, Lars. How’s your family?’ It immediately put me at ease.⁠
⁠
And all throughout the tournament, he was just one of the boys. In Japan, age and respect are everything. But with Shohei, even though he was a little older than some of the players on that team, he was always telling us: ‘Treat me like I’m the same age as you! Talk to me as an equal!’ He was always wanting to just be one of the guys.⁠
⁠
So to be that talented, and then, at the same time, that humble and kind? It really was inspiring to me. I can’t say enough good things about him. And now, I’m so proud to call him my friend.” https://t.co/FVFD4OdQU5

Definitely not a better person than baseball player. He’d have to be literally the best person in the world….

@ForePlayPod This was back in April. It was a crazy putt from just off the back, straight downhill.

@FowlBallTalk You really have no idea what you’re talking about. That’s okay. Just stop creating narratives that don’t exist and presenting it as fact.

[Three Putt Bogey @3_PuttBogie]

@FowlBallTalk Not what happened at all. 1) his agent is from Arizona not the DR lol. 2) they’re well established and have done a number of significant deals. Gio (his agent) did Adames’ contract this last offseason.

[Three Putt Bogey @3_PuttBogie]

There needs to be an application process to have a podcast. This person knows nothing about what happened or the Orioles “targeting” small time agents. Basallo is with CAA. One of the largest and most respected groups in baseball.

[FowlBallTalk @FowlBallTalk]

This may be an unpopular opinion, and I’m okay that.

I wouldn’t give Elias too much credit….

Is it great he got it done ABSOLUTELY.

But……

It’s a typical Mike move.

Two small agents from the Dominican Republic who are trying to make a name for themselves and get that “first big deal”

It was probably a fairly easy agreement.

Wayyyyyy different than Scott Boras with Jackson/Gunnar/ Westburg.

Elias seat was HOT. His easiest target to silence the banter would be to target Sam and his agents.

That’s exactly what he did.

[Three Putt Bogey @3_PuttBogie]

@FowlBallTalk That’s not what happened. Basallos agent is with CAA and reps a ton of big name guys. He did Willy Adames’ deal this last offseason.
Agents can only do so much. At the end of the day it’s up to the kid.

This was a ton of fun! Thanks @brianpirrip!!

From pulling his rookie auto, to meeting up at his childhood card shop, Jeff Lyman is a total class act.

Is it possible to know how many HRs Barry Bonds would have had in Yankee Stadium as opposed to playing the majority of his games at Candelstick and AT&T/PacBell? @baseballsavant @fangraphs

[Three Putt Bogey @3_PuttBogie]

What a brutal auto pull 🤣😂. The milk carton is a great touch tho. Hope your next auto is much better!

How I build my personal collection! Let's start with 2006 Bowman Chrome 🔥

[Three Putt Bogey @3_PuttBogie]

@jakehoch313 Yes it does! Makes sense, he signed a ball for me and my daughter in Oakland last year. Thank you!

[Three Putt Bogey @3_PuttBogie]

Does anyone know who’s signature this is? I can’t figure it out! Google says Jonathan Lucroy but that’s not it. Any suggestions?

[Three Putt Bogey @3_PuttBogie]

@HotStoveintel They wouldn’t give him $7m. That implies a $70m breakeven which is aggressive. There are other companies that offer better hedging options too for players. Also, $6m his first time through arb?? Regardless It’s a bad extension for KC can’t imagine the PA is happy.

@ThirdRomeRising @nayibbukele You know Europe and the United States are in the same hemisphere right? Did you fail 3rd grade geography?
