Being told by the fathers in my life that right field no longer carries the stigma of being the fat kid’s position in the modern game. I walked so they could run

JORGE POSADA: “I CAN’T WATCH TODAY’S BASEBALL.”
Yankees legend Jorge Posada, a 4-time World Series champion and one of the faces of the dynasty years, (The Core 4) did not hold back during his interview on Abriendo El Podcast.
Posada said today’s game has become too robotic, too obsessed with formulas, and too accepting of strikeouts.
“The baseball being played today is garbage,” Posada said.
He also pushed back hard on the analytics crowd trying to judge Derek Jeter’s defense strictly through modern numbers.
“You can’t judge Jeter through a computer.”
That line right there is pure old-school Yankees.
Posada came from an era where putting the ball in play mattered. Moving runners mattered. Taking pride in not striking out mattered. He said back then, striking out 100 times in a season felt like you were not doing your job.
Now? Guys can strike out constantly, hit 30 home runs, bat .202, and still get paid like stars.
His message was simple:
The game got smarter on paper, but dumber between the lines. #yankees #repbx
The Bucks are dead. Long live the Bucks.
Players come and go. The team is the thing that lasts. It's the deal every one of us signs up for, whether we know it or not. You get your window to be the man and you try to give the city everything you've got while you're there. Eventually though, somebody else comes along to take your place.
I came up in the league what guys like Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen meant to Milwaukee. Later on I got a little run of my own there, and down the road I watched younger guys like Brandon Jennings get their shot too. Now, I don't belong in the same breath as a lot of these names, especially not the one we're talking about today, but for the sake of making my point I'll include myself.
Every one of us mattered to Milwaukee for a stretch. And every one of us got moved, got old, or got left behind when the team decided it was time. No shame in it. The name on the front of the jersey will always outlive the name on the back.
What Giannis did in Milwaukee speaks for itself. He brought a title to a city that waited 50 years for one. Two MVPs. Defensive Player of the Year. He stuck around when plenty of guys his size would've pushed their way out a lot sooner, and he gave that place everything he had for more than ten years. One of the greatest to ever wear that incredible Bucks jersey.
But the page always turns. It turned on Kareem all those years ago, it turned on me and the fellas I played alongside, and now here it is turning on Giannis too.
It's just time, for both sides, to get the next chapter started.
Thank you, Giannis. For the championship, for the memories, and for repping Milwaukee the right way.
The Bucks are dead. Long live the Bucks.
NEWS: Mariners are going back to a piggyback pitching plan, with a significant alteration: Every starter will rotate through and have piggyback days through the All-Star break.
This was a “unanimous” decision with all six starters involved in the planning, Justin Hollander said.
Lot of new followers lately, so hey. I'm Michael Redd.
Some of you know me from a Final Four run at Ohio State almost 30(!) years ago, some from my stint with the Milwaukee Bucks (and Phoenix Suns), and some from my place on the 2008 Redeem Team. That said, many of you likely have no idea who I am, and that's cool too!
Since I retired from the NBA, I've been building. Ventures, investments, startups. Trying to find the next good idea and the people brave (crazy?) enough to build it. I've also been hanging with my family, been active in select charities and foundations, and been getting good (humbly, ha!) at golf.
Recently, I've been sharing sports takes on here and other platforms.
NBA, WNBA, college, some NFL and MLB. The welcome's been warmer than I expected and the internet clearly has a lot of hoops takes...and knowledge. Having a blast with it at the moment, honestly.
There's no real end goal or play in joining social after all these years. No agenda or item to sell. Ideally, I really just want to share what I know, tell some old stories, show love for the players out here doing it now and the OGs who did it before, and just talk ball with good people.
Glad you're here.
And if you made it through all of that writing and stream of thoughts, I think you might like it here, ha.
