@Cardinals this sounds like a pretty damn good deal. @peoriachiefs to @Sgf_Cardinals to @memphisredbirds. He wouldn’t block anyone in AAA being below, and WHEN he proves himself, and if the club is still winning like they are, you add a piece at the veteran minimum (incentivized)

[Trevor Bauer (トレバー・バウアー) @BauerOutage]

Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.

If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.

But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.

What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.

@Teacherman1986 HLP = Horrible Launch Position

[Chuck Gruber @CoachGruber28]

@Teacherman1986 OH MY GOD, YOU LYING HACK!!! For you to even suggest this bullshit is your biggest scam. Mark PREACHED knob to the ball, not your flailing back falling down bullshit.

[Ella Frei @EllaFrei17]

It's weird that adult teachers and staff are hating on me on social media. Teachers always say that everyone has the right to their own beliefs. I believe that too. I also think that facts are facts. Boys can't simply choose to become girls and expect to take away our rights.

[Chuck Gruber @CoachGruber28]

@brianmgardinerg @glenn_kinley No, for a couple reasons, 1. physically it’s easier to run forward, 2. he doesn’t mean 70% in front of the outfielders INTO the OF where it’s catchable. That also includes anything that’s an IF hit and any bloop type hit.

Women’s sports should be female ONLY.

[Chuck Gruber @CoachGruber28]

@FastbreakHoops5 NO, it’s an offensive foul. Of course if they don’t call that, then yes, it’s a travel.

[ICONS @icons_women]

Lost a national title to a man.

Spoke up.

Now facing a lifetime ban.

Women’s sports—and free speech—are on the line.

[Fryedaddy/Frito @shegone03]

I was criticized the other day for questioning why @MLB pitchers are throwing MAX effort in bullpen sessions this early in Spring Training.

Maybe I know a little more about this stuff than you social media experts huh?

Leo Mazzone is an expert on pitching and one of the best pitching coaches in MLB history and he agrees with me.

Retweet if you think Will Howard should be next up.

Like if you think our starting QB should be someone else other than Will Howard.

@steelers @steelernation @Steelersdepot @937theFan and the rest of Steeler Nation ... Some may not have liked the hire, some may hate it, but one thing is certain, Mike McCarthy IS our HC. Get on board, or don't, but the train is leaving the station. We Are Steeler Nation!!

[Trai Essex @TraiDay79]

The level of reverence that Coach T is garnering from former players, opposing players, media members and coaching peers is pretty damn awesome to see and hear. You don’t get to that level without doing many things consistently right. I know there is a significant portion of SteelerNation that couldn’t care less about that, and that’s fine. You got your wish. But this still feels super weird to me. I understand the football aspect of things hasn’t met expectations for some time now. But the leadership part was still elite. And in the NFL, where so many relationships are strictly transactional, we as players had something long lasting and personal with a coach who wanted more for you outside of what you did for him on the field. That just doesn’t happen often in the NFL. And we had that.

Thank You @CoachTomlin. You are 1 of 1.
