Pinch-Hit Hero

I've loved every sky I've seen. He/him.

@KamalaHQLies @KamalaHQ That might mean something *if Vance didn't put forward the thought that people were celebrating it in the first place.*

Vance said something stupid, Rogan shot it down, and Vance agreed what he said was stupid. That's exactly what happened here, by his own admission.

@wkamaubell Dude is lucky he said it from across a table whilst on television. I'd argue his speech would classify as fighting words.

@CoreyRForrester I guess the thing I don't get about this one...Lopez didn't even say Mexicans would be the one stealing. He could have, but didn't.

Go visit a construction site anywhere in the US and see if something's been taken. You'll find theft's not limited to any particular demographic.

@brnt2470 I will forever be of the belief that the agent is the fall man for Freeman, who wanted to leave Atlanta but didn't want a McCann-like fallout with the fans.

Yeah, Casey Close got fired eventually, but he still got his piece of what is probably his last major contract.

@AFRO_THUNDER80 @CUBuffsFootball Should be enough to get Prime to Florida State, which is why he went to CU in the first place.

@xisdumbtwittah @LaurenMichelson @KETV Not really. Cignetti brought over 13 JMU players, mostly starters.

A significant chunk of the people starting at Indiana have already been playing together, under Cignetti, for a few years.

What they're doing is incredibly impressive, but it's not exactly their first rodeo.

@Rhinoceros200 @mudeoknugu @decayed_diorite @MichaelPruser Was there any benefit to registering Democrat? Not really, as the presidential and Senate candidates were essentially decided by having incumbents filling those roles.

The same wasn't true for Republicans, as both candidates were decided via primary.

Indies probably going Dem.

@jakeanderson884 @RumorsandRants Well, I was a drunk. So there's that.

But the Beatrice Daily Sun is now like two to five people in a small office instead of an entire company comprised of many departments with their own printing press in their own building. So there's that.

[Pinch-Hit Hero @PinchHitHero]

@jakeanderson884 @RumorsandRants In the end, all I want is for these franchises to pay their people, treat them well, and give customers the best product their money can afford.

Stop cheering against the orgs that do this and for the ones that don't.

[Pinch-Hit Hero @PinchHitHero]

@jakeanderson884 @RumorsandRants There are just so many franchises, in MLB in particular, that are claiming poverty while pulling in literally hundreds of millions of dollars in baseball welfare.

And they want free downtown stadiums to boot, while giving fans little to cheer for.

[Pinch-Hit Hero @PinchHitHero]

@joe_sheehan Every MLB team gets $200m (approximately half from national broadcast rights, half from profit sharing) just for being an MLB team.

I've decided the evil empires are now those who spend less than that.

[Pinch-Hit Hero @PinchHitHero]

@RumorsandRants I don't buy a video game because a studio pays their developers the least money any more than I support fast food restaurants for underpaying their personnel.

The evil empire narrative in sports is antiquated in its current form and is desperately in need of an update.

[Pinch-Hit Hero @PinchHitHero]

@RumorsandRants You're free to have your opinion. I'm free to suggest an alternative: evolve your way of thinking.

The "evil empire" stuff is just BS now. Every single MLB team starts with $200m in revenue simply for being an MLB team.

The evil empires are the ones spending less than that.

[Pinch-Hit Hero @PinchHitHero]

@stuballew @keithlaw I've grown apathetic to the lament of "evil empires."

Every team is getting roughly $100m in national broadcast revenues. 48% of local revenues are shared, meaning each team is hitting $200m+ revenue just for being an MLB team.

Every team can compete for any given player.

@FFB_Fanatics @RapSheet This is a fun lie. His contract is fully guaranteed, even in the event of suspension by the league. This clause is make believe.

[Pinch-Hit Hero @PinchHitHero]

@scottcoleman55 Mountain time best time.

@JDunnah Seeing the Northern Lights is a bucket list item of mine, probably going to have to be on an Iceland trip.

Very nice, get home safe.
