If they were better, they would have won.

Name a World Series loser that was better than the champion.

If he was drunk too, I would choose Billy Martin.

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

Too many great ones to choose from 🤣

One fan’s opinion on what he thinks about every baseball team.

The next Jed Lowrie.

[Steve Gelbs @SteveGelbs]

The way Carlos Mendoza spoke about Jorge Polanco just now, it certainly sounds like there’s a real chance this bursitis won’t fully go away this season. The Mets are hoping to get him to a point where he can play through some discomfort, but if he can’t, it sounds like a longer shutdown could be on the table.

[John Pielli III @john_pielli]

I’d put DiMaggio in there somewhere. Probably bounce Mauer.

MJ Melendez has come out on deck to bat for Juan Soto.

[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.

Potential MLB Realignment by MLB on FOX

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

Damn. Tough week for the Bauer haters.

“He’s washed” -> no hitter
“Teammates hate him” -> endorsement from a first ballot hall of famer
“Velo isn’t there” - sits 95 touches 99 with 10ks

Sold out crowds. Sold out autograph sessions. Vlogs on fire. Life is good right now.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made this week special! Love you guys!

This wouldn’t happen if the WWE wasn’t promoting dozens of NXT wrestlers.

[EliteRockerz 𝕏 @EliteClubS0B]

There’s no such thing as a “WWE lifer” anymore.

They released Dolph Ziggler, tried to release R-Truth last year but it backfired, and now Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have left.

These are the kind of wrestlers you’d expect to retire in WWE.

WWE has never felt more soulless than it does right now.
