@JoeGoodberry @DPSOTS3 Honestly man, this is me. I'm proudly Puerto Rican and I enjoyed it. But I realize that the KNOW guys like us are gonna watch this game. They want others to tune in too. That makes sense!

[Keanu Mendez @keanukeychain]

@Jared_Carrabis As a non-reds fan I would recommend it. I have always enjoyed that stadium thoroughly.

This reflects on your friend group more than it reflects on the experience of being a parent. Being a parent is the greatest blessing the Lord has brought into our marriage other than my wife herself.

@DWStraka49 Rare disagree. As a baseball purist I don't really love the Bananas schtick. But my wife loves it and it gets her more interested in watching baseball. So I'm a fan

[Keanu Mendez @keanukeychain]

@mike_petriello @drivelinekyle A+ reply

[Keanu Mendez @keanukeychain]

This schtick is lazy. Recently two players have gone directly from Japan to LA. Others have gone BOS, CHI, LAA, even ATH. Even if it WERE true could you blame them for wanting A) play on the closer coast to home and B) play with the greatest icon their home country has even had?

@DrewGarrison ZT is still the same man

[Keanu Mendez @keanukeychain]

@thebengalorian Agreed. I'm mostly frustrated that this is gonna be the justification for making Zero changes.

Thanks to those who engaged this post. A few observations:

1. About half the disagreement comes from Eastern Orthodox, and the other from Roman Catholics. And Eastern Orthodoxy is extremely similar to others like Oriental Orthodoxy. This is telling. If you think the early church actually *does* look like just one church today, there simply is no clear winner. There is no way around this. And it's an intolerable burden to place on the private judgment of those discerning, given the alleged stakes of getting it wrong.

2. Being Protestant means you can be honest with the messiness of church history. You don't have to cherry-pick the data (whether pictures of much later frescoed or mosaicked interiors or quotes about later-developed practice or theology). You can acknowledge the massive sea-change of the 4th century (Constantine + Augustine), and how different the 2nd-3rd centuries are. For Protestants, church history is a fascinating trail you can follow wherever it leads, not a yard you have to protect from intruders.

3. The broader need is a way to distinguish what is essential vs. what is accidental in the church. For Protestants, what defines the church is simply the gospel of Jesus Christ, expressed in word and sacrament. Other external structures of the church, important as they are, are not essential. This is why we see the church as subsisting in multiple institutions, and why we can recognize the true church in expressions that look as diverse as 2nd century Alexandria, 7th century Britain, 17th century India, or contemporary Nigeria. Churches in these places can look vastly different, but they are all one church because they all have the one and same Jesus.

@TheWARmonger_ @PCA_IS_HIM Hey no worries, thanks for the update man! Love the content 🤙

[Keanu Mendez @keanukeychain]

@TheWARmonger_ respectfully requesting the catch probability for PCA on Andujar's 5th inning double just now (I know it won't be available till later just curious when it is)

[Keanu Mendez @keanukeychain]

@PCA_IS_HIM @TheWARmonger_ I completely agree. The fact that he was even in the vicinity was surprising to me, I just know that the TV angles can make it deceptive so it had me curious

I’ve watched this 50 times and it gets more unbelievable every time.

Not enough people talk about Vlad Guerrero

• .318/.379/.553 (.931 OPS, 140 OPS+)
• 2590 H, 477 2B, 449 HR, 1496 RBI
• 2004 AL MVP, 9x All-Star, 8x SS
• Never struck out 100x in a year
• On "Bad Ball Hitter" Rushmore
• Wore #27 for his entire career
• Had 200 hits 4x, 100 RBI 10x
• 34 HR, 118 RBI, 74 K per 162
• Tremendous arm in RF
• Tied with Kirby Puckett for highest career BA by a right-handed hitter since WW2
• Narrowly missed a 40/40 season in 2002, when he hit a ball over the fence in fair territory that was erroneously called foul and would have been overturned in the replay era; finished with 39/40
• 1 of 12 players in the Wild Card Era (1995 to present) to record multiple seasons with at least a .300 BA, 100 RBI, 10 SB, and fewer than 100 K; Guerrero leads the way with 7 such seasons, ahead of Gary Sheffield, Chipper Jones, and Barry Bonds, who are tied for second-most with 4 apiece
