Everyone can complain about Twitter as they wish, this is exactly why I enjoy this site and love living in a modern age where people you’d never meet but are super interesting share their thoughts freely to the world
@seanonolennon I’d never be mean to you, especially seeing you at this age!
My son is 3.5 years old- I’m guessing close to your age here. Seeing you & your dad reminds me of my stay-at-home dad/husband and the strong bond him & my son have. I love watching them around the house together 💜
Today my 3.5 year old son said “Alex wants to be a baseball player” & I have an idea where to begin
He’s always been interested in pitching, not batting- & doesn’t watch TV or movies, just sports or documentaries
Time to show him some of your videos on YouTube, @BauerOutage?
@MLBNow With the right player, it can be a huge win-win for both the player and the organization. It gives the player generational wealth & the organization a hedge on their bet long term. However, like BK said, “you have to know who you’re investing in”- intangibles included.
@MLBNow The Yankees and the Phillies are the most balanced and, right now, the best teams in baseball. Won’t be surprised to see them play each other in the World Series this year.
We are bigger, faster, stronger than we’ve ever been as humans. We have tech to aid in creating the most efficient movement patterns that generate maximum velocity. I believe we have hit our evolutionary cap as far as the force the human body can tolerate in regard to the torque we are able to create.
We know how to build the engines but it feels like the frame just can’t handle the horsepower.
There’s a lot more nuance to this aside from “guys just throw too hard” which we will discuss on Mondays newest episode of @baseballisdead_
It’s one of my favorite baseball facts about Stan the Man, the other that he was born in the same small town of Donara, PA and on the same date (November 21) as Ken Griffey Jr
We always talk about Stan Musial’s 1,815 hits at home and 1,815 hits on the road. But did you know he also had exactly 39 stolen bases at home and 39 on the road.
Not the kind of pick they were looking for...
On 6/22/04 the @Padres suspended 18 year-old Matt Bush, their #1 draft pick. Bush allegedly bit a bouncer who tried to remove him from a bar in Peoria, AZ. Bush was arrested on felony & misdemeanor charges.

Joc Pederson: “I think Pride Day is great. It’s about welcoming everyone. It’s like ‘love your neighbor.' ... I think the LGBTQ community is awesome, and I think everyone should be able to express themselves in whatever fashion you want. Whatever makes you happy.”
