@ricsanchez They paid him based on what he already did, sure, because they are using that to project how he'll do going forward. It's not back pay. He only hit 40 once, so they shouldn't expect 40 every year, but they did expect him to be good and he hasn't been. There's no deflecting that

I had a friend whose dad worked for gas & electric & was always on call. If you called my friend's house, you had to call and let it ring twice, then hang up, wait 10 seconds and call back or nobody would answer. It was a code

Wait, before email existed… did people just leave work and nobody could contact them until the next day?

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opens up on his slump year: “They didn’t pay me to hit 40 every year. They paid me for what I already did.”

I want people to understand one thing. The money they gave me wasn’t for what I’m going to do. It was for what I already did. They didn’t pay me because I’m going to hit 40 every year. They paid me for what I already accomplished. People are confused about that, but I think the same way they do. Like, sometimes I even say to myself: bro, they gave you all that money and you’re out here doing nothing. I try.

You know how it is with fans, when you’re good, they’re with you 100%. But when you smell like shit, like we like to say here, nobody supports you.

The ones who support you are the ones who stay with you. Those are my fans. My family.

@purplephenom I couldn't break even on tickets, even when they are good. Lost like $100 on the last playoffs here. Check out the app 30 min before the next home kickoff. You'll find them very cheap

@DayDreamThis It also, kind of explains why she is seemingly better from near half court than when she is wide open at the line

Today we remember the heinous lengths that our government is willing to go to in order to rile the masses into supporting their overreaching security state...or something like that

So you are saying that PCA faced about 150 pitchers this year who would not be playing pro baseball in DiMaggio's day

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

Pete Crow-Armstrong has faced 28 teams and 286 pitchers in 22 stadiums so far this season, which isn't over yet

Joe DiMaggio faced 7 teams and 321 pitchers in 9 stadiums in his entire (regular season) career, which spanned 13 seasons between 1936-1951.

It's a different sport.

@GlennClarkRadio Worse apparently the Yankees weren't going to steal as long as the Red Sox were trying to hold him on. Boone apparently even tried to warn them - https://t.co/upMjgZZNiO

[That’s Baseball, Suzyn @Thats_BB_Suzyn]

Michael Kay with an interesting scoop that changes this entire story:

Jazz didn’t steal to pad his stats. Aaron Boone told him to steal, because it wasn’t a blowout yet. The Yankees were up by 6 runs at the time, and so there was still a chance they’d have to use Bednar in the 9th.

Kay: “Jazz walks to start the 8th inning.  As he's running down to first base, Boone shuts Jazz down, says he's not allowed to steal.  But then Boone sees that the Red Sox infield is playing behind Jazz.  So Boone yells to the Red Sox dugout, ‘No no no, you can't have it both ways.  You either hold him on and we won't run, or if you're gonna not hold him on, we are gonna run.’ Red Sox manager] Chad Tracy didn't react.  So the Red Sox first baseman still plays behind Jazz.  So Boone says, Go steal.  And Boone's reasoning is this: I am two batters away in the ninth inning from having to bring in David Bednar.  That run is important.  If you're gonna hold me on, then fine I won't run.  But you can't have it both ways.  I would not have Jazz steal if they were holding him on.  But I am not going to give up on a free run, which might stop me from bringing in Bednar."

Proximity to the meal ticket equals brand power that supersedes skill. Nearly everyone who comes into her orbit is trying to leverage her for a viral moment. I couldn't imagine...

I am in a league for baseball and football that started in 1991. For the first 10 years, a good portion of dues were spent on the software which included a stats disc Fed-Ex'd to the commissioner to upload scoring for the week. I'd keep score from the paper in the meantime

[DMICMedia @DmicMedia]

Yesterday someone said to me, I have been playing Fantasy Football a long time, my first league was in 2015. In my first home league the first rule was which newspaper was the newspaper of record because there were no online leagues yet.

@MikeyGilz Did you not watch Season 5?

[Thyrl @Thyrl]

@MostlyWNBA maybe because it's not true

[Thyrl @Thyrl]

@purplephenom I hear you, but City Connect is the only choice for an Alonso jersey. That 5 being a goofy upside down 2 makes 25 the perfect number
