Definitely makes a lot of sense with this added context. Ppl in the comments are losers
Glad she's getting help. I hope it works out for her because she's actually a very talented singer.

Maybe next year.
That’s awful. I’m glad she’s getting help.

That can be such a benefit to the team. Even if he just ends up being average to above in 2/3 aspects of the game (Pitching, Fielding, Hitting) it can be like having an extra roster spot.

Good on her for owning/handling it. Very tough stage/setting to have a wakeup call like that but glad to see she's seemingly going to address it
08SeaBass08
Maybe next year.
Solid list!
Pedro
Bill Lee
Pedroia
Eckersley
I’m definitely forgetting at least one or two.
Re. Schwarber - Loved Kyle from Waltham for the short time he was here and saw his ALCS bomb live against the Astros from RF, but it was too brief to put him on my list. Otherwise, I’m also adding Cabrera and other guys that came in for a pennant run left and right.
Nomar
Pedro
Pedroia
Beltre (was my fav hitter in baseball when he played, total lunatic)
Peavy (was my fav pitcher in baseball when he played, total lunatic)
Casas

Maybe next year.
Peavy is an absolutely great call. Super, super nice guy, too.
He bought the duck boat so he could get all of family on it for the parade. The Sox limited him to four seats, so he just said “eff it, I’m calling the company and just buying one,” which he then filled with everyone he personally wanted to share the day with him. It’s in in his backyard as part of a Wiffleball park, now.

Awful Announcing's 2024 local MLB broadcaster rankings
The reader-voted 2024 local MLB broadcaster rankings have arrived, grading all 30 teams across baseball to find the best and worst crews.

No. 1 Mets
No. 3 Padres (Orsillo)
No. 15 Red Sox
No. 22 Yankees
Certain players will still find a way to cry about this once it's implemented

But seriously it's gonna be pitchers complaining they're getting squeezed. I never care about an umpire who calls a strike on a ball that is like a fingernail outside the zone. In general I like umps who call strikes. A slightly bigger zone is fine with me. We want to watch hitters swing the bat not see how great their eyesight is.
McGarnagle

How do you show up loaded for the biggest performance of your career? Doesn't she have a road agent or manager or someone to be like "hey, don't drink that, you're on national TV in a half hour"?

A lot of people think that this is total BS and that's she's just trying to play the sympathy card.

1. You live by the sword, and you die by the sword. We poached him from TCU so I think its hypocritical to complain when your coached gets poached by another school. That said, when he was asked about the rumor the night before the Game 3 CWS final, he flat out lied and castigated the guy in the press who asked the question. I thought that was a bullshit thing to do.
2. I live in Chicago and haven't been to an A&M football game in 20 years. I also will not donate to any of our athletic programs, as I'm appalled by the amount of money they waste on hiring, extending and firing their football coaches (Jimbo Fisher) and the amount of NIL money they throw at recruits. I think college athletics in general, is a complete mess. That said, I love my school and I LOVE the Mike Elko hiring.
3. Yeah, they basically have been doing the same routine for 45+ years, but they do it well. Thanks for posting that video. I'm glad they finally started to mix things up a little! I was getting a little tired of listening to the Aggie War Hymn, the Strategic Air Command March and the theme from Patton.....My favorite is watching the Tuba guys, whip those things around when they change facing.

I'm definitely skeptical. I won't go out of my way to post on her instagram but I think skepticism is fair. With that said, it was so bad I am ultimately inclined to believe her.A lot of people think that this is total BS and that's she's just trying to play the sympathy card.
Quite possible. Who knows? All I'll say is that I never f***ing heard of her before last night, and I'm sure I'll quickly forget about her in around 48hrs. I hope she gets her shit together...A lot of people think that this is total BS and that's she's just trying to play the sympathy card.
I'll be on pins and needles waiting for her rehab tweets. I hope she has a super fun time....

I have a solution to this though. I love America but I have never understood the need to play the national anthem at a sporting event. I at least get it during international soccer tournaments where countries are playing each other. Not in MLB when there are a ton of foreign players involved. Same with NHL. Just seems unnecessary to me. Do they play the national anthem before broadway shows? Before concerts?
McGarnagle
Yes.

I'll never forget the time at the ASG that dude hijacked the Canadian national anthem to start singing about all lives mattering. Then the time Fergie butchered the anthem at the NBA ASG.
This one was up there.

that's pretty much how addictions work
pretty sad that people are that cynical about others.A lot of people think that this is total BS and that's she's just trying to play the sympathy card.
Apparently did not get the Seinfeld reference
That’s more like it
Bill Lee is one of my all-time favorite baseball personas. I still wear #37 to this day, in my senior baseball league. I'm a lefty pitcher and I live and die with my 2-seamer and my curveball, just like him......This clip is one of my absolute favorites, from Ken Burns' Baseball documentary. Its perfect.
For the record...... I don't have a good 4 seam fastball anymore, either.
