Around Baseball 2017

[jays_fever]

I honestly had no idea a MLB player even kneeled, nor had heard of Bruce Maxwell before today..and I'm a dork who participates in 30 team fantasy leagues. But sure some rando waiter in Alabama recognizes him in plain clothes.,

[G-Snarls]

wow, after a pretty nice run for a flawed team

 

Yeah seems they should have kept him through the upcoming anticipated good times

[KingKat]

Yeah I'm not buying Maxwell's story either. It just makes no sense. If the waiter really did recognize him I think he'd be more excited that he might get a good tip off a guy who makes some pretty good money rather than trying to make some political statement.

 

Geez this it the third time I've had to make the correction. It's not Maxwell's story. It originates from the guy Maxwell was with. All Maxwell said about it was a pretty ambiguous statement sent via text message: “I’m really over that happening and it’s BS.”

Of all the MLB managers fired so far this off season, those who have a chance of actually getting a job as manager in 2018, in descending order of likelihood:

 

1. Joe Girardi

Thanks for the clarification. But if he's not on board with his buddy's story than he can clarify it. Everyone and their mom thinks it's him who said it. If he disagrees he should probably pipe up otherwise it seems like he's adopted the story as his own.

[Dr. Dinger]

This one is a head scratcher. Girardi seems like the perfect fit for that team.

[Dr. Dinger]

The Jays should pursue Girardi as a backup catcher. Dude is jacked AF.

How did I ever miss this. Fans of grumpy cat should all click:

(.... 1 guy clicks LOL)

The story is that the waiter recognised him only after checking his id, that makes a lot more sense than recognising him by sight.

 

The waiter says he refused service because someone else in the party didn't have id on them.

[Bobthe4th]

Girardi fired too?!?!?!

 

I'm really surprised at that. The Yankees look to have a great future, but it's not like they were favourites to win the AL this year or anything, so they've not really underachieved.

Girardi to the Nats would be my guess

[G-Snarls]

Girardi to the Nats would be my guess

 

EXACTLY what I'm thinking

[BTS]

I was reading the last few pages wondering who the f*** Bruce Maxwell was. I had no idea there was a baseball player named Bruce Maxwell. There’s no way he was recognized by a waiter.

[BTS]

So is the Girardi firing the latest example of Randy Levine being an enormous piece of s***?

[KingKat]

This seems to be the straw that broke the Girardi's back:

[Spanky__99]

So we're to assume a random waiter in Alabama would recognize the backup catcher of the Oakland A's?

 

For me, that's the story right there, lol. 99% of waiters in Toronto wouldn't recognize Raffy Lopez.

 

They're from the same town, just saying. As KK said... the councillor made it public, not Maxwell.

[Spanky__99]

Girardi to the Nats would be my guess

 

Rumour is Jeter wants him in Miami.

[G-Snarls]

So is the Girardi firing the latest example of Randy Levine being an enormous piece of s***?

 

Maybe he should look into becoming an astronaut after all

[G-Snarls]

Rumour is Jeter wants him in Miami.

 

Ooo that would make sense too

 

But if I'm Girardi I'd probably rather manage the Nationals for the next few years

[Ray]

Oh god I really hope Dusty Baker somehow ends up on the Yankees. Can't wait to see him bat Chase Headley 1st and Aaron Judge 6th.

[Brownie19]

Ooo that would make sense too

 

But if I'm Girardi I'd probably rather manage the Nationals next year - that's it, until Harper leaves and they suck

Maxwell does bear a striking resemblance to Chief Wigum from the Simpsons

Here's Bruce Maxwell's account of the story:

Good thing KingKat went around correcting everyone.

[Bobthe4th]

Stroman and Pillar both Golden Glove finalists.

 

Stroman vs Sale and Cobb.

 

Pillar vs Cain and Buxton.

If you are from city/town most people know the athletes/famous people that are from there.

[P2F]

There's no way Buxton doesn't win that one. If he doesn't, something went really wrong.

Well, there you have it, lol.

Maybe limited playing time? I'd have to agree, though.
