105mph heat, 3500 rpm spin rates, 550 ft HR's and 120 mph exit rates. Someone will die for sure but s*** yah I would watch that.

 

Some hyperbole there, but yeah. Keep the current rule changes too, that will keep the running game going.

Mental health issues are the hardest thing to come back from, it's a real struggle. Myself and a plethora of family deal with it.

 

If you, or anyone else on here ever needs someone to listen to them, or want to chat - message me.

Looked really bad when it happened. Thought he might have blown his knee up. This is a best case outcome for them.

Very true.

 

Maybe try to be a little nicer to others on here instead of always resulting to name calling and insults?

 

I'm serious, you never know what people are dealing with. No reason to hate on anyone on here. I don't think you really mean what you type sometimes.

 

I wish you the best with your struggle and hope you continue to make progress. It's definitely nothing to be ashamed of - anytime you need to talk about something we should be here for each other. I myself dealt with severe depression several years back and seem to have gotten through it. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

 

It's great to see the Dodgers doing what's right.

I digress, well said post. I'll never be ashamed of being me, I'm content in where I'm at, thanks.

So my older son's elementary school is doing an online auction this week to support extracurricular activities etc. One of the items is this below.

 

“A DAY WITH JOSE”

 

A private 2 Hour baseball training with former Oakland Athletics outfielder JOSE CANSECO for up to 4

kids. Location will be Sycamore Field in Danville. Each child will receive an official MLB signed baseball at

the end of the training.

 

OR

 

A round of golf with former Oakland Athletics outfielder JOSE CANSECO for up to 3 adults. Location will

be Chimera Golf Club Las Vegas. Green fees and cart rental fees included. Travel expenses excluded.

 

 

The online auction started today and ends in six days. So far the bid is at $1K USD.

 

I'm not bidding on this one.. I did bid on 4 Oakland A's tickets to any game except black out games. Planning to go when the Jays are in town.

He’s hoping the winner picks golf so he can get loaded on the course and not have to deal with kids

The first option seem like a terrible idea if kids are involved lol. Hoping the golf idea wins out

 

I guess whoever organized this is unaware of what Canseco is actually like??

I wonder if you get to golf with him (same cart) or it's you and a friend with him in a separate cart. If you get to cart with him I'd pick golf for sure. I can only imagine the stories you'd get from him lol.

You could probably get the same stories from him during option A too lol. I don’t know if he has a child filter

Kind of funny but probably true, she didn't really actually diss him as a total dead beat just that they blew the money then all had to work hard to make ends meet. No idea if she was estranged from her Dad all that time, or if they were all in it together trying to survive. Probably would make a great movie.

 

I recalled Jose doing weird things like playing in independent leagues, a boxing match, a car wash (I looked that one up) and writing his tell-alls. I assume most of that was because he needed the money.

His car wash is hilarious. The trolls come out of the woodwork when he posts about it. If you have Twitter, he's a guy to follow.

Vaughn Grissom, sent down is surprising to me.

 

I don't know the situation, but some thought it was to manipulate his service time and get another year out of him. I thought the new CBA somewhat eliminated that loophole, but maybe I'm wrong.

It seems like Atlanta is disgusted by his defense. They must not want a defensive liability at SS given the shape of their team. If he's not the starting SS, there is really no other position for him on the roster.

 

RIP Grissom buyers in fantasy.

 

I'm guessing he will start getting some CF/LF reps in the minors as that looks like their weakest position on the MLB team.
