Boy, you sure hate Puig. Actually sounds kinda racist tbh.

I'm not upset, just disappointed that you guys are so simple minded and easy to amuse.

Holy f*** man, change your diaper and cease s***ing yourself

Manfred is solving more important problems, like reducing game times by five minutes

You'd think Baltimorons would want to see a winning team in Camden Yards

Well, Andrew Cuomo is currently basking in media glory because all of his vulnerable population already died of Covid, so the number of cases and deaths are down, I could see him also nixing the Jays. I'm not really sure what the justification is for these governors.

I usually applaud things like this, but this post was pretty half assed. Replacing a couple of words here and there doesn't require a lot of effort or creativity. But at least you got the seals clapping, so congrats!

Hatch, yes, Kay no because he has already accrued service time.

Yeah, i love the scorned team angle.

Probably about 500% better than the Golden Knights. Cool logo too.

Ooooh I like this. I think they should adopt this full time.

Or maybe he isn't and was waiting on a better contract. No one knows. Puig was a poor Cuban kid with immense talent. Gets signed for millions of dollars as a young man in a free country. I think it's pretty reasonable to expect someone like that to become a bit of a douchebag. It's kind of like poor people winning the lottery. They don't know how to handle it. Puig obviously worked super hard to get to the majors, then got paid and I guess took his foot off the gas. He realizes that now and I'm honestly surprised he would admit openly about his laziness. That doesn't really seem like a guy who dodges responsibility. Obviously, in MLB, getting lazy is a death sentence. Puig recognizes that and is trying to overcome it. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised by guys like Max not recognizing Puig's difficult path through life. He regrets how he acted when he was younger. Should that stain his reputation for the rest of his life? The Dodgers hated him when he first came up and then started to drop off. We've all seen the video of JT chucking Puig's luggage in the street. We've also seen Puig and JT take the CN Tower edgewalk together when they were here. Whatever Puig was in his younger days, I am having a very hard time finding evidence that he's the same person now. People can grow. I mean, I think if Jose Fernandez (RIP) ever dropped off from his utterly elite form, people might be saying the same thing about him. Final point, even IF there's a small gap between him and Teoscar (which I disagree with, but let's roll with it) it's hard to deny that there is a sleeping giant in Puig that could be awakened, a late career resurgence. He's a genuine 5 tool player. Would anyone be shocked to see put up 4 WAR? Maybe, but you could buy it based on his obvious talent. Even if he never hits that, and stays as a 2-ish WAR player, that's still a massive improvement over Hernandez at a quite minimal cost. Teoscar is a terrific bench option on a good team, he can hit at an average level with power and cover all three OF positions reasonably ok, so I don't want to get rid of him. He's just very obviously not starting calibre.

I'd say a 15 wRC+ difference in projection isn't very similar but whatever.

That is one of the filthiest pitches ive ever seen

There was an episode 44 too, but I guess it wasn't posted. Find it on Spotify or YouTube or whatever. Nick even makes this show! (most of it) https://www.buzzsprout.com/200570/4681601-episode-45-baseball-returns-d.mp3?blob_id=18529454&download=false Hope y'all enjoy. Note on our current intro: Andrew decided to leave the podcast on his own accord some time ago due to losing intense interest in the sport. Linc has become a regular and we believe he adds another element to the podcast with his vast knowledge of the minor leagues and college baseball. We are in the process of changing our intro but also are looking to license some music but hitting snags. We apologize for it being out of date and the jokes are getting pretty stale by now, especially since none of the current hosts have contracted gonorrhea...I'll leave the rest to your own intuition. We promise to have something new fairly soon.

So there's this thing in baseball where we don't base expectations of future performance on one season.

Maybe he injured it while physically removing people from the weight room so he could skip rope

Yes, Spank, I believe that was his entire point.

It's quite simple, really. He's basically a 1.5-2 WAR upgrade on Hernandez, who sucks.

There should be, by all indications, a vaccine available by the end of this year or early next year. If that's the case, including improvements to therapeutics and more knowledge around the virus, we should be like 90% back to normal at least by next ST. Maybe best case scenario, but I think this will be the first and last situation of its kind for the foreseeable future.

Hooray for Dave Dumnbroski

This is depressing. The fact Puig has been just sitting there for nearly a full calendar year makes this even more egregious, imo.

I love how all this stuff comes out literally the day after we record.

Jokes aside, seems like a really good deal for LA.

I'm not very invested in this, but I believe the core of his lawsuit is that another member of NBC? Who is a gay man made similar comments as Roenick with no disciplinary action taken. A lot of people go on Barstool podcasts and kinda let their guards down because Barstool welcomes edgy content. I listened to Joe Buck on PMT and was shocked at some of the things he said, for example. I hated Roenick as a Flyer back in the day but I find his stories interesting and he really, to me, comes off as the Josh Donaldson of the NHL. NBC knew who he was and he didn't really say anything surprising for who he is.
