Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.

@SmittyOnMLB i think it might actually be "he (tracy)"

Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey asked if he's OK with the way Brayan Bello acted after getting pulled from the game: “I’ve gotta talk to Trace on that, but I think he (Bello) understands that it’s the heat of moment and we’ve gotta operate with some grace. I mean, these guys are human beings. And they want to win and they want to compete. And I don’t think there’s any malice behind his frustrations."

EL JEFE!! Boston te ama

REAL 1

even hes like wtf i prefer cora... and thats sayin something lmao

first time im saying this.... FUCK bres

still in shock cora is gone 😔

in APRIL is CRAZY

never thought they would fire cora 🫨🫨🫨

this is CRAZY

@D_Smith314 @Schantzybach @theseaintjokesb lol i hear you, but if you contact swing with two strikes you strikeout less 😉 no denying the stuff is extremely better on a nightly basis. i just feel like if approach changed youd see more 280+ hitters. difference between 300 and 232 in a season is like 40 hits

These batting averages for top 10 hitters smh I grew up on guys hitting .300 and up I saw guys hit .350/.360/.370 I grew up watching gods man.. dudes hit at a high average AND hit Home Runs wtf

@Schantzybach @theseaintjokesb but can you admit that the hitting approach is totally different in todays game than it was say 15-20 years ago? its an all or nothing approach now vs lets make anything happen by putting the ball in play back then

@theseaintjokesb You clearly do not understand how insanely good pitching is today compared to any other era of baseball. Ty Cobb would be an 8-hole hitter out there for good defense and to move the runners over for the top of the lineup. Just untouchable stuff from pitchers today.

The word “Black” is a political statement for Black Americans. It is strongly attached to Black American culture, identity, experience, and history within the United States. In Latin American and in this case Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, the word “Negro” is just a briefly skin tone description. Most of the time, it is used as a term of endearment among family and friends with darker skin, and it ends there. There are no fixed identities or separate cultures attached to the word negro in these countries. That is why it is not used as a formal identity like Black Americans do with the “black” word. People don’t go around identifying themselves as “Negro,” just like they don’t go around identifying themselves as “Blanco.” If someone does that in Latin America, especially in DR or PR, people would find it weird or unnecessary. Dominicans and Puerto Ricans come from Catholic Roman Hispanic (Spanish) societies, where historically the worldview was shaped more around religion such as Catholic vs. non-Catholic rather than rigid racial categories. In contrast, the United States developed under a Protestant Anglo-Saxon framework, where society became structured more strictly around racial divisions such as White vs. Non-White. Because of this, race in the U.S. evolved into a central social and political identity, especially by the 1700s. In the 1960’s particularly during the Civil Rights era, Black Americans consolidated the word “Black” as a strong cultural and political identity tied to their specific historical experience in the United States. In Hispanic Caribbean societies like the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, identity developed differently. It is more fluid, shaped by a mix of Spanish, African, and Indigenous roots, along with shared language, culture, and Catholic traditions. Terms describing color exist, but they do not carry fixed identity, political meaning, or social structure as they do in the U.S. Because of these different historical paths, applying U.S. based racial identities directly onto Dominicans or Puerto Ricans does not reflect how people in those societies understand themselves. These are distinct cultural and historical experiences, formed over centuries (500+ years), and they do not align one to one with the identity frameworks developed in the United States. You’re trying to adopt and embrace a culture created within the experience and historical framework of the United States, especially by Black Americans, who shaped this Black identity about 60 years ago. You can’t impose a foreign (U.S.) identity onto people from different historical backgrounds, such as Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, whose identities were formed through their own distinct experiences. Dominicans in DR 🇩🇴👇
