Who’s the nicest MLB player you’ve ever had the chance to meet?

@TomD80106675 @goodson_erik @SleeperAth @Athletics I had not heard that she passed and your comment definitely makes sense. I just don’t see Fisher spending a BILLION of his own money. Just because he has it (now from Doris) doesn’t mean he’s going to part with it. Spending a billion to increase valuation by a billion won’t fly.

@goodson_erik @SleeperAth @Athletics Doris Fisher. Sadly, she passed away about a week ago. The matriarch of the Fisher family. Net worth? $1.7 billion. Heir? John Fisher. There is no funding gap.

A picture taken TODAY (via. @Athletics) of the progress on our NEW stadium, on the Las Vegas Strip 📍 It will include: • World-Class Hospitality • Ultimate Season Ticket Packages • Climate Control • 80% of seats inside the foul poles Oakland or Las Vegas - Which #Athletics ballpark do you prefer?

Maybe when the world wakes up and realizes there’s reportedly still an over $1 BILLION funding gap tied to the Las Vegas stadium project, Oakland should already be ten steps ahead. Aggressively pursue federal infrastructure grants NOW.
Build redevelopment momentum NOW.
Prepare the Coliseum area NOW.
Line up investors NOW. Oakland fans and the city itself did not fail baseball. Ownership failed Oakland. Oakland is a MAJOR LEAGUE CITY! ‼️

@gregkalvass @phares_tim @OaktownMojo @MLB @Athletics @Oakland @MLBNetwork Wally Haas & the A’s played a MAJOR role in the Giants deciding to stay in San Francisco & not leave for Tampa when they ceded the Giants the rights to San Jose, but the Giants reciprocating? Nope. Eff the Giants.

@shegone03 @Teacherman1986 When did Machado go HLP? I’m guessing he picked it up over the offseason since he’s been a high level hitter for a long time. I’ve never been a Machado fan so I wish he would have found HLP sooner! lol

The HLP Swing being taught by @Teacherman1986 and his minions is a long swing that most hitters will struggle with! It’s abundantly clear that Aaron Judge the HLP poster boy gets this pitch very deep in the strike zone and because of his incredible size and strength he’s able to drive it out to the opposite field. Aaron Judge is a UNICORN and only he can get away with being late and still hit the baseball this far! Your son probably can’t! Caleb Durbin can’t! Scott Kingery can’t! Kyren Paris can’t! Manny Machado can’t! The number of kids who can’t is endless folks! Don’t be the next victim of the HLP Virus! #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting @hittingguru7 @slider_sinker @SliderDom @low_and_outside @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @VandyonTigers @mikepiazza31 @SalMarinello @RVGDag @AMBS_Kernan

@OaklandRooted @Cpl_Oaktown End the antitrust exemption! This would result in a better, more fan friendly product. I would love to see what a baseball/USFL-like league would look like!

This is what happens when you build something for the fans. The Bananas get it… connection, fun, community. MLB chose the opposite: higher prices, worse access, zero accountability. This is exactly why we’re pushing back. If we care about the future of the game, we can’t just sit by and accept it. Join us today. Follow. Like. Share. Comment. Join the #FansFirstMovement today.

@Fansdepantallas Thought I’d see this in the thread, but since I didn’t I have to add it: The Mind of the Married Man

🧵 Series de HBO que casi nadie comenta ya… pero tienen notazas Si sientes que ya has visto “todo lo bueno” de HBO… este hilo es para ti. Hay series brutales que llevan años en la plataforma, con críticas espectaculares… y que hoy están completamente fuera del radar 👇

@CaseyWitt_ @DJSilva574029 @VitalVegas @AdvantagePlays @OaktownMojo @LastDiveBar @LastDiveBar are you guys still collecting trademarks?

@DJSilva574029 @VitalVegas @AdvantagePlays @OaktownMojo @LastDiveBar Interesting if true.

Interesting information from Las Vegas Buzz shared yesterday regarding the A’s naming situation. @VitalVegas @AdvantagePlays @OaktownMojo @LastDiveBar

Tyler Toffoli Graphite pencils and optimistic eraser I've been wanting to draw Tyler Toffoli for a while, he and Cat are such a great addition to the Sharks family! From sleepovers to podcasts and actual hockey, so happy to have them in the Sharks! #sjsharks #thefutureisteal

@_princesssnoopy I saw it here: x.com/playerstribune…

"i want that so bad here in san jose" it's so over

@vegaspilgrim @VitalVegas Solid video, but one thing he left out was as the A’s were gutted, Fisher and the A’s doubled ticket prices. Amazingly attendance went down.

@VitalVegas Someone agrees with You youtu.be/C0k3pCLO524

@LindaMH41 @SULLY10X @udreams30 Was going to post the same. The guy who was historically most at risk was denied by the Biden White House.

@SULLY10X @udreams30 Robert Kennedy requested S.S. Protection during his campaign and was denied!

Following Robert Kennedy’s victory speech for the California Democratic primary in June 1968, he was unexpectedly led to an exit through a kitchen pantry said to be a shortcut to reach a press room.   While shaking hands with the hotel staff, Kennedy was shot three times. He fell to the kitchen floor, where he remained conscious, and asked, “Is everyone OK?” RFK survived a 5 hour brain surgery to remove the bullet fragments, but succumbed to the injuries 20 hours later. The assassination led to an immediate expansion of Secret Service protection to include all major presidential candidates.

@OleTimeHardball This is a crazy list. I’m thinking more of the guys playing today. O’Neil Cruz, for instance, gets talked a lot about for his exit velocity and his arm but he doesn’t hit enough homers or for a high enough average to overlook his shortcomings, like his defense and lack of hustle.

Who is the most overrated player in MLB history 1, Harold Baines 2. Jack Morris 3. Yadier Molina 4. Ozzie Smith 5. Nolan Ryan 6. Derek Jeter 7. Pete Rose 8. Jim Rice 9. Dave Parker 10. Fernando Tatis Jr

@shegone03 @JimBowdenGM @Reds I’ve read that Billy Martin would bring in coaches that were that were close to hitting their 10 years so that they could earn their pension. Martin gets criticized for some of the things he did but that was pretty honorable. Do any managers do that today?

It’s not like I didn’t try. I spent 2002 in AAA trying to get back to the Big Leagues. After 6 weeks I was leading the International League in hitting but @JimBowdenGM never called me up to the @Reds He stuck with Juan Castro and Wilton Guerrero as utility players. By the end of the season my back was bothering me really bad. I had to have our strength coach adjust me 2 or 3 times a game just to be able to play. #shegone

@shegone03 @MLB @MiLB So many levels of suck can be attributed to Rob Manfred. I liked the pitch clock, but he had to reduce it further? Ghost runners are the worst and totally change the game. Just end the antitrust exemption and let other groups present a better product. More baseball > Less

Rob Manfred and the @MLB owners screwed the pooch when they decided to eliminate 40 plus @MiLB teams and cut the Amateur Draft to 20 rounds to save money! It’s very clear that the talent pool is diminished in professional baseball. There are way too many players in the MLB who clearly don’t belong! The “Show” used to be made up of the best players in the world who earned the right to be called Big Leaguers! Now it’s filled with guys with potential who are allowed to fail over and over and over because someone in the organization thinks they will figure it out! That’s what the minor leagues are for! If you can’t dominate in the minor leagues then you don’t belong in the “Show”. It shouldn’t matter where you were drafted or how much money they invested in you! If you suck you suck! #shegone @Angels @Yankees @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @SliderDominate @slider_sinker @low_and_outside @WesClements22 @roxbaseball26 @BLocsports @hittingguru7 @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @mikepiazza31 @ToddPratt07 @GreggOlson30 @VandyonTigers @SalMarinello @AMBS_Kernan

I am watching the St Mary’s vs Santa Clara baseball game & I realized this is something that can’t be seen in MLB unless it’s the playoffs. It’s in the 13th inning, 3 runs were scored by each team in the 12th and St Mary’s just scored 4 runs in the 13th. Such a fun game to watch!

#SJSharks would be a playoff team if the goal song didn’t immediately kill the momentum after every goal. #NotSorry

@VinnysCorner1 Ed Ott and Manny Sanguien!

Age yourself by naming an MLB Catcher you grew up watching….. I’ll start: Gary Carter
