Walk Off Wins

@franks151 @Andrew_FBB Man I was so invested in him thinking he was going to be a solid Dustin Pedoria type player. I’ve held this long I finally dropped him for Royce lol

@Walk_Off_Wins @Andrew_FBB Good call on Keaschall, and now he’s on the bench with Royce Lewis playing 2B

10 Biggest busts so far in #FantasyBaseball Kyle Tucker Fernando Tatis Jr. Austin Riley Geraldo Perdomo Jackson Merrill Framber Valdez George Springer Brent Rooker Bo Bichette Agustin Ramirez

@_MikeVA I been talking about it to myself he’s not even a pure hitter anymore

For a first round pick, Gunnar Henderson has been pretty blah.... Not getting talked about enough IMO.

@GUnit_81 Way too much effort for a first date. I was taking girls to steakhouses myself and it’s just not worth it in the end because 9 times out of 10 it doesn’t go anywhere. First date / Meet should be for coffee or a bar you know within the first 20 mins if it’s a fit or not.

The funny part is: she did hear my game breakdowns. Here’s the not safe for air version of my horrible date from last week: I booked a reservation for Barry’s at 8:00 and sent $200 for her to get her nails done. It’s a first date, I wanted to make it special. She doesn’t text me her address to pick her up until after 8:00…..and it was the wrong address. Took me to probably the most rough looking apartment complex I’d seen in Vegas, and that’s saying something. Hey actual address was 20 minutes away in a huge complex, and she didn’t know her building number, so it was another 30+ minutes on that goose chase. She never got her nails done and was essentially expecting to go to a steakhouse in a tank top two sizes too small and spandex shorts. So I reverse course to go to Herbs & Rye. We had a drink and everything was going fine…….until she essentially passes out at the table. She never told me she was on medication so mixing that with a drink leads to a disaster. After being almost unable to stand in the restaurant, I drive her home, and she sleeps in my care for about two and a half hours. I’m quite literally needing to check her pulse to see if I need to call the ER or not. While she slept it off, I was listening back to my podcasts since we are now past midnight to make sure they uploaded, and got a jump start on the groundwork for evaluating the offseason moves of the America East…..need to get those conference preview podcasts rolling. She finally wakes up, I make sure her relatives are at home, and on her way into her house, I felt something leak onto my shoes. Neither of us had a bottle of water in hand…..it was other fluids, I’ll leave it at that. I was even kind enough to give three separate chances to reschedule for date two to give a second chance, flaked on all three. So if you think you had a recent awful date, I hope this makes you feel better!

@GUnit_81 The royals was also pretty bad.

Blue Jays moneyline is one of the more rough beats I've had this season.

@GUnit_81 Hoffman is a roller coaster everytime he comes in.

@gxtvino @JesseRogersESPN Chris Davis contract single handily held the Orioles back for years which basically set forth the tanking. I bet the owner woulda loved to release him

@JesseRogersESPN Well duh no shit that’s why the owners want to change it. Until players can be released for underperforming I’ll be on the owners side. They take the risk of these deals and players have no accountability, Machado is a perfect example.

Spoke with Tarik Skubal today about the league's salary cap proposal. He's on the executive subcommittee: "It's not good for players. If you ask any other player in any other union, in the other major sports, they would agree, and they would want our CBA structure.”

@JohnnieD49 @Gmoneyri @BNightengale Exactly it’s the top 1% of the players it’s not even in favor of the majority of the players. It would be interesting to run the numbers and see if they even live up to the contract they sign for.

@Gmoneyri @BNightengale It’s a combination of both greedy owners and yes greedy players. Boras clients in particular are main issue demanding contracts that are beyond insane. Nobody wants a cap but some of these players need a serious reality check with their contract demands

MLB salary cap proposal from owners has players union fuming usatoday.com/story/sports/m…

@travissram @JoshChavis65 @TJStats The real crazy part of it all is that on the players side it only impacts 1% of the players the cap would help the majority.

@travissram @JoshChavis65 @TJStats I kind of agree a floor would be more detrimental. A hard cap has teams like the dodgers out of bidding wars year after year for the top free agent. Problem is the players lose out on making extra money by having more teams able to bid and the dodgers over bidding.

Reminder: MLB Owners are not your friends They are going to hammer home that a cap is what the fans want to even the playing field. Don’t let this fool you; these billionaires couldn’t care less about what you or I think. It’s all about maximizing profits. It always has been.

@YankeeClippah @TJStats That’s what I’m trying to wrap my head around if there is a floor or a cap you won’t see 10 year contracts. One Chris Davis contract can cripple a team for years. Why would you even sign pitchers long term with their injury history.

@TJStats If the cap is fair (this one isn’t) and it raises the minimum that has to be spent I don’t see the problem. In my opinion the biggest problem is the 10-13-15 year contacts that lock a team into debt. We’re looking for a balance both sides have room to budge on a lot of factors

@iamrahstradamus Few years younger… but I feel the same way about modern rap. I recycle the same stuff on my Spotify. Besides the mainstream Big - Jay, the mixtape era with Dipset D-Block desert storm Banks Cassidy Clipse. Couldn’t wait for tha Whoo Kid Big Mike Drama Green Lantern drop

I was in the boxing gym the other night hitting the heavy bag while listening to O.C Times Up, 2pac Pain & Beanie Sigel Die on repeat. At 40 years old I’m well past the age where I’m the target demographic for modern rap. And I’m an old 40, not a young 40 either lol. The first album I ever bought was NineteenNaughtyIII. I naturally gravitate to more aggressive rap because my introduction to rap was that.

I tried to cut the new Drake album on. I made it 5 songs before I had to cut it off. I'm washed, aged out of modern rap & have unc ears. I reserve judgement on it's quality but I knew going in it probably wouldn't be for me. However, I will say "Janice STFU" is incredible and stood out immediately. Going to try to listen again when I'm in a different state of mind. My mood has been a bit serious, probably a bit angry lately so it's hard for a Drake album to speak to my soul.

@AlexBam32 @Andrew_FBB I’m thinking the same thing. I wish he was doing better so I could unload him.

@Andrew_FBB Are we sure about Betts?

A player I'd be buying everywhere? Mookie Betts. A player I'd be selling everywhere? Connelly Early. Full list of players I am buying and selling in my Patreon!📈

@EricCrossMLB Now do Gunnar

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hasn't had an extra-base hit since April 28th. That's a 13-game streak. And in May, he's slashing .122/.196/.122.

@EricCrossMLB Offense has so many dead spots in it.

The Red Sox are scoring half a run per game less since firing Cora and other coaches. 3.90 RPG before 3.38 RPG since Can't fire the owners, but Craig Breslow needs to be fired. He's the architect behind this bad offense. Clean house. I'm tired of this crap.

@Coach_Yac these hitters are not made for Oracle. Adames used to hit oppo HR now he barely hits any. Same for Devers look at his spray chart prior to joining SF. Giants shoulda built their team on arms and contact and speed hitters.

Ken Rosenthal on the San Francisco Giants • Buster Posey grew frustrated with Patrick Bailey • The moves (Devers/Adames) absolutely made sense at the time • The Tony Vitello hiring will be questioned for some time • He doesn’t believe Tony Vitello has the credibility in his clubhouse that veteran managers would take by having conversations with players needing to step up • He likes that Buster isn’t afraid to take chances on signing or trading for big players

@_MikeVA Man, I’ve held on to Gunnar Henderson for the last three years I’m highly consider trading him while he still has ‘value’ I think the MVP season was fugazi…. Thoughts? Same with Mookie Betts (Father Time)
