@JMackey_PGH Another example of Jason making excuses. Just stop.
English

Then Mickey Moniak pushes the Rockies in front with a three-run homer. Talk about making an adjustment.
Jason Mackey@JMackey_PGH
Weird one. Mitch Keller retires 12 straight to start. This inning, though, the Rockies had five consecutive hits before that putout, resulting in three runs and a tie game.

@milb_central @JMackey_PGH Jason doesn’t care about integrity anymore. He works for the team. He “had it first” according to him and the team.
English

@GsBruno13 @JMackey_PGH Keep carrying the water Jason. Credibility is suspect at best now. Too bad. You were a good reporter.

@ChrisMuellerPGH He’s like a QB that throws 25Td’s and throws 20 INT’s. He makes as many errors as he does positives.
English

He produced well above a 6.1 million dollar level, to be fair. He was the 98th-highest paid forward in the league last year.

@ThePoniExpress @ChrisMuellerPGH I’m in the minority here but I only want Malkin back if it’s 1 year 2.5 million. You pay him for what he is not what he was. He is a fringe 2nd/3rd line player. He is slower than he has ever been and doesn’t produce at a 6.1 million dollar level

@937theFan Nice acting. Content I guess but completely fake and staged.
English

Eighteen consecutive fastballs to start, 49 of 66 overall. Resulted in 15 whiffs, eight total strikeouts.
It was one heck of an outing for Bubba Chandler, plus WBC reflections from Spencer Horwitz in last night’s postgame file: mlb.com/pirates/news/b…

@MarkMaddenX @TribLIVE I was curious. Wondering if they can do the same breadth of coverage. I think the PG has an editorial staff of about 100.
English

Small. What’s your point?
The P-G may fold, &that’s very regrettable. Breaks my heart.
But that shouldn’t trigger minimizing @TribLIVE .
The Trib survived because everybody involved was smarter.
And still has a print edition every day!

@MarkMaddenX @TribLIVE Mark, do you know the size of the editorial staff there?

@BatDog007 @Top100Rick @Bad_Bad_Golf God I admire you. You are truly above everyone on the golf course.
English

@Top100Rick @Bad_Bad_Golf We should be walking much more. I laugh at guys in their 30’s riding & playing front tees when I’m walking & carrying my bag at 66. But I have slowed down it takes me about 1:35 to walk each 9 holes & the youg guys outdrive me occasionally.
English

Oh boy @Top100Rick thought an all riding course was good at some point
Wonder why that changed
Jim@Cackalacman
It wasn’t the right move. They sucked. Didn’t keep charge, broke down all the time and didn’t make rounds faster. They are not in use anymore.
English

@Top100Rick @cmcalister5 Golf snobs are way worse than guys who play 18 with a six pack and a cart. Just relax and let people enjoy the game. Good lord.
English

@cmcalister5 Yes many American courses sadly aren’t made to walk.

@Top100Rick Last time I played Oakmont…this summer—there were at least equal numbers of walkers and carts. Caddies drove the carts and players rode when they wanted. This is just such a silly hill to die on for a respected golf commentator.
English

@Top100Rick I e played Lahinch, St Andrews and Turnberry. Also Oakmont, Merion and Pine Valley. They all have carts. This is just you acting high and mighty and demeaning others. Good for you that you walk! Yay! Is that what you want?

How the golf cart destroyed American golf culture:
Disclaimer: I play in carts sometimes. This isn’t “You suck if you play in a golf cart”.
Public golf culture in the USA has a lot of problems. And imo the golf cart was what changed the game.
In the UK and Australia, golf is seen as a healthy social hobby. It’s a nature walk while hitting a golf ball and then a beer with friends afterwards.
In America, it’s mocked. A lazy man’s game. Driving around getting smashed. It’s slow and often tense. It’s like sitting in traffic.
How did the golf cart hurt the game?
Takes away the health benefits
Horrible for the turf
Makes expensive and ugly cart paths mandatory
Allows for more drinking, most don’t want to get drunk while walking
Takes away the natural high
Allows for bad golf course design
Almost all of the great private golf clubs in the USA are walking only or highly encourage walking. This isn’t a coincidence. Golf is simply a walking game. It’s better for all involved. (With exemption for the handicapped.)
As American golf evolves, thankfully we are seeing a move back to walking courses. The Park in Florida mandates walking in the mornings. Bandon Dunes and Sand Valley are walking only. And golfers are buying in!
I learned playing cart golf as an adult. Walking 18 holes seemed like a chore.
But once you start walking, you get it. And it becomes easier and easier and then becomes what you crave. The walk.
Yes in Texas or Florida summers, carts will be used. Yes at mountain and some desert courses they are needed.
But for a normal parkland course, we need to eschew the cart. It’s better for the game and for everyone who plays it.
For all the cart golfers, give it a try if your course is walkable. It’s better in all ways.

@Top100Rick Wrong. Totally wrong. It’s the players option at all of them. No medical check needed.
