@BP2221077146446 @necky_fade Agree with all that but if they went back to balata and blades, persimmon it would have helped Tiger against the field back in his peak days. His ball striking, short game, putting and club head speed would have separated him further from the other players.

@SGSafran @necky_fade Because the technology; clubs and balls, have been better in the last 20 years. Also there are better travel options today than back in Jack's Era, where most pros traveled via cars.

1973 Masters Jack Nicklaus with a thunderous swing on the 13th tee. Apparently they’re better players nowadays and better athletes than they used to be, what a load of BS!

@paulloduca16 @Ben_Yoel I think it's a bit early to declare that Alvi "will never be an all star." He hit's 30 HR, bats .270+ and he's in that mix. Those are definitely possible numbers for him.

@Ben_Yoel I love Alvi…not remotely close? Wow Ben. When he hits over .300 3 times in his career and goes to ONE all-star game ( which will never happen ) and actually learns how to run a staff, come back to me man. He has potential but don’t go there.

Francisco Alvarez is the Mets best catcher since Mike Piazza and it’s not even remotely close.

@metsnewsletter What do you think, like J.D. gave him like a hand job and a pep talk at the same time? Let's get real here.

Mark Vientos had exactly two hits all spring training. Then the Mets hired J.D. Martinez and everything changed.

@metsnewsletter Hardly. Keep dreaming. Let's revisit this at the end of the season. (Most of us have already figured out Mets lost this trade big time but some people are slower than others.)

Mets won the Nimmo-Semien trade

@dkb12316528 @necky_fade Right. What's your handicap? Mine's been as low as a 2 and I've been playing for 30+ years. I know enough to know that Tiger hit shots nobody else could dream of and was #1 longer than anybody else....won more tournaments than anybody else too (82 tied with Snead).

@SGSafran @necky_fade Nope. You don’t know golf.

@LGMjad @BatyIsKing_ I gave up on him by the end of last season. He's declined for a while and is soon 36. That's it. Done.

@SGSafran @BatyIsKing_ How do you say you’ve given up on him after a week and then say talk in a few months

They gave up on him after 7 games btw

@Hunter___Bear @necky_fade No...he would not. The guy was light years ahead of everybody else. He'd still have the distance, the short game, the clutch putting, the attitude, the swag, the confidence. All of it. I don't like the guy personally but he was Jordan/Ali/Gretzky great.

@SGSafran @necky_fade By your rationale, Tiger would just be another player now too.

@Hunter___Bear @necky_fade There's really no way to know but the pool of golfers is much greater, with more money more international players, bigger guys, better athletes drawn to the sport because of money/popularity. It's all conjecture. I think Tiger was the greatest ever when at his best. Many do.

@SGSafran @necky_fade The point is if Jack came up in the same time as modern players with the Sam benefits of coaching, tech, training, nutrition, medicine, equipment, he’d be able to do the same things. Guys like him have intangibles that can’t be taught. An X-factor, a clutch gene.

@SteveSchmidtSES She's a rude, condescending moron who was gifted the position by Trump after kissing his ass. Now like all the other bimbo ass kissers she gets tossed under the bus. Does she have a shred of dignity? At least MTG fought back...an iota of respect for that.

"Don’t cry for Pam Bondi. She shed no tears for Alex Pretti and Renee Good. She shed no tears for the US Constitution that she helped light on fire.

@historigins Movies mattered back then. Cinema was already starting to die when the pandemic drove a stake through its heart. Hollywood is becoming irrelevant. People bought pandemic pups and now they sit home on their couch with them watching the Sopranos. Nobody cares about Oscars anymore

Oscars in the 1990s. The atmosphere was completely different.

@Suzierizzo1 He hires these totally unqualified bimbos who kiss up to him and then tosses them under the bus over and over again. Why anyone would have anything to do with Trump is beyond me. Only thing worse than being his enemy is being his so called "friend".

I don’t feel sorry for her do you? Yes or No 👇👇👇💙

@Brandon_Fuego @intelFromBrian He can't "have" Israel do anything. He doesn't own them or control them (and visa versa....that would be Putin's job)

@intelFromBrian I’ve been saying this from the start of this war, he’s going to either have Israel nuke Iran, or he’s going to do it. It’s the ONLY logical conclusion for a Trump/Hegseth combo. Bookmark this.

I expect Trump to do something very stupid in the next day or so.

@intelFromBrian Like rooting for the '27 Yankees. Of course he will.

@NUCLRGOLF Take clubs. Leave the.......(fill in the blank).

🐯⛳️🚗 #PRECIOUS CARGO — Watch as first responders smash the back window of Tiger Woods’ Range Rover to remove his golf clubs.

@NjTank99 And I wish my 21lb poodle mix could protect me like a Rottweiler. (Sent her for judo lessons and still, nothing...just rolls on her back and begs to be petted).

I wish Alvarez had the catching ability of Torrens or Torrens had he bat of Alvarez

@MLBStats He has a combination of the most diverse arsenal, spin, effortless velocity and command (most days) I've seen in a young pitcher. Most days looks like a veteran with a plan. He will be special if he doesn't get injured.

Nolan McLean through his first 9 MLB starts: 2.21 ERA, 65 Ks The only other pitchers to reach those marks since ER became an official statistic in 1913: Paul Skenes (2024) Orel Hershiser (1984) Jose DeLeon (1983) Fernando Valenzuela (1981)

@WardyNYM He had a bad day and still got a hit /drove in a run. He's a talented kid and can be a good player if they develop him properly. We have to develop these kinds of athletic, talented motivated kids. It takes time, patience and building confidence in them.

Baty producing before ending his rough day at the plate Cue Uncut Gems “this is how I win”

@dariusimperator @MustangMedicX I've been pulled over completely sober at a random checkpoint set up was asked to take a ridiculous field sobriety test (which I failed) then blew a 0 and let go. A cop later told me the test is designe so you WILL fail. It backs up the blow #. If you blow low you get let go.

@MustangMedicX do they not have access to breath test machines? i mean theyve only been standard practice for 40 years. these field sobriety tests are comical in how antequated they are compared to making him blow in a tube.

Tiger Woods got a raw deal. Could you pass this test? The Officer couldn’t remember the questions that she was asking Tiger. I don’t think many could remember all four questions while NOT under the influence.

@MustangMedicX When they pull you over the tests are designed so you will fail. If you blow a number it's all confirmed. If you blow 0 and have a clean UA or blood test you are free but the tests back up the blow#/bodily fluids to make prosecution easy.
