@JeremyBranham @txnfanforlife To be fair, Correa is now 31 and has a reputation he can’t match any more. I just remember the off-balance missiles he used to throw. At his peak he was the finest defender in MLB, IMO.

@txnfanforlife @rva_rt Why would you include more than one year when players are their best defensively in their early to mid 20's and fade, on average, at that age?

What's wrong with Espada's lineup?

@JeremyBranham @txnfanforlife I doubt Allen is better than CC at shortstop. Those Platinum Gloves mean something.

@txnfanforlife Nick Allen is the best defensive SS in the organization, they want their best IF defense behind Burrows.

@JeremyBranham Where’s Vasquez?

It’s only April 13 and I’m ready to flush this season. I always look forward to baseball season so this is a massive disappointment.

Can’t we call it now and just keep Vazquez as the starting catcher?

@xGilroyx @FitWealthyU Yes. It does so much more than contribute to weight loss.

@FitWealthyU after seeing what its done for my blood work. i’ll probably take it forever. easily staying shredded is just a bonus

If you're taking a GLP weight loss drug, is your goal to eventually stop taking the drug, or are you okay with taking it for the rest of your life?

@fixtheglitchnow @FitWealthyU Agreed. There are so many benefits beyond weight control it makes perfect sense to stay on it, even if you hit your goal weight. Better kidneys, liver, heart, brain, etc..

@FitWealthyU The health benefits of long-term use seem entirely positive. Microdosing to keep inflammation down and weight steady is a good thing. The only downside is the cost.

@michaelschwab13 RS should have us at the top of the class, but RA keeps us in detention. We need some serious bullpen rework, both middle relief and closers.

Do you know how insane this run differential is? Hey look, expected record of 7-6

@HayesHolly2 Vasquez should be the starter. Even if his power isn’t as good, he’s still a solid catcher.

Diaz is 1 for 12

@JuliaMorales @longhorndave Plenty of Dude Wipes for them there. 😂

Asked Christian Vázquez and Jeremy Peña to take a pic with my phone of them in the visitors bullpen at Coors Field while I interviewed the manager. What I got:

@Scopuli @rorynotsorry I understand your point. These drugs allow people to go super low in their calorie intake, resulting in muscle wasting. They can certainly be used irresponsibly.

@rorynotsorry The only thing negative about GLP1s are that people who wouldn't diet responsibly are dieting irresponsibly with GLP1s, and then GLP1s get blamed.

Started blocking the worst of the anti-GLP1 crowd to clean up my timeline. If you do not like GLP1s, you are more than welcome in my comments with reasoned arguments: "I would like their to be more longer term studies, and I am concerned about the metabolic effect of retatrutide on peoples hearts" Hey, lets have a conversation. "You are dumb and lazy and fat people should have more dicipline" will get you blocked. Life's too short and there are to many smart and decent people on X that I would prefer to engage with.

@OrangeAlert3 @rorynotsorry Once it’s gone you realize how invasive it is.

@rorynotsorry I'm trying to find my maintenance dose after losing 40 lb. The return of 'food noise' makes me angry, more so than the thought of gaining weight back.

I'm on day 8 of not taking my GLP1 (out of laziness), and I just chowed down on a foot long subway sandwich. Time to break out the pen.

I knew it when Abreau came into the game…

@Metal_Crow The Genie has left the station. Their opinions truly don’t matter.

The anti GLP-1 people are the saddest new group to emerge. You can just see how badly they *want* to position themselves as wise, moral or virtuous for being against it... but there's just nothing in their corner. All the users I know are as happy with it as can be.

@kennyhaines32 @aubrey_huff He was also known for his fastball, but he had a devastating curveball that complemented the heat perfectly.

@rva_rt @aubrey_huff He had the best traditional stats when people cite dominating MLB stats most Ks, 7 no hitters, 12 1 hitters, but wasn’t the most dominant in terms of total pitching wins, ERA, ect. His control wasn’t good and he played for some really bad teams.

1. Barry Bonds 2. Shohei Ohtani 3. Willy Mays 4. Ted Williams 5. Hank Aaron 6. Alex Rodriguez 7. Micky Mantle 8. Jackie Robinson 9. Nolan Ryan 10. Pete Rose

@BenOndaTop Who’s shoulder?

A shoulder issue? That’s like the WORST news imaginable.

@jakedc6 They used to call that a screwball.

So is the wrong way slider just a slider grip with less RPM? This guy has this on top of being able to throw fastballs from 91-98 in the same inning Insane

@rorynotsorry If risk was only 2%, then 1.5x higher risk means it’s now 3%. Context matters.

I’m willing to wager that this osteoporosis is caused by the weight loss not GLP1s specifically.

The Astros were obviously jet lagged yesterday. This is their true form today.

@kennyhaines32 @aubrey_huff He was really good but not the most dominant pitcher ever. Not even close. Clemens was better with or without the juice. Ryan lasted a long time too, and that padded his stats a bit.

@aubrey_huff While Ryan is the most dominate pitcher of all time, he’s not the top pitcher. If you don’t take steroids into account Roger Clemens had a much better total career.
