He did. He built a dumpster and then set it on fire.

Good decision by the FO. He wasn’t going to be of use the rest of the season. He looked completely lost on the mound. If they couldn’t put him in AAA then there was no reason to hold onto him.

Anderson and Wright Plus 2 AA outfielders... Gee, i wonder what two outfielders those are.

At the start of the season he was asked what fans could expect when he was dialed in at the plate. He said when he’s at his best he hits with power to the opposite field.

Ooooh. “Greens” could be used to refer to environmentalists, and that may offend some people. Better to stay away from that one.

The chop is not actually racist. It IS a stereotype. However, it is intended to denote power and strength, and to attempt to build some sort of momentum for the team. It is not being used in a derogatory manner. It may be dumb, but it is more symbolic of the team’s momentum during a game...

Camargo may end up playing LF.

I don’t see why the players, managers, and owners can’t see how this nonsense is counterproductive to having a competetive entertainment business. You can’t needlessly risk losing exciting players over temper tantrums on the mound. Serious suspensions need to start being imposed. If not this...

That doesn’t characterize me at all. I think its stupid, cowardly, and bad for baseball to hit a batter just because that batter is doing well. If one follows that argument then the top hitter on every team will wind up injured simply because pitchers don’t want to deal with them. Baseball...

And what do you know about baseball? What do I? What do any of us? Is there a PHD in baseball out there? Come on man. Not saying that Smith is the final authority on anything. But it was an entertaining and thought provoking commemtary. Statements like “What does so and so know” are pretty...

Stephen A Smith just vehemently responded to Hernandez. Basically said players are paid to compete, not whimp out and hit batters because they don’t want to bother to try and get them out.

I have always thought hitting a batter simply because he hit a homerun was a cowardly act. I appreciate a lot of the old school mentality but that is one attribute of it that I will be happy to see disappear. If a hitter has been beating you repeatedly at the plate then get him out. Don’t...

I think things are gonna get ugly from here on out

That’s true. I forgot the DUI. He was also charged with under age drinking. I just found that ironic when his true age came out a few years later.

I remember Furcal being arrested for under age drinking when he was a “19 yr old” rookie. In reality he was 22. That backfired on him.
