prima facie whatever he's doing training wise has failed spectacularly. you can't thicken tendons from my research.

kid on the right looks to have pedro hands, jesus.

lol, I hit 68 mph in spring training a couple years ago. Fastest I was ever clocked was 77mph on a throw home from the OF in high school at a scouting camp. That was pretty good think it was the 3rd highest clocked from the OF at that camp. I played low level college ball but man I'd love to find a league where I live now that wasn't over $1K to join for hardball. Slow pitch softball just doesn't do it.

jabari has been out of shape since he was at simeon. He IS a butterball, for a pro athlete at least. He came into camp 20lbs overweight after signing a 20 million dollar deal. come on. and it's not genetics it's being at 20% body fat and loving to bulk up too much. I've been there myself. It's not good for your joints. great for showing off on the squat rack and bench. not so great for functional baseball athleticism.

that's fine and I agree but he should have used it as an opportunity to slim down and retool his body. instead he looks like he dirty bulked all winter and is maxing out his 1 rep deadlifts for a powerlifting competition. I'm sure he's got some high level trainers around him but IMO it's foolish to keep playing at this weight given his injury history.

hard to believe a guy with two torn achilles' will ever make it back even for a cup of coffee in MLB. it's also hard to believe a guy that would benefit immensely from slimming down decided to bulk up again this offseason. Is he training for the NFL? Just awful. He needed to drop into the 10% body fat range and instead he looks bulked up around 20%. Without the injury history who cares but putting an extra 30lbs of weight on his leg is just foolish.

can't lose if you don't play.

We need a dumb rating. Your post is dumb. At least a spoiler tag to hide shitty gifs. It's fucking February 6 you outta urine yet?

It's going to be the coldest stretch of weather here in a decade. Matches the temp of the FA market. FML. And we had 50s all fucking winter. Fuck this new wavy ass jet stream.

Fuck it lets go bowling.

This sport sucks. I say that as a huge baseball fan. It sucks. It absolutely sucks.

homeboy said he rolled his eyes so hard he went blind. what am I jesus? turn the other cheek? anyways self imposed ban coming for me. cya guys on the other side.

Well you're a moron. Do you understand the fundamentals of a union? Seniority matters as does solidarity. In fact, those are the only things that matter. Revenue was up and payrolls were down in 2018. The percentage of the pie going to the Union is down to 44%.

Meh. They are probably gathering material and making plans for the 2021 strike. Both have plenty of nest egg to fall back on. The low end union guys like Engel and such are the guys that should be shitting bricks. Hopefully they have planned for 2021 and possibly losing an entire year of paychecks.

As I said, if you're a Bulls fan you already know the atrophy, stagnation and absolute clown show operation that is that JR owned club. Why would it surprise anybody if the Sox fucked this up knowing who the owner is? Hahn hasn't shown jack shit in FA.

As they should be. This is bullshit. The entire process is fundamentally broken.

Hey, you should file their brief! Not bad.

It does if you believe in collusion. And if you observed last off-season and now this one I'm not sure how in any Bayesian style inductive analysis you wouldn't at least consider it.

I think it's pathetic and nobody should be excited because 2021 season is gonna we wiped out and the Sox are gonna lose a year in everybody's primes during peak roster -- AGAIN.

It's been a nice fucking winter here. We just got through a run of mid 50s and sun last week and weekend.

Yea but you ain't.

Meh. That shit is placebo effect and it has the same disclaimer all supplements do. Now a real disgrace is that swill he calls big hurt beer.

Yea, he should hand out glasses to the umps working his at bats. He lost about 10 points of OBP on absolute bullshit.

But why? Smith machine is a tool in the gym like any other with specific applications to training...what would be meathead and stupid is lifting too heavy on the Olympic rack and throwing his back out. It looks like Yoan did a major cut imo. Good. He had a RB's body last year. Don't think it helped him much.
