One of my favorite things about baseball is HEARING that noise for an absolute no doubter HR, and not even having to wonder if it was going out, only how far it would go. That sound is a thing of beauty.

STOP BEATING HIM HE'S ALREADY DEAD!

Hold on, this the first Kumar Rocker connection I have seen... is that accurate?

NO ONE, except this guy, has talked about his politics in a year and a half. Once the games started, no one cared about that anymore. There was plenty of other idiotic stuff to keep people PLENTY busy. In fact the only people that still bring up politics are his apologists.

I believe it's spelled "fragile".

Following up on this, the Sox made a $3 million investment in Colson Montgomery. Can you imagine buying a 3 million house, but doing no maintenance or upkeep on it? Why do baseball teams do the same with their minor leaguers. Already having put $3 million into him, why wouldn't you spend say $10-20k more over the life of his MiLB experience to maximize his chances at being a superstar at the major league level, giving him every single advantage possible? It isn't about "pampering" or anything else other than protecting your investment.

Look gang, we all know the policy against attacks. I really don't want to suspend anybody for a nothing argument on this topic.

And all you need to do to pay for it is generate 1 decent player every few years from the extra to save you from free agency.

You would need a media with a spine for that.

Here's what I don't get. These are supposed to be world class athlete's. For the Olympics we put them up at multi-million dollar facilities where every single piece of their lives are managed to maximize their performances on the world stage in order so that when the few that survive go to the Olympics, they are taking every single advantage they can find to beat the rest of the world. For MLB we do this thing where if they can survive cool, but then we wonder why they have to relearn everything once they get to the majors. Why aren't any MLB owners seeing this as a competitive advantage to attract, maintain, train, and perfect every little advantage they can at the lowest levels, so that by the time they are major leaguers, they are miles ahead of their competition Diet, workouts, sleep, sleep patterns, education, etc are all small pieces that can generate potential gains. But no one seems to see this as a way to take advantage. Its so weird.

Jose Abreu OPS + by year. 2014-171 2015-135 2016-124 2017-141 2018-117 2019-118 2020-165 2021-124 2022-141 Weird definition of "one of the best", but sure slugger, keep swinging for the fences.

It is embarrassing to be consistently be on the wrong side of these things.

For the record, I would be ok with a 27 game winning streak.
