I don't regret it, I said it was stupid. My knee did a freak thing where it built muscle around the torn meniscus and ACL to compensate. After I had surgery, I blazed through rehab as if it was nothing - if I hadn't torn the meniscus as well, my therapist thinks it would have been a four month rehab. Also, I was the coach. I'm talking about collegiate club sports. You took a meatball position and said none of us know what it it's like to put ourselves out there for our teammates if we were standing up for Kopech.

Also, assuming he debuts this year: 12 rookie debuts. On a first place in the AL team. In year one of the contention window. Damn it feels good.

Ugh. Until he must have punted a black cat into a mirror under an open ladder, he was doing so well.

1 start. 3.1 innings.

Thoughts: 1) HOLY SHIT 2) The Sale comps are gonna fly 3) Sucks that he just missed the cutoff date in case he does well 4) HOT TAKE TIME

Greg with the boom hammer.

Multiple times I've had seizures and then returned to the field for my team a week later because we didn't have depth at my position to get by. One time a seizure gave me a strained oblique to the point that while running I had to hold my side while wincing in pain until I could come off the field for a substitute, because again, we didn't have positional depth to get by without me. Another time I suffered a torn meniscus and ACL and came back and played the rest of the game hobbled. We didn't realize it was torn, we thought it was a hyper extension. I actually didn't realize I had a torn ACL until halfway through the next year, which I then finished out before having surgery. I get the importance of my teammates. Note: The above are all very, very stupid things to do in hindsight

Oh I'm just taking the L on saying he has a newborn. He still has a child on the way, which is a legitimate reason for opting out, divorce or no.

Well, I'll take the L here.

Conveniently ignoring the fact that Kopech has a newborn child.

Sometimes, I think "Ron is ok." Today is not one of those days.

This thread has been blessed.

Yes, that's why I see Adam Dunn and James Shields mentioned ad nauseum. But forreal, let's partaaaay

I'm sorry you forgot "MAZARA AND EE SUCK" "FOCUS ON THE 2021 PLAYOFFS" and "WHAT ABOUT JAMES SHIELDS?"

Nah

He had COVID-19, he gets a pass for his offense this year.

To be fair, this World Series would be tight. Dane Dunning vs. Manny Machado is the angry, alliterative matchup the postseason demands.

Caulfield get in here.

Dislike.

Easy win

I know you're secretly an amazing GM or whatever, but I for one am glad that you're not the one deciding how long of a leash players get.

Nick Swisher was also an asshole who disrupted the entire clubhouse. Nothing indicates that Mazara is that.

Pain free pitches?
