Pretty much because a lot of high fantasy is inspired by Tolkien's work. He was British, his settings invoked Britain.

So Birmingham tweeted out that La Pantera (the Panther) was coming to them. That's infinitely better than LuBob. Can we please get rid of the LuBob nickname?

Then lets not say that, because that's a very tired trope. There are American athletes who lie about their age - Shabazz Muhammad, Tom Shaw. International athletes who lie about their age tend to be little known prospects try to fib a bit to try and get a better life. Not the premier hitter for the Cuban national team ready for a massive payday.

If he's hitting the ball out at Regions Field, the entire division will need to buy dogs.

Wish granted

No offense, but I'm editing the title from "BREAKING" until this is verified by the team or a news outlet

On one hand: This is a layup for the Sox. Dude with 1-1 talent could fall to them at 3. On the other hand: He's falling because he's a high school player, they don't like those, so he may fall further. Take a shot.

I miss Herm.

Meanwhile, Taylor Varnell turns in another good start. Now he's got a 1.93 ERA, .079 WHIP, 33 strikeouts and 5 walks in 28 innings pitched. He's old for Low A, but he's killing it so far.

@Jose Abreu posted this link in another thread, but the Cubs are allegedly threatening reporters that are portraying piece of shit Addison Russell in a bad light. https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/04/28/report-cubs-privately-threatening-writers-who-criticize-addison-russell/?fbclid=IwAR2Huq3BdlRt3HIy1p-CzrDMAhbS6PWPAISjPCwn-mrbZs088F8MTKAgC4k

Nah, if Robert sees a meatball hanging on a 2-0 count, he should let it go so he can try and work a 2-1 count into a walk.

Delmonico took Eloy's spot.

I've never wanted for some classic MLB Draft stupidity more than this one.

Against KC he should have Southpaw come down to the field, jump on Southpaw's back and get a piggy back ride around the bases. Screw the Royals.

Technically, Timmy has been here before in this exact scenario.

Bring it.

Also, the Tigers pitcher's reaction was A+ gif worthy

Guys. HE DID THE NO NO FLIP

FLIP THAT BAT

When he started talking about not punting a lot, I lost it.

So does Jose get a HR...? Home run single?

What...the fuck?

I have a dog. She's great. Robert shouldn't be promoted yet. It should wait until around the draft. Paul Sullivan keeps writing that he should skip AA and go to AAA, which is an asinine recipe for failure. But his first bad game all season, coming back from a hand contusion, you have to come into the thread swinging because holy shit a baseball player had a subpar game. Not with the logjam, but yeah, it's context for why he'll probably be pushing a promotion come June.

I also hate fans trying to find something to enjoy in this dumpster fire of a season.
