caulfield12 Posted yesterday at 05:18 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:18 AM Carlton Fisk would like to have a word about that excessive jewelry... Not even Moncada and Anderson in their most flamboyant days come anywhere close to that look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course PCA wasn't around for the good old days at Wrigley with Harry Caray when Cubs' fans weren't exactly known for prioritizing the game itself.

MLB Mailbag: Giolito, Littell, Kopech, White Sox, Mets - MLB Trade Rumors Quote According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, “[Astros GM Dana] Brown has not hidden his desire to add an established, left-handed-hitting outfielder to the Astros’ otherwise unsettled group. Any potential return for [Isaac] Paredes is likely to include one. Brown acknowledged before the team’s workout on Friday that he is ‘still focused on left-handed bats,’ even after landing one in [Joey] Loperfido.” I suppose that could include Benintendi, but he’s a rough fit for a team that plans to use Yordan Alvarez mostly at DH. It’d actually have to be the White Sox including prospects to convince the Astros to take on some of Benintendi’s contract, but he’s not a good enough hitter for Houston to bother.

That said, it's not like Benintendi is playable in RF, either. And one year ago Cam Smith was a strong RoY candidate in RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might as well keep him for this season. If he has another dud year, hopefully they cut the cord early in 2027. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say 75-80% odds she does it better coming from a baseball for life family background. Something that's basically in your blood or not. Like fine art. opera or ballet for some.

Sure, in the 90's, there was the belief you had to study broadcasting/journalism at Syracuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
