I had a work conference one year where they had it in Phoenix in August. I tried stepping out for some air at like 6AM and it was like walking in an oven. Just miserable.

I've only been there during spring for bachelor parties and spring training. Awesome at that time of year. Can't imagine the summers.

Top of the draft has been a minefield the last 5-6 years. I was looking, there's a ton of busts in the top 3, and 1,1 as well. Roch seems to have as high of a floor as possible but man if he's just an avg regular that's gonna suck.

FYI Roch's debut is the MiLB free game of the day:

I’ve been really wrapped up today and only got a glimpse of Roch video - kid didn’t look comfortable at all.

Will be fun to watch him grow and adjust to challenges.

When police reports and investigations as well as state sponsors investigations come out on the side of truth - it’s really messed up when courts and media outlets toss them in the trash and just trust someone’s words.

Especially when you’re able to demonstrate an existing pattern of deception with malicious intent.

California family law courts and the NGO funded media outlets are garbage.

Are you OJ Simpson?

I’m not that bad 😆😆😆

Was very successful in 2010 tech space, made a horrible choice in who I married and had a son with, and she pulled every trick in the “destroy a man” book.

Pulled in multiple media syndicates, nonprofits, and a judge gave her everything she wanted on a new California definition in law.

My life has been a train wreck for the last ten years.

Yea, challenges I’m referring to are more so focused on using a wooden bat, facing better pitchers, and carrying the weight of being a number 1.1 pick.
