Seriously think there are better ways to stop playing. Seems unfair. Larry Bird did that all the time.

A great article with a lot of amusing quotes from players and executives. Here's a teaspoon full from the ocean of baseball malpractice described in the article:
Former pitchers describe Chicago’s game planning as almost rudimentary. Rather than provide individual plans for each hitter, the White Sox offer generalities such as, “Your sinker will play down in the zone” — an insufficient answer against, say, a lineup full of left-handed hitters who handle sinkers in that area. Minor league pitchers with high walk totals were told things like “work on your command,” with no other specifics, in the offseason.

The fact that Garrett Crochet performed as he did on a team that had absolutely no clue what they were doing is a very tantalyzing thing

Shohei just went 440 feet to the top deck in Miami for his 49th HR

Just wanted to pay tribute to Shohei Ohtani.
Its almost as if simply being an all star hitter and an all star pitcher at the same time isnt enough.
And because he couldn't pitch he had to become the charter member of the 50-50 club.
He is a joy to watch. With 2 steals, 3 HRs among 6 hits and 10 RBIs the only thing he narrowly missed was hitting fir the cycle when he got thrown out at 3b trying to stretch a double into a triple.
What happens next year? MVP, Cy Young, and Gold Glove (if a DH can win, that would be Ohtani, lol)
Dont know about the next 9 years but the Dodgers are sure getting their money's worth with this free agent signing.
He is truly a unicorn.

Ohtani has like a 92% steal percentage. Duran’s is like 82% or there about. Like not only does he have 50+ steals he’s almost never getting caught

He had more production in one night in Florida than the entire Red Sox offense over three nights in Florida.

If it does, I get to take the biggest victory lap this fan base has ever seen. If it doesn’t, I can hit anyone who tries to give me an I-told-you-so with a “wow, great insight Nostradamus. Really went out on a limb there.” It’s a win-win situation!

That's fun. He hasn't really been dominating the minors this year despite a great ERA. Lots of walks and flyballs in AA and not an insane amount of strikeouts. I'd still take him coming out of the pen in the 7th though I'm pretty sure.

I just looked at the numbers for Jose Iglesias. He`s had a nice little career so far. Looks like if he had been here the last 3 years, he could have been as good as what the Sox have been putting on the field. I always wanted to see him play SS for a full season. In the same way I wanted to see Pokey get the job. Love watching a slick fielding ball player.

The Pirates cut rowdy tellez 4 PAs short of a 200K bonus. Not like he was setting the world on fire but hard to really believe them when they claimed the bonus had nothing to do with it.
