Rizzo is also my wife's favorite player, but it's because she thinks he's "cute." For some reason she doesn't think Bryant is "all that handsome." Perhaps this is why she has seen me naked and not vomited violently??

I think I was just still subconsciously salty because he won the social media personality award over Noah Syndergaard. quote:But the reaction for Kevin was "jesus christ..." Nathan Eovaldi is the dreamiest Ray, and no one can tell me otherwise.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:NBA stars are a lot more marketable because they're on the court without pads, hats, sunglasses, or helmets, so you can see their faces. LeBron is on the court for 78% of the game on average, and he's one of only 5 players on his team on the court, so he gets a LOT of screen time, as do the other superstars from their respective teams. A player like Trout is only up to bat once every 2-3 innings and is only on camera in the field when he needs to field a ball hit to center. If it's a sunny day (usually the case in Southern California) he's wearing a hat, eye black, and sunglasses, all of which obscure his face. It's a lot harder to market someone like that. Nascar guys are in cars with helmets on for entire races and they do a fine job marketing their stars. I dont even watch Nascar, but could probably spot a lot of them if they were in a crowd. MLB just needs to pump the ad budget, get a ton of young superstars together, and shill the gently caress out of them. Get Mike Trout on Conan or some late night show hitting dingers in a parkinglot. Get Andrew MccCutchen to prank his teammates with something dumb, then youtube it. The Red Bull Kris Bryant video has 5 million views. Get out there and get eyes on your stars, and hope that draws them to games.

Honestly the Jays have been doing a great job of highlighting the personalities for the last couple years, which is a big part of why Toronto fans have bought in so much. Osuna is not the most dynamic of guys but the fans love him.

There are tons of ads with drivers selling mayonnaise, beer, AARP memberships, and insurance.

So apparently David Price has forearm soreness, got an elbow MRI and is now going in for a second opinion. Sucks for him (maybe) but also eff tha sox (maybe) EDIT: Oh my, not just a second opinion, a second opinion from Dr James Andrews. https://twitter.com/PeteAbe/status/837314242957160449

Maybe it wasn't Prior, I remember hearing a lot about it with one of the guys in those Baker Cubs rotations.

Yeah all those "time saving" rule changes are doing absolutely nothing. Just implement the pitch clock and get it over with.
