The Astros don't have anyone particularly handsome or particularly ugly. How boring. I guess either Reddick or Springer for most handsome and... I don't know, Gregerson for ugliest? Or depending on your taste the twin catchers Gattis and McCann could be dreamy. Big beefy bearded dudes

I suppose Jason Vargas is kinda minorly messed up looking and...I don't know Lorenzo Cain seems handsome? Then I look up Cain and his smile is doofy as hell, so I don't know. Eric Hosmer is the go to Royals looker I guess but I can't get past his eyebrows at all. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 08:34 on May 23, 2017 |

I mean, you could argue letter vs spirit here for those two (given the rule is to prevent unfair play by the pitcher), but given the game is called by the letter of the rule, drat.

Inspector_666 posted:WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MY BOY?! LEAVE HIM ALONE. I kind of wish this discussion were in its own thread so I could yell at everyone (not you) for how wrong they are without feeling like I have to make serious contributions to make up for it.  Speaking of serious contributions, N: Matt Harvey claims to have fixed himself. quote:“Looking at video from successful starts that I’ve had in the past, we found out that my arm slot was like six inches higher [than in previous years],’’ Harvey said Sunday. “Not this past start, but the previous ones. It kind of dated back to last year when I had some issues with my rib and I couldn’t throw from my normal arm slot because of the injury.” V: I hope he's right. I had the good fortune of seeing him deal during opening week, and I want to see that version of Matt Harvey again.

Hey so I just saw a thing about this yesterday and listened to all 3 of the released episodes, but I think this thread might enjoy a new podcast from C Trent Rosecrans called "Great American Dream." It's following the minor league career of Reds #13 ranked prospect (according to MLB.com, he's not on their top 100) Shed Long. It's good because Shed's good enough that this could go somewhere, but also only got a $100k singing bonus and isn't a top prospect who gets to avoid a lot of the lovely parts of minor league living. Also, thanks to this I learned that Zack Cozart sounds identical to Zeke from Bob's Burgers. Like, uncanny. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 17:07 on May 23, 2017 |

This makes Zack's great year for me on my current OOTP season that much more enjoyable for me, I signed him to my expansion team for defence and he's leading me in pretty much every power stat you can think of. And Bob's Burgers is my favorite TV show. Also the podcast thing reminds me of a really good book I read about an Angels fringe prospect who pitched for Yale and was baffled by how Alberto Callaspo and Manny Aybar (I think it was Aybar, might be remembering that wrong) would do weird poo poo like stick a hot dog from the post game spread in front of their crotch and the other would suck it when they were excited about winning. Cannot remember the title of the book for the life of me.
