Pirates had Wilmer Difo playing deep third yesterday for no reason and he had a hard time throwing to first because of it. I know they're deliberately losing but they could at least make it entertaining.

Early in the season, the only Cubs reliever who is good appears to be Craig kimbrel.

I don't get why you wouldn't want to share unless you were being coy about not getting it. Like who cares if people know you got the vaccine that's not really sensitive private medical information.

I'm gonna be honest I've been to three different Vegas buffets (Bellagio, Aria and what used to be the Monte Carlo) and none of them really impressed me. They were... Fine but tremendously overpriced.

I really don't get this poo poo. If you're anti-vax, why would you be in a vaccination commercial and why wouldn't you say you're anti-vax? I guess, with so many baseball players being paranoid and ritualistic, he could really consider it personal information he doesn't want to share?

I don't think it's weird, it's private information he doesn't have to have a reason or secret motive for not wanting to talk about it. Maybe I'm biased since I don't really care which athlete gets vaccinated and which doesn't. More shots for me I guess.

Maybe he _wants_ the vaccine but has a private medical condition that prevents him from getting one? I don't care if this ONE PERSON gets the jab, but hopefully his PSA means that whoever can get

You're right he doesn't have to share it. It just seems odd to say you don't want to share if you're getting it but then implying you are heavily in favour of players getting it because you were in a commercial promoting vaccines. MLB probably doesn't want to upset the anti-vax crowd whom are also the people they are targeting with the extra innings rules and earlier game start times. Because all those things are dumb you see.

This is what makes me think the MLBPA instructed the players not to say yes or no and use the personal choice line. Alonso very clearly is saying he got or will get the vaccine, just with the biggest wink imaginable.

Disney buffets are boring and gross (except for Boma because it’s just an awesome sampler of African cuisine) because they’re the default spots for families with kids. The good Disney food is always at the temporary Epcot festival stands or Casey’s because it’s just variations of hot dogs and the place is themed like a 1920s baseball stadium.

The only two I have had was that one on top of the Contemporary which you had to pay a ridiculous amount to do and the breakfast one at the Grand Californian which was also amazing so from my sample size of two they own.

Perfect time to reintroduce this.
