Next season there will be a minimum number of challenges a team must use to ensure there's enough minutes of slo-mo during broadcasts to make sure those ads are zoomed in on screen long enough.

They basically are designed to be as annoying as possible repeating the same names or slogans as many times as possible so its burned in your brain. Its gross! But it also works.

I’m going to boycott every company that appears on MLB jerseys this season. That’ll show them. I don’t even know if a company like Avnet could be boycotted, the stuff they make must be everywhere.

I went to high school with Correa’s ankle, can confirm it was a huge rear end in a top hat.

This is legit the funniest thing I've ever read. Both the statement itself and Boras' ridiculous spin. My spouse's ankle has a plate, 10 screws, and a ligature holding the tibia and fibula in place. It was done by a nationally renowned orthopedic surgeon who has done work for the Bulls, and even he said it was fairly routine. It took almost a year to recover from and they're still only back to basic roller skating two years on. They'll probably never play derby again. Correa's been playing elite baseball for years. The fact that apparently no one knew or remembered that his ankle is make of broken glass coated in acid is hilarious. lol, and indeed, lmao.

zoux posted:Show that doc your SO's ankle and blow his freakin mind. (how'd they break it that bad) Skating! Edge of a wheel caught weird in the bottom of a bowl and folded under. The end of the fibula broke clear off and sharded halfway up their calf. They had to wait a month and a half for the swelling to subside enough to actually get the surgery done. I'll see if I can get clearance to post an x-ray later.

Slapdick ankle. Further down the article, I wanna see Cole Hamels make it back and I wouldn't mind a reunion with the Cubs. If there's a chance he can hold that 89-91MPH, that's where he was when he was last good with the Cubs (with the occasional 94 for old times sake) and they have arms ready to step in when he inevitably breaks. Nothing much to lose, and maybe you get a decent deadline flip.

When a doctor looks at an ankle that has been working perfectly fine and their conclusion is "this shouldn't be working" instead of "why is this working" I'm not really interested in their projections. I may be slightly biased because A: Correa is on my favorite team and B: I have had a similar interaction with a doctor about my own ankle after a nasty sprain in high school

Yeah, when it came out that the Giants and Mets have the same ankle guy, I wonder how much of it is professional dick measuring since Correa presumably went to a different ankle guy. "Oh, you went to my far inferior colleague who uses the bad nails and puts them ten degrees more acute than I would. I expect your ankle to fall off tomorrow".

I don't think this comes up if he was looking for a deal that ended before his age ~36 year. Obviously I'm not a doctor, and this is just from reading a whole bunch of articles about this, but the concern I saw come up most often was degenerative traumatic arthritis. I think this is more about the out years of the deal than any imminent concern over his ankle while he's still in his prime.

That sounds like a tomorrow problem. For now, I want to see some crazy shortstop infield catches and 158 hits or so a year.

They had to wait a month and a half for the swelling to subside enough to actually get the surgery done. My teammate couldn't stop in time when trying to get to a puck in the corner and went feet-first into the boards. He needed a metal plate and a bunch of screws to fix it. He showed me the initial x-ray of his ankle and his bones looked like a pile of broken glass. He was back playing hockey again in only like 8 months.

In the Heyman article that links to, and says that Senga had a not great medical either. I'm sure the Mets will keep him healthy.

He was the Astros beat reporter but Evan Drellich had a relationship with the Astros FO that was so acrimonious that the Houston Chronicle had to remove him from the assignment.
