This is probably a joke but if not, are they trying to say the average American eats over 6,000 calories a day? Or eats enough McDonalds for a family of 4 every day? That just silly.

Schumaker is very jacked. Being in worse shape than your manager should be embarrassing for a professional athlete.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
It's interesting (to me anyway) how it turns out that a lot of these top level professional athletes (even the best of the best makings tens of millions of dollars a year) who you would assume have teams of knowledgeable people working for them creating the perfect diet and exercise plan actually turn out to live shockingly "normal" lifestyles and when you break down their diets or their exercise programs they do all sorts of goofy poo poo. It's kind of inspiring.

It just comes down to willpower. You can have people tell you what’s best for you all day long but in the long run it’s easier and more enjoyable to eat like poo poo than eating right.

I think it was Moncada who it turned out ate a shitload of Twinkies every day for a while there?

I think it's that teams make diet professionals available to players but ultimately can't really force them to follow them unless there are contractual terms requiring them to do so.

He got into a bunch of trouble with the Japanese press/social media for posting support for Ridge Alkonis on Instagram a couple months ago, entirely possible it made him toxic enough over there for teams to pass.

We're also talking about 20-somethings. Most people don't take their diet seriously till they have to, and most people aren't as genetically gifted as professional athletes.

Piece of poo poo US navy lieutenant deployed in Japan who drove drunk and killed a mom and son when he crashed. Served three years in Japanese prison before the US got Japan to turn him over, and then we immediately paroled him because of course we did.

This rule loving sucks. Just let them challenge it and if the guy is called out but he's blocked call him safe. The extra base is awful.

lol like the tenth hammy injury for Madrigal, at some point the Cubs need to accept his legs are made of hopes and dreams and move on.

Dogshit news for Kilian though, looked like he was finally starting to make things click.

Aside from Stroman, I feel like the Cubs were pretty lucky on the injury front last year. I have a bad feeling that will not be the case this season.

Bauer’s biggest problem (besides being a piece of poo poo) is that he can’t keep his mouth shut and let his people do their work to try and get him a job. If he had done things quietly there was potentially a small chance he goes to Indy ball or something. But he feels so entitled to play in the majors that he can’t help but whine on socials.

It's also that teams know he won't stay quiet and thus would be an ongoing PR nightmare for them. Like if he'd just agree to do an apology presser and then put his head down, he'd be on an MLB team right now.
