e: nvm was remembering wrong

There was a case where someone got caught cause he tried to gather his bat pieces instead of running it out but that wasn't Sammy, can't remember who it was

Sammy did cork his bat though and blamed it on it being the wrong bat, claimed it was a BP bat that he used to hit long homeruns for the fans

That was Wilton Guerrero wasn’t it?

How many hours every season would y'all say you have eyes directly on a baseball game? We certainly have every Astros game on at the house but twitter is like 30 seconds ahead and I'm becoming used to following games that way or on gamecast, and then catching highlights later. If I'm at a game I'm laser focused and glowering at everyone on their phones but at home, if something interesting happens it comes up on my feed. I found out about both of Yordan's game winners from McTaggart's stupid catchphrase and then went all nonchalantly to watch it happen "in real time" so as not to tip my roommates. Oh, is Yordan Alvarez batting in a critical spot, good thing I just happened to leap to my feet and then calmly walk over here.

I probably caught 150 Jays games last year but I just have baseball on my second monitor while I do whatever.

Four toughs surrounded Joe. They didn't like him talking about the Five Levels of Winning. They didn't like him putting it on a t-shirt. One of them, the biggest, ugliest son-of-a-bitch Joe had ever seen, decided to engage in some repartee about it with Joe by putting together a few hypotheses with his knuckles. The others added some addenda and marginal notes with some kicks to the ribcage. But Joe had been ready for this kind of debate and he made a few ripostes with his fungo bat, really driving his point into one of the toughs' skull. "Attitude is a skill. That's something you can learn on the baseball field... or the boardroom," Joe said.

Since we are going to have a banned shift, pitch clock and limited pick off attempts, what cool innovations do you guys think are in store for the future when it turns out none of that brings in New Fans and also angers existing fans and players?

These lists are funny for the Jays since Shapiro yelled and screamed or whatever at AA about prospects and needing them to produce a perpetual winner and drove him out of Toronto using that as an excuse and lol the Jays system is not very good!

This sucks. He was really good for a few years and then started giving up big homers a lot and then his arm fell off. The Yankees couldn't bring him back for 4mm a year? That is nothing lol

They probably coulda had him for cheaper even, Toronto always has to pay extra for guys

I would like to see evidence of this because I really don't believe this. Toronto has to pay the most for a specific player they want just like every team has to because players almost always sign with the team that offers the most actual money.

I was always under the impression the good old boys hate having to cross the border but it’s hard to tell what’s true and what is Sportsnet bullshit.
