I know he'll appeal it (as everyone always does) but I'm glad to see MLB is actually not a horrible moster when it comes to domestic abuse.

He's not.

Anyone have any issues with mlb.tv where if you're watching a recorded game it'll hang up and just go back to the very beginning?

For like 4 years, yes. Its kind of a new Spring Training ritual, figuring out which bugs mlb.tv didn't fix this season. The answer is usually all of them.

I feel like I'm going insane

It works on a roku though for whatever reason

Bryce Harper is good posted:

�Baseball�s tired,� he says. �It�s a tired sport, because you can�t express yourself. You can�t do what people in other sports do. I�m not saying baseball is, you know, boring or anything like that, but it�s the excitement of the young guys who are coming into the game now who have flair. If that�s Matt Harvey or Jacob deGrom or Manny Machado or Joc Pederson or Andrew McCutchen or Yasiel Puig � there�s so many guys in the game now who are so much fun.

�Jose Fernandez is a great example. Jose Fernandez will strike you out and stare you down into the dugout and pump his fist. And if you hit a homer and pimp it? He doesn�t care. Because you got him. That�s part of the game. It�s not the old feeling � hoorah ... if you pimp a homer, I�m going to hit you right in the teeth. No. If a guy pimps a homer for a game-winning shot ... I mean � sorry.�

He stops, looks around. The hell with it, he�s all in.

�If a guy pumps his fist at me on the mound, I�m going to go, �Yeah, you got me. Good for you. Hopefully I get you next time.� That�s what makes the game fun. You want kids to play the game, right? What are kids playing these days? Football, basketball. Look at those players � Steph Curry, LeBron James. It�s exciting to see those players in those sports. Cam Newton � I love the way Cam goes about it. He smiles, he laughs. It�s that flair. The dramatic.�

Tyler White's been tearing up the spring and slashed .325/.442/.496 across AA and AAA last year

I wouldn't mind having him man first base if the Astros want to hold off Reed's arb clock. He's not considered anywhere near the prospect Reed is though

Seems like you're better off with him than Singleton no, maybe platoon them

quote:

The White House, Washington
I remember my dream of becoming a professional MLB player, to represent my people and to help those I love through this game. Being born in a country where baseball is the national pastime gave me the foundation to become the person and the player I am today.

At 26 years of age, I made a decision to leave my Cuba.

Not knowing what the outcome would be, I, along with a few members of my family, floated away in a small cramped boat for more than 12 hours before reaching Haiti. The waters were rough, the night was scary, and the sun was unforgiving.

I remember looking back as we drifted away, leaving behind my life, my family, my friends, and my two-year-old son. I could feel my heart pounding harder and harder as we got further away. I knew that even if I made it to my destination safely, I didn't know if I would be able to ever return.

It was the hardest decision I have had to make but it was exactly what needed to happen. I couldn't have imagined how blessed my life was going to be after I left; how my dream of becoming a professional player in the Major Leagues would become a reality, as well as becoming a symbol of pride for my people.

Yet, I lived not knowing if or when I would be able to see my family or be able to go back.

I was so blessed to return to my homeland last year as part of the Baseball Goodwill Tour thanks to the efforts of Major League Baseball, the MLB Players Association, President Obama, and the Cuban government.

That empty dark part of my heart was suddenly filled with joy and great appreciation.

I treasured every minute I spent with my family, the future heroes of the game, and the beautiful faces of my fans in Cuba. I cried tears of happiness while holding my son and left happy knowing that soon we'll be able to play baseball without boundaries. And thank God, that's exactly how all of my dreams are coming true.

José D. Abreu
@79Joseabreu

P.S. Yesterday, for the first time in 17 years, an MLB team played the Cuban national team in an exhibition game in Havana.

You can read President Obama's reflections on what this small step means for relations between our two

MadBum is a helluva a pitcher but he's such a baby.

Edit: Apparently Fowler was communicating signs from second to Heyward and Heyward was acknowledging Fowler about them being on the wrong page and MadBum thought he was talking poo poo to MadBum.
