 Hey guys, apparently Puig is "putting in the work" and "saying the right things".

And it's news.

 Manager's decisions have levels more complex and deeper than I imagined.

 I would be ok with the Nats putting the player's first name on the back of their jersey. You know, like Ichiro. Alternatively, their nickname, like Royce or Stu.

 If you tried to build a team with absolutely no strengths except for solo dingers, you likely couldn't best what the O's have done this off-season.

You want a three true outcomes team, this is it. Welcome to Birdland. Except for you Dexter Fowler, you toilet bug.

 If both NL teams agreed, say 5 minutes before the game started, to go with the DH, the rules allow it. I want this to happen just once.

 Most respected statistical analysis clearly indicates that poor spring training outcomes continue as cascading failures during the season. Orioles and Cubs you can stop playing now.

 Kenny needs to convene a gallon of milk chugging challenge the baseball way. If the kid keeps it down, he can stay.

Mollycoddles had better stay out. And leave the pink tea at home.

 Its always reasonable to suspect the Cubs of being up to no good. I'm no NL expert but I did stay in a hotel in St. Louis once.

 Well yeah it is funny, but it just may create some awareness. Hell, I didn't know from haemorrhoids until 1980 and Kansas City

some haemorrhoid site posted:

In the 1980 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Kansas City Royals, George Brett was forced to leave the field during the sixth inning of Game Two due to experiencing extreme haemorrhoid pain.

Following the World Series, Brett was famously quoted, “My problems are all behind me!” when asked to comment on his haemorrhoid surgery. Brett says that afterward from October 1980 up until the time his infamous pine-tar incident occurred in July 1983, he was known as “The Haemorrhoids Guy.” Every time he stepped up to bat in a different city, Brett would hear players joking about haemorrhoids, which Brett eventually made the most of by agreeing to advertise for popular haemorrhoid treatment Preparation H.
