Acuna might be OK.  I don't know what exact connections this guy has besides working for Univision - and he's the first verified account to tweet any news - but hopefully this does mean actual good news. https://twitter.com/bvenezolano/status/1000901434257428480

Acuna being okay after that is all the evidence I feel like baseball fandom should need as far as evidence that the Braves are God's chosen team this year imho

Niwrad posted:Cubs starting Heyward again FTFY New Concept Hole posted:Giants are desperate for offense at 2B, with Hansen and Panik being hurt, and Kelby's offense looking even worse this year To be fair, who needs "range" or "agility" when you can block balls with your girth? Niwrad posted:Schwarber, Almora, and Zobrist/Happ in RF. This shouldn't be that difficult for Joe. Heyward has been one of the worst players in baseball the last 3 years. Even without Ben or Ian, put Kris in right and Tommy on 3rd. Or Willson in right and start Gimenez behind the plate. Or put Carl Jr. in the field. There's literally no other lineup that's worse in terms of production at the plate.

Jake was offered the same contract as Yu and he refused it, though, so it's not simply about one being chosen over the other by the team. I'd be cool with both Darvish and Arrieta over Chatwood, though!!!

Oh, Pudge's son, pitcher Dereck Rodriguez, (inevitably D-Rod) got called up by the San Francisco Giants. https://www.instagram.com/p/BjT_f50Deo9/?utm_source=ig_embed I'd like to think Pudge told him, in the way that fathers do, of the horrors of catching and to do anything else on the field except squat like a crazy person behind the plate.

There’s no escaping the incessantly repetitive MLB.tv commercials. Probably not even if you go to hell. 1 The DirectTV black dude commercial uses an ear destroying klaxon which not coincidentally is the same horn sound the US Marines played at monster volumes in Panama to get Noriega to stumble mindlessly from his hidey hole. Nothing can redeem this monstrosity. 2 Charge it to the Game is well produced but I had to look up the phrase “charge it to the game” because I wondered if this was a credit card commercial but it wasn’t. I think their target audience is watching another sport because it has English sub-titles for mom and dad. I don’t think this is mom and dad’s favorite commercial. 3 The What's in your Wallet beer girl is really cute. Like really, really cute. I don’t mind this commercial. Can she do color announcing? 4. Verlander’s nose goo commercial is thankfully short but leaves me wondering if he could have made more money pitching Pepsi. 5. There’s a “no, not that leap, THAT leap” ad for somebody called Mophie, which would be a good baseball nickname. I don’t know what they are selling. Those are the main ones. Is there some kind of marketing dogma that values strapping people to a chair, forcibly wiring their eyelids open and playing the same thing over and over again?

The Jays team is looking very nebulous for next year so they're going to be playing him outside of C as much as they can. ....Is what Fuckin' Pat told me throughout the Philly series on TV, anyways.
