It's up to upper management to create a culture where noncompliance will be reported and action will be taken. But lol Metz.
Anyone remember the detsils on that time Mauer played RF because the old Twins front office couldn't get a 3rd outfielder to a game?

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

It’s also that you used to be able to rush passports. I once got my passport in one day by spending 8 hours at the dmv and that’s without any kind of resources and connections. I’m the past a team probably could have gotten a passport rushed if they found out with a few days or a week to go. But now everything is backed up and slow as hell.

Expired passports is something that shouldn't happen to players cause they (should) have people for that kind of stuff, such as the team for one

I mean it’s definitely something that shouldn’t have happened. Someone should have caught it ahead of time. But it’s probably happened before. Baseball players are morons and organizations are dysfunctional. But in 2022 there’s no shortcut.

Florial had sucked until very recently (and I know Keith Law has discussed the possibility that his turnaround may have to do more with the garbage quality of AAA pitching right now than an actual improvement).

Ok but he has like a plus 1k ops over the last 2 months and you’d think he would earn himself at least a few major league ABs with how terrible Gallo and Hicks are

Not that it matters but he didn't injure it at the derby.

he injured it in Texas stealing 3rd. Travel combined with stress of the derby and the ASG flared it up and it became a concern.

It sucks but at least there's nothing broken or any serious damage.

This was the exact reasoning I was calling for R.A. Dickey to get called up when the Mets rotation was a dumpster fire and he was throwing one hitters in AAA back in 2010. And I got absolutely dumpster here for it.

gently caress it bring up the guys in the minors if the MLB guys are sucking.

I've heard of guys getting traded to to Jays not being able to join the team right away because they were on the road somewhere and didn't have it with them because they thought they wouldn't need it.

But yeah, bring your passport should be on the list of stuff to do on the for day of spring training since the travel person presumably needs that to book travel.

Probably not. If he thought not getting the vaccine was a sign of being a dumbass he would have gotten it. The only people that haven't gotten it are the people who wouldn't feel shame in it getting announced to the world.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
To top off getting owned by the Angels, Adam Duvall hurt his wrist pretty bad today; he'll undergo surgery and might be out the rest of the year.

This stands to hurt the Braves quite a bit; Duvall has been pretty bad this year but at least he's been predictably bad and plays decent defense. Now it's gonna be Acuña, who clearly isn't all the way right; Harris, who has been amazing but has cooled off a bit and is overdue a long rookie slump; Rosario, who basically now gets his chance to prove that the laser surgery worked and he isn't cooked generally; and Heredia, who is definitely not an everyday player. Guess there's also the comedy option of sticking Ozuna back out in the field.

edit: good generally when a player injures something you have to look up
