Excuse me @SCHEELS, I’d like a word.

He did exactly right here. The #1 rule with bases loaded and less than 2 outs is you cannot get doubled up on a line drive to 3rd baseman. So your lead is as far as the 3rd baseman is from the bag. He did this perfect.

Yikes. Not only has Patrick taken over my jersey, but now my body is being replaced with Gordo’s body? Been a tough stretch for the kid

No matter what happens tonight, be kind, love one another, make good decisions, talk less and listen more. Take a deep breath because despite what you see on this increasingly divisive platform, it’s going to be ok. Mark 12: 30-31

In AAA, all of our flights connected in Denver. I was in AAA a long time. I made a lot of friends in that airport. This seems accurate.

KC,
Thanks for sticking by our side during the lockout. As a thank you, I’ll be giving away 4 tickets to each game on opening weekend (Fri-Sun). Tweet me your best @Bsinger51 picture. I’ll pick my 3 favorites and DM the winners.
You guys are the best!

Hey Cal... 👀
Per @EliasSports, Whit Merrifield has played in 247 consecutive team games, the longest streak among active MLB players.

Based on the incredible annual revenue of the league, we feel players with 0-3 years of service should be better compensated.
We want to fix the competitive balance so EVERY team’s focus is winning year after year
We want to fix service time manipulation
What exactly is each side asking for? I'll confess to being confused by this whole process this time around.

Took us less than 48 hours to respond with a fair, sensible, compromised proposal. Because we want to play. Now.
The MLBPA is making a proposal to MLB for a season of around 89 games with a full prorated share of salary and expanded playoffs, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN. It would bring the sides closer to a potential deal and is ~25 games under the last union offer.

This is the kind of thinking is bad for the sport. The AL Central is tight with 4 teams. Could be decided by a game or 2. If you think the kid can help you win, why on earth would you wait another 14-15 games???
"What Kansas City has done is the single-most irresponsible move I've seen in quite a long a time."

There is no context in which this sentence should ever be said. There should be one goal. Period. Win a championship. Every year. If that’s not your main goal, sports aren’t for you.

Cool little piece on my journey to where we are now
Three years ago this week, @WhitMerrifield thought he was on his way to the big leagues.
Then he had his heart broken.
Here’s why the @Royals 2B swings angry.

Actions speak louder than words Alec. This statement was followed by 6 weeks of quiet. I could give you example after example but that one pretty much sums up what these last 2 years have been like.
Can’t stop thinking about these words, which Rob Manfred wrote in his letter to fans when MLB imposed a lockout Dec. 2: “We hope that the lockout will jumpstart the negotiations and get us to an agreement that will allow the season to start on time.”

I can. Baseball is coming back. That’s a fact. And it’s such a beautiful game. While the business of it may suck sometimes, that doesn’t take away from the beauty of the game we love and miss. “Distance makes the heart grow fonder.”
Even though everyone in baseball has seen this coming, emotions are flowing tonight
Anger. Sadness. Disapointment. Profound worry about the future. And agreement this is one of baseball’s worst days ever
That’s from both sides. One quote:
“I can’t see a single ray of sunshine”

It’s a simple fix then. Pay players who put the ball in play and pitchers who throw strikes more. Players who hit homers are paid more. So players strive to only hit homers. Same with pitchers. Strike outs get guys get paid. Throwing strikes and getting weak contact pays less.
"We need to find a way to get more action in the game, get the ball in play more often, allow players to show their athleticism some more, and give the fans more of what they want.” - Theo Epstein on MLB's entertainment value

Just bought a tree funnel to water my Christmas tree. Lady at the register asked, “Is that really for your Christmas tree or are you using it for a beer funnel?” Guess it’s time for a shave and a haircut...

The way baseball is set up, this is good “business.” But the business model has got to change. Teams should be rewarded for pursuing wins now. Instead, it seems teams are more inclined to the idea of “its cheaper if we wait.” That needs to change.
The @BlueJays will keep Vlad Guerrero Jr. down in Triple-A until he can't accrue a full year of service time in 2019, thereby pushing back his arbitration and free agency clock a year. #MLB bit.ly/2RZuPE0

This is embarrassing and a huge reason we continue to fight for our rights and fair compensation as players
On the field, players battle to win the World Series. But behind closed doors, teams compete for a lesser-known title. Inside the fierce fight over arbitration, and why MLB hands out a championship belt for holding down salaries:
