It's sickening to see a guy with Robert's talent not duel peers like Byron Buxton in meaningful games all summer long. It's what makes baseball great.Part of me doesn't want to win because the other team loses main players though... I never honestly like to see it even if it is in our favor.
And now you know why Chernoff said, "Thanks, but no thanks."Guarantee this was Cohen’s call.
Ah, no "if's" now...they definitely were just dumbasses, incapable of assessing worth.We have a really good FO, but this was a complete whiff in both logic and execution.
Good job taking my post out of contextAh, no "if's" now...they definitely were just dumbasses, incapable of assessing worth.
I don't get why you hate Santana so much. He's so smooth. He's proven that he has longevity and can keep doing this for a long time. His song with Rob Thomas was dope.Does anybody even read posts on here anymore?

Same deal with Mr Feller.. he'd talk and talk and talk.. not on the field.. in the stands with you.. He was a graciously splendid human who truly loved baseball and baseball fans.. That led to the axiom (at least while he was alive)... "...if you didn't have Bob Fellers autograph, it was your fault because signed everything he was presented.." Some former players embrace the gift and give back.. others are surly SOB's that have no patience for the intrusion..One of the last of the all time greats:
Willie Mays Carries the Torch for His Generation (Published 2021)
On the occasion of baseball’s oldest living Hall of Famer turning 90, a reflection on the conditioning that powered his greatness.www.nytimes.com
Mays had a reputation of being surly to fans at times in his retirement years.
Several years ago my girlfriend and I were attending Spring Training in Phoenix. One
afternoon we decided to go see the Giants workout. At that time they had workouts
at a community college in Scottsdale.
As we wandered around, we noticed Mays tutoring Giant outfielders out in CF on one
of the diamonds. No fences or security forces in those days. As they huddled up
for the learning, we crept closer , attempting to eavesdrop on the conversation.
Suddenly Mays turned toward us and I thought he was going to read us the riot act.
Instead, he smiled , waved us into the huddle. He graciously posed for a picture and let us
hang close enough to listen to his teaching positioning and breaking for hits.
A very cool experience all the way.
I was around Rapid Robert a number of times at promotional events over the years....Bob loved to talk, and was never shy about comparing himself to other players, but he did it with a certain charm and obvious love of the game.Same deal with Mr Feller.. he'd talk and talk and talk.. not on the field.. in the stands with you..
