Re: MLB 2023
Neat story for demonstrating the irrational element to it all. His arm hasn't changed, only his facial presentation, and it makes all the difference.

I'm such a fucking sucker. For all the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments this off-season, god help me I'm excited for Base Ball to start again.

Pedroia is a rare Red Sock whom *all* Boston fans absolutely love. He even escaped the bloodthirsty local media. Playing the game "the right way" is usually a dumb cliche, but the runt played it the right way, always.Flex wrote: ↑18 Feb 2023, 11:38pmI love this, I love this so much: https://theathletic.com/4226178/2023/02 ... -training/

Re: MLB 2023
Yeah, this is true. The knee injury killed his HoF chances but it meant that the media didn't shiv him during a slow decline. On some level, there must be Boston writers who resent him for denying them that chance. Or maybe just being a short white guy would have immunized him.revbob wrote: ↑19 Feb 2023, 11:53amBy not hanging around too long past his due date.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Feb 2023, 7:32amPedroia is a rare Red Sock whom *all* Boston fans absolutely love.

Re: MLB 2023
Well, not exactly. He spent the last few years of his contract basically unable to take the field, but I think everyone was sympathetic since it was pretty much a direct result of being Machado'd and having his career more or less ended on a supremely dirty play.revbob wrote: ↑19 Feb 2023, 11:53amBy not hanging around too long past his due date.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Feb 2023, 7:32amPedroia is a rare Red Sock whom *all* Boston fans absolutely love.

YouTube tv has lost their MLB contract so I'm going to be missing a lot of baseball this year. And I prefer to watch it.

Pirate streams are a thing. I can point you in the direction of a few fairly reliable ones.
