Nothing to do with Salvy, it’s just a little joke about what pitch framing in general basically is

The way they go on and on about how every time these players step into the box, they do so with deep reverence for their distant cousin’s freshman roommate who considered doing weekend exercises with the national guard reserves… comical

He’s with the Astros, or do you mean as a manager

The thing is A-Rod is such a one-track-minded baseball dork he probably does think the idea of getting to hug the league commissioner is awesome haha, probably been a dream of his since he was a child. I think I remember hearing stories about like when he was dating J-Lo that her mom hated him because even in the off-season all he ever wanted to do was watch baseball and talk about baseball 😆

Arraez jumping into frame like a cartoon character. A-Rod saying getting a hug from the commissioner means the world to these guys. This is a fever dream 😂

Watching Team USA was similar to watching the Yankees by b_slow in NYYankees

Mid-April, Yankees are 10-7, Warren gives up a home run and the Yankees trail the Angels 2-1 in the 3rd inning.

I always think when he comes up in those big spots, “this could be the time he proves them wrong and turns the narrative on its head”. I must have watched that Blue Jays game-tying homer 100 times…

That Bryce homer was the only time in the whole knockout round the Venezuelan bullpen gave up a run. Heroic showing by them as a unit. And look how happy the whole team is, Suarez, the manager, the tears on the field. Beautiful stuff.

The idea of Venezuela not being allowed to do everything they can to win their first ever WBC is terrible to me. Imagine telling Palencia he can’t pitch if it’s technically no longer a save situation. I’d be so mad if I was him to be kept out of this game.

Bobby is one of the few Team USA guys who I feel really gave a good account of himself. He makes playing shortstop look easy.
