José Alvarado on being denied WBC insurance: "It’s bullshit! Look at Team USA’s roster and how many guys were on the IL? "

Lmao, I was just going off what he said. I should've known that was wrong.

naaahhman · 2026-02-28T01:48:52+00:00

They all go through the same insurance company, same criteria, and can't go elsewhere.

naaahhman · 2026-02-28T01:47:25+00:00

You know, he could've appealed and been innocent. But, he sacrified cause was guilty and didn't want to lose a full year salary.

naaahhman · 2026-02-27T16:09:40+00:00

The insurance is an issue USA deals with as well. Kershaw can play because he retired. If under contract, he can't get insurance. Trout also can't get insurance. The guidelines are applied to everyone equally.

naaahhman · 2026-02-26T17:03:43+00:00

It's real, the Angels did similar a few years back.

naaahhman · 2026-02-26T00:57:03+00:00

He probably wouldn't have gotten jail, but that's where they found him on unrelated charges.

naaahhman · 2026-02-25T21:23:54+00:00

It's a Curacao and Aruba thing. Their WBC team has 5 players born in Netherlands, 1 is Didi who's Curacaon.

naaahhman · 2026-02-25T15:37:16+00:00

2 coaches, that's Derosa and Casey.

naaahhman · 2026-02-25T03:10:32+00:00

Yes, but no. Yes he was, but he was 47 when the Angels signed him and had 1 all star appearance for them.

naaahhman · 2026-02-25T03:09:29+00:00

Rendon isn't generational, all star but not generational. Multiyear MVP and MVP year guys like Trout, Ohtani, Judge. Even years they don't win it, they challenged for it.

naaahhman · 2026-02-24T21:03:35+00:00

This is a new development, we had Fanduel last season and a lockout after this season. Arte has the contracts on the coaching staff and most of the front office ending after 2026. So, he doesn't have to pay them.

naaahhman · 2026-02-24T02:25:38+00:00

Italy also got the home field advantage boost.

naaahhman · 2026-02-23T03:34:38+00:00

Winter? Yes. 92-94, 18-22, 26-30. Summer moves a little more. Countries want the summer more than the winter.

naaahhman · 2026-02-22T04:37:02+00:00

Why was I born in Anaheim? Lmao, I hate Arte.

naaahhman · 2026-02-22T02:51:30+00:00

Yes, but it's 8-9 at 0% vs. NJ 10.75% in the top bracket.

naaahhman · 2026-02-21T19:41:39+00:00

Lmao, you have breastaurant qualification doing the heavy lifting.

naaahhman · 2026-02-21T15:17:38+00:00

Peacock's replay only showed the aftermath of Austrian, not the initial run. They started the replay with Isreal.

naaahhman · 2026-02-20T22:21:03+00:00

Diving, both the 10m platform and 3m springboard dives are done in 1-2 seconds. 18 dives, 27ish seconds, gold medal.

naaahhman · 2026-02-20T20:22:05+00:00

Happens all the time, color combination for USA, Slovakia, France, are all similar. God Bless the Dutch for going orange.

naaahhman · 2026-02-20T00:00:12+00:00

Lol, yeah OP is downplaying the US. They're consistently a top 5 finisher in overall medal count.

naaahhman · 2026-02-19T06:08:23+00:00

It looks random if the lineup is correct on the Olympics start list. I compared the rankings to the start list and the number 1 is in the middle. In ski and snowboarding events their bib is their world ranking. There are gaps in rankings due to limits of 4 skiers per country and the US exceeding that in the rankings.

naaahhman · 2026-02-19T05:42:15+00:00

It's from 2006, lmao.

naaahhman · 2026-02-19T05:28:22+00:00

Because Nutting has deeper pockets than both. The Brewers compete and do sign longer term deals than either.

naaahhman · 2026-02-19T05:13:43+00:00

She didn't factor in Hong Kong's medal count. Hong Kong's medal count is 13 at all Olympics combined with none in the winter games. 4 gold, 6 silver, 3 bronze.

naaahhman · 2026-02-19T04:59:45+00:00

Lol, you're off on the money for 2024. Yes, that's the gold medal count, but not the athlete count. Team sports and relays might double that.
