Yeah, running him out there to blow games in the 1st inning, game after game is the cure for sure

I might be the only MMA fan in this thread, but that main event is a decent fight. I'm planning to watch that tomorrow. It'll probably be on at about 11:30 am central

Pete if you were GM we'd dress 12,500 didn't players over the course of a season

Pineda in great shape pitch count wise

My son's lady partner has a son that's 6'10 that's LEFT HANDED and could throw in the 80's when he was 16, but has no interest in baseball. They started him in it a couple times and he would quit

And you need a 2nd grade teacher, I said if Duffy don't get it together. He has a few more starts before Vargas gets back....you no reading waste of space

If he's extremely intelligent and wanted to go into an academic or professional career that he was passionate about, then thats fine.

Otherwise, holy smokes that was a dumb decision.

That's insane ... if true, he could be a first round pick. Talk sense into that dummy
