On a 1-0 count in a tie game? These kids have no damn respect these days , shameful stuff

 

[lovehateself]

I’m high school I always swung at 3-0 if I felt I could destroy the ball. Don’t see why it should change in the pros.

coach always said, if it looks good...swing
now with 3-0 counts, certain guys still have that green light.
by HS, you know if your THAT guy

Old-timey authors of the unwritten rules rolling over in their graves.

Machado hit a walk off grand slam against Texas last night? Rangers manager was probably pissed. Surprised he didn’t come out and say, he didn’t have to hit that, could of just hit a single lol.

 

[uncalled4boy]

Well Done

 

[DsLee]

NL MVP race is tight right now, but I got Tatis first and Mookie second currently. The kid has just been amazing and the fact that he can potentially get 20/20 in a 60 game is crazy. After them it's a toss up between Soto, Harper, Realmuto, Blackman. Yastrzemski doing his thing too, but SF's current standing may hurt his chances. Going to be fun to see who holds up, halfway point is this weekend!

 

[Hahahaha]

Hahahahahahahahahahah, a HR during his apology. That’s hilarious. Didn’t seem genuine at all.

 

[getback]

If SD could've wrangled Mookie that 1-2-3 of Mook-Machado-Tatis would have been explosive.

Brennaman really apologized to his employer first before the people he offended

 

[RyGuy45]

Wow that Brennaman thing was even worse than what I was imagining it was he said. What an idiot, and throw out the live mic part - the fact that it was cool to say it "around the boys" in the booth/truck is pretty sad (and telling).

 

[macbk]

Isnt thom one of the main guys on nfl on fox as well? What an idiot

I knew this dudes voice sounded familiar.

Son that **** had me dying. Of all the times to hit it out the park lmaoooooo.

He’s the 2nd PBP on Fox. He fills in for the prime time games when Buck is doing the LCS and World Series

Padres contact said the hang up was Wil effing Myers. Padres didn’t want to pay any of his salary going to Boston.

Exactly. Lots of guys say that stuff with their friends around the house when hanging out but how do you bring that stuff to any professional work environment?
Makes you wonder how these Fox guys are when the cameras are off. It must be so widespread there that they feel fine with this type of stuff going on while they are at work but the cameras and mic’s are off.

No one should be saying this. I haven’t heard this word from my friends in years and even if I do I correct them right away.

working at a middle school I hear that word about 50 times a day. Correct it every time as well.

Thats insane to me - I would think the younger generations were growing up with this being more prevalent in their homes and community

I’m at a Title I school and younger generation here, almost has no filter. It’s insane.

crazy to think about, but Superbad came out in 07 which isn't really that long ago and they used that slur heavily.

 

[Fozz]

It's Joey Bart time!

Curt has far and away undone any props and respect he deserved for 2004. MLB should give us Pete Rose back in exchange for that guy.

Lol I just watched it for the first time in years. Didn’t realize they had used it so much!

13 years is a long time to me - I would hope no 13 year old is using this ugly slur, but it’s happening.

I guess living in major cities has my mindset more liberal
