Juan Uribe just offered me a wad of chew soaked in Kahlua and honey. I tell Juan Uribe I'm working. Juan Uribe yells "JUST A LITTLE BIT!!!"

Andrew Miller says he hasn't washed his jock strap since his last bad outing on Sept. 7. That's 18 appearances and 51 days (H/T @BenReiter)

In unrelated news, Upper Deck is coming out with a limited edition Smell-o-vision series of cards featuring game used baseball equipment! Can't wait to check that out

I know two of the people featured in here: http://mashable.com/2016/10/28/mike-napoli-pooping-game-3

Sad that A's deleted their tweets as I fully support all the SmashMouth bashing.

Motivational speaker and author Aubrey Huff took to Twitter.

@aubrey_huff
I mean seriously what the hell is going on? If you have time 2 march, protest and riot. Maybe it's time for something called a job!

@jeffcdwyer
You swung a stick at a ball for a living. Fuck off.

@aubrey_huff
@jeffcdwyer yeah not a lot of boys grow up wanting to do that! I'm such a looser for accomplishing that.

hmmm

“Remember Some guys” is a low level sports meme

Guess it hasnt made it to the old country yet

i have to admit, i had totally forgotten about puig and russell, and thought was A. Gonzalez had long stopped playing

feel like a Guy I Remember fairly often is Wilin Rosario, on account of i thought he was gonna be the next great hitting catcher at one point lol

Bob Melvin said he watches Friends reruns after losses. Seen every episode. So I had to ask: did Ross cheat on Rachel, or were they on a break?

"Don't even get me started on that," he said. "I do have some ideas on that but I'm not going there. That's a loaded question, Steve."

as soon as i read the first tweet i knew what the second would be

I'm sure Aaron Judge is reaching for his phone as I type.

(Is punctuation considered bad form on Twitter, or is it that you're wasting precious character count? That tweet reminds me of 10,000 student journal entries I marked.)

real ballers don’t need punctuation

the lack of punctuation is just part of what makes him a Tru Poster

It's possible he was influenced by Ulysses.

if you're not for canseco, you are against canseco. and he thrives on competition, so watch out

His strikeout vs me this year shouldn’t count

— Andrew McCutchen (@TheCUTCH22) September 21, 2023

When I asked Bob Feller about a rookie Stephen Strasburg, he said, “Call me when he wins his 100th game.”

When Strasburg won his 100th game, Feller was dead.

Just appreciate fun/interesting things as they happen, I think is the point. https://t.co/Ze4DF6bZRE

Robinson Canó is currently batting .447 with a 1.153 OPS in the Mexican Baseball League. This is clearly an elite baseball player in his prime. The Twins could use help at second base. Why haven't they signed him yet?

Tweets, important and otherwise, reach me via Facebook.

No you hate the Yankees because year after year they have beat down your hopes and dreams of winning. First, by beating you on the field. Second, even if they have a down year they can go reload. Enjoy this little stretch your players will be a Yankee,Dodger,or Red Sox.

— Josh Donaldson (@BringerOfRain20) July 13, 2024

I don't know the details of the incident they're arguing about, but Donaldson really is a jerk--going after some fan and bragging that the Yankees can spend their way out of anything. Didn't they send him packing?

They DFA’d him so he has first hand knowledge of them eating money to make moves lol

you need the https:// at the beginning

shameful numbers for most of these clubs

Many thanks

Tbf, there is an element of estimation here. The graph is based of this Forbes article, if you click the team headers in it you will find a more in depth breakdown

https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2024/03/28/baseballs-most-valuable-teams-2024/

is that before or after revenue share?

The yankees numbers are the most shocking to me

After I'm pretty sure?

Forbes’ team valuations are enterprise values (equity plus net debt) based on historical transactions and the future economics of the sport and each team. Revenue and operating income (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) are for the 2023 season and are net of revenue sharing, competitive balance taxes and stadium revenue used for debt service. Ownership stakes in regional sports networks, as well as related profits or losses, are excluded from our valuations and operating results, as are investments in real estate and other businesses. (For all-inclusive sports ownership valuations, see the 2023Sports Empires rankings.) Sources include sports bankers, team and league executives, public documents like leases and filings related to public bonds, and media rights experts.

i’d be interested to see what it looks like before the revenue share. just how small market is pittsburgh really?

pittsburgh metro area ranks 27th (narrowly ahead of cincy, milwaukee, kansas city, cleveland)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area#Rankings

i.e., it's small compared to most of its competitors but not actually small. it's absolutely a choice to spend that little on the team

yeah i don't doubt that pirates could be spending more, just wondering how much of that revenue share is nutter pocketing as pure profit

Helping to alleviate the big financial spread among teams (the top five are worth an average of $5.1 billion versus $1.2 billion for the bottom five), was a record amount of revenue sharing in 2023. The 13 richest team, including the Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Yankees, gave $500 million combined to the 14 poorest teams, including the Tampa Bay Rays, Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Orioles.

so on average about $35 million to each small market team, not that much actually

yankees operating income of just $2 million suggests that they are always operating on the bleeding edge and putting all their revenue back into the team

mets having an operating loss of $292 million is pretty lolmets and i'm guessing not sustainable, even with an owner like steve cohen

All those terrible doctors employed by the Yankees surely don’t come cheap
