Remember how Heyward would tie himself up for about 20 ABs in a row and then every now and then get everything synched up, open his front half and hit the ball to the moon? It's kinda like that. But he did drop his hands a little earlier and that probably helped more than dipping the back leg did. Hands came down then knob got out there first before his hands/wrists brought everything back around. Swing was still a little bit loopy but he's a big man so that may just be something you live with. That's just a little better swing in a few areas. But that's the thing about 'launch angle' stuff - BIG changes aren't usually ideal. Just a handful of small ones is the kind of thing you want to see. That's a good sign, but repetition is still gonna be critical.

Guys that throw as hard as he does are essentially Ferraris and if you drive 'em like you stole 'em, you'll break 'em. You can thrash someone like Gallegos a little bit. But Helsley simply wasn't going to hold up to these usage patterns.

Okay, I wanna start this by saying that I think Kevin Slaten is a chode.
But **** me - this is AMAZING. https://www.spreaker.com/user/113744..._source=widget An interview with BDWIII; starts about 8 minutes in. He is absolutely savage. He sounds like Hamas or I would if you got some drinks in us and stuck us in a room with the owner. I mean he's flat out asking what Girsch does around here, why Mozeliak hasn't been fired, why does the team refuse to hire managers it can't control, why is a team crying poor that gave Wainwright $17 million. I mean this is brutal. He's coming right at DeWitt. And in 3-4 separate instances they're flat trading body blows with each other. "If you'd listen, Bill..." with a level of disdain that I struggle to get into my voice when the dog shits on the rug. Just...wow.

Oh shit - DeWitt's response to the "Why doesn't Shannon get a patch" question we all asked wasn't even "the timing hasn't been right" - it was "We decided only Cooperstown HoFers get one..."
They're not gonna do one. They're standing firm on it. Holy shit. What an absolute dickhead.

Strange - players don't like it when you shit on them publicly. Who knew?

Marmol thinks he's Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, but really he's David Schwimmer in Band of Brothers.

To this day I'll say "we salute the rank, not the man..."
There are any number of judges I've dealt with to whom this axiom applies...

Publicly throwing someone under the bus as a scapegoat hurt their confidence? Who could have known…

But 90 isn't. I'd say it's more likely they lose 90 games than win 82. Which makes the fact that the Royals managed to lose 100 games like 4 seasons out of 5 all the more amazing. I don't know how you could manage that on PURPOSE, let alone if you were making any sort of effort at all to win ballgames. 100 losses is just unbelievably bad.
