MLB PLEASE DON’T IMPLEMENT THE PITCH CLOCK. You’ve already gone waaaaay too far with the “Pace of Play” changes and I don’t want it to get worse for baseball.

Seth Mellen Agree!

[@zenithSSBM]

So youre telling me this roster was so stacked that Yelich and Bryant couldn’t even make the final cut? Damn

[@tronskee32]

Always love story time vids like this, great video!

[@daltonfarris]

Honestly, feel like bryant and yelich didnt get cut and dropped out. They probably laugh at the misfortune of the guys who went. That's literally the greatest story tho, teenage manny Machado in Venezuela where it wasn't safe for Americans at all, and the team was confined to a resort, asks even younger bryce Harper if he wants to sneak out at 2 in the morning to roam the streets in search of late night empanadas🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿‍♂️🙏🏿👍🏿👌🏿👏🏿

[@yellowflamegaulent3902]

Well remember Bryce Harper grew up with Kris Bryant.

[@daltonfarris]

@@yellowflamegaulent3902 ya, if kris wanted to be on the team and bryce wanted him too, with the clout a young bryce harper had, he could have gotten Bryant on the team

A year or 2 after this I saw Harper in an independent league game in N.C. In gm 2 he launched a 450+ ft shot & blew a kiss to the pitcher. G. Stanton, Yelich, Ozuna & D. Gordon watched it from the field. Jose Fernandez struck Harper out twice the following game.

Dawson, ur a giants fan right? I was just curious, say you're san francisco's gm, they're kind of in a weird spot right now. What kinds of moves would you make, and would you go for it, or build for the future?

[@FizzyCape]

Matt Schrampfer they should without a doubt build for the future. Dodgers are a powerhouse that aren’t falling anytime soon, padres are on the final stretch of a deep rebuild, and the d backs are pretty decent. They don’t have a great farm and they don’t have any tradeable talent at the big league level. Best move they can do now is sign some veterans to 1 year deals hoping to flip them at the trade deadline for prospects. Rinse and repeat a couple years until the farm is stocked, then start adding real big league talent.

[@matschrampferbass]

@@FizzyCape Good answer man, I agree 100%

Brilliant work. The sad fact is that house leagues and club teams and Legion Ball have given way to AAU and traveling teams. The expenditures are astronomical and only rich kids can navigate this without assistance. Pitching injuries are universal and therefore pitching mechanics need to be rethought completely. drmikemarshall.com
