Pablo this is his first game so you can have a mulligan, but this is Vinnie, this is not Vinny.

Do you call him Paul Mahomes? GET IT RIGHT.

People told me I was INSANE and DRUNK and HIGH ON PCP when I drafted BWJ over Corey Seager. I see Corey Seager is batting <.220 with his obvious 0 stolen bases and his less obvious not-many-HRs and BWJ is way better already, as predicted.

Also, this Heasley character is 4 times the pitcher Bubic is.

i TALKED TO VINNY TODAY

[Vladimir_Kyrilytch]

Good god John Gray lurks CP and he saw what I said about him and he's PISSED. That's my bad guys. This is the best I've ever seen him look and I can't help but feel responsible.

[PHOG]

Nice throw MJ!

Hardest hit DP I’ve seen in years!

[Vladimir_Kyrilytch]

Damn Vinnie looks formidable in the box. He looks like Chase Utley if Chase Utley was on steroids and way bigger. A way bigger Utley.

I for one am very excited.

Hosmer is a jerk. Did you know that he tried to big time Eno Sarris, the fangraphs baseball writer? It didn't occur to him that baseball writers can write things about the baseball players they interact with. So Sarris said what Hosmer did, which was just locker room clown shit that he didn't have the standing to pull off against a BBWA writer. I support Sarris on that. If Hosmer is gonna try to bully a baseball writer in the clubhouse, he's gonna get bad press over it, and people are gonna hate him forever over it.

Heasley ain't no Helsley. He ain't even a Heaney.
