The Grand Master for the Parade is Chris Sabo.
Looking forward to seeing Spuds on the float. He better be sporting his goggles.

1988 Rookie of the Year
3x All Star

Cursed with bad knees, he only had 4 season where he played over 100 games and his entire career only lasted 9 season.

Despite his short career, he is still considered one of the Reds greats because of his gritty play and IDGAF attitude. Dude drove a 1981 Ford Escort with 300k miles on it to the games even after he was making big league money. Respect.

Wasn't his bat.
The batboy brought him that bat mid-AB.

You can hear the pitch before the bat spewed cork all over the infield like Ron Jeremy's jizz in Fuzzy Bump Busters IV that it sounded like it broke. There's no way if he knew it was a corked bat that he would have risked taking another cut with it.

But Spuds served his 7-game suspension and refused to name the player that the bat actually belonged to.
Respect.

as a Red Sox fan I knew giving him 313 mil was a huge mistake, head case, absolutely terrible at defense and who is very good offensively but not Judge or Soto great
He'll come around. He's a solid bat.
To your point - he isn't Soto or Judge. But he's a .350 OBP guy who will get you 30 HRs a year.

With Bregman in Boston you probably don't need to worry about Devers glove, do you? Assuming he's DH. Although typically you want more than 30 bombs and a 350 OBP from your DH.

I don't follow the Red Sox so I was unaware of the head case stuff.

Watching Reds / Giants

Giants pitcher Robbie Ray grunts with every pitch like he's Rafael Nadal.

He's perfect through 5. Jinx activated.

Reds trail by 1.

Jinx worked.

Lux with first hit of the game.
Followed by back-to-back dingers and a walk.

The Grunting Robbie Ray has been fired from this game...

I don't get how these mediocre numbers warrant 300mil guaranteed. Dude is fat, almost 30 (probably is already) and isn't going to get better. Contracts should contain more clauses

Devers is 0-2 so far. Bottom of the 5th.
2 K's

In 16 ABs he has 12 Ks.

That is really, really bad.

Roman, they build around him. He’s their boy.
They have pissed him off in recent years by signing fuck all players. Let them work it out, but without him they are completely fukt. I love the guy
Sincerely,

Biggest Red Sox fan you will ever know
