Matt Carpenter, a guy who showed up in the Yankees clubhouse in Tampa with nothing to lose, who said he would load the bags on the team plane if they asked, and attended his first hitters meeting in jeans, just got a standing ovation while coming to the plate in a Sox-Yanks game.

Gates opened to fans at 5 pm. The Yankees and MLB announced at 6:20 pm that the scheduled 7pm game would start in a delay. There were no official updates between the announcement of the delay and the announcement of the postponement at 9:35 pm. Awful.

Genuinely shocking to see this take end with a line about players representing the country “where their grandmothers got laid.” Edwin Diaz grew up in Puerto Rico and Freddie Freeman plays for Canada in remembrance of his late mother. Gross.

First Freddie Freeman, now Edwin Diaz. The WBC is a meaningless exhibition series designed to: get YOU to buy another uniform, to hell with the real season, and split up teammates based on where their grandmothers got laid. Call it off. Now.

Keith Olbermann calling my work “misleading and sloppy” because I used a higher threshold of games played at each position (which, btw, is the threshold the statisticians I consulted used) is one for the ages. The only thing sloppy here is mistaking pedantry for a personality.
