Not just kind of, complete bull shit. The only thing that might have made sense is to let him walk out to the plate, and then make the substitution like you sometimes see with pitchers, so that he can get a standing ovation.Kind of BS that he got pinch hit for in the ninth inning.
He said Snitker knew and he was the reason he came back to play this season. I don't think Snitker was being an a-hole, I'm sure everything was copacetic.Not just kind of, complete bull shit.

https://www.ajc.com/sports/baseball/brian-mccann-announces-his-retirement/f8wWJke84bQCry9ebp5eBK/#McCann came out in the ninth inning of Game 5 and shared a moment with manager Brian Snitker, who knew the backstop growing up in the organization and was aware of his looming retirement.
“I’ve known Snit for a long, long time,” McCann said. “He was my Double-A manager. To get a chance to do this with him, this is something I’ll always remember.”
Couldn’t happen to a bigger prick.Kind of BS that he got pinch hit for in the ninth inning.
Funny, I was thinking he was PH for so that he wouldn't make the final out of the series.Kind of BS that he got pinch hit for in the ninth inning.
I thought he was running for Congress in Arizona
If the Sox do this (which I doubt that they will), lose Mookie and JD this winter; I'm becoming a free agent.
It would have been better if he had hit a home run and had been prevented from touching home plate by the catcher. And then gets clocked in a brawl and has to leave on a stretcher.I won't shed a tear for that a-hole not getting a curtain call.
Speaking of assholes.
I wonder if he flew too soon after the surgery? The article doesn't say where he was operated on, but that he was recuperating in Iowa. I know wrestler Chris Candido died from complications that arose following routine surgery because he ignored doctors' orders and flew almost immediately after getting released from the hospital and wound up having blood clots as well, which ended up leading to his death.Blood clot was the cause of death
Had knee surgery earlier last week

Being covered in the Drake Takes the Cake thread.
Well I did put this here before he started that thread.Being covered in the Drake Takes the Cake thread.
Ah, apologies, I just saw it today and didn't think to check the timestamps.Well I did put this here before he started that thread.
they don’t want him back. Don’t have the roster space and are happy to collect the insurance checks at this point
They also each blew the game that eliminated their teams from the playoffs. So even if they weren't shitty people, their on field performance was weakest when it mattered most.espn:
Closers Aroldis Chapman of the New York Yankees and Josh Hader of the Milwaukee Brewers were named relievers of the year on Saturday.
Hader won the National League award, which is named for Trevor Hoffman, for the second straight season, and Chapman earned the American League award, named for Mariano Rivera. Both Hall of Famers were on the panel that voted for the awards, along with former relievers Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers, Lee Smith, John Franco and Billy Wagner.
Chapman and Hader ... fine upstanding citizens with impeccable backgrounds
One shot a hole in the wall after someone separated him from his girlfriend before something really bad happened; the other one made a couple horrendous tweets when he was 16 years old.espn:

OkayOne shit a hole in the wall after someone separated him from his girlfriend before something really bad happened; the other one made a couple horrendous tweets when he was 16 years old.
But yeah, let’s lump them together.
Because of deferred money, the present value is only about $88 million.Strasburg has opted out of his remaining 4/100, free agent now.
Yeah, I saw that later, no one does deferred money like NatsTown. Rendon supposedly recently turned down 7/210 from them but who knows what that means in NatsBucks?Because of deferred money, the present value is only about $88 million.
No he didn’t opt out and got a 1 year extension.So, he did opt out and got a 3 year deal to replace it. That makes a lot more sense than just sticking with the 2 year contract he had left.
So the Yankees gave him an extension out of the goodness of their hearts? Please.
