It really pisses me off Arod is a good color analyst kinda guy.
He was really good on Shark Tank too. My brain is having trouble wrapping itself around this new reality.

A-Rod becoming sorta likable in his post-MLB career is not something that I foresaw. To say the least. But, here we are.

Puig back to his old shit of not hustling or being stupid or both.
It looked like he didn't see it go off Bregman's glove and he ran through the bag trying to beat a throw.

It was probably too loud for the base coach to let him know or stop him before he took off for second.

It is bizarre. Every time he says something reasonable and thought out, I have to remind myself that I still hate him.

At home, Puig probably knows the ball isn't fielded because he probably hears a big cheer and know to look instead of running through the base with his head down.

Most players look over once or twice to see what’s going on on a play like that. If he did look, he had a double.

The Astros have obviously played great the last couple of games, but the Dodgers have hit some rockets that ended up being outs. Just not going their way at the moment.

Although that one wasn't hit as hard as the home plate mic made it sound.

The cradle of the game.
Really. If bad jokes go the way of being considered harassment, I'm screwed.
Already there in the workplace... any unwanted sexual advances is considered harassment by employment law. Even the old “either it’s cold in here or you’re happy to see me” line will get you fired.

Oh, I'm more than capable of making terrible jokes that aren't off color:

"I was thinking of doing a movie about the natural processing of olives. I was going to call it Ferrous Gluconate's Day Off"

Haven't caught up with the thread but did I see Guerriel doing the racist asian eyes thing by pulling your eyes back with your fingers during the 2nd inning?

While meanwhile an infield topper scores a runner from first for the Astros.

Just when you think people know better, that stuff re-emerges,
Watching it again, it's just so confusing how people can think that stuff is cool. Even racism aside, player-to-player, you're making fun of another player because of a physical attribute. What's wrong with you?

Who knows. I bet racial shit is more common in clubhouses than we would like to think. I mean some of these guys are pretty stunted in their social emotional development. For all we know he's just tapping into some racist crap that was going around with a teammate or two before the game about hitting the Asian pitcher and the camera caught a continuation of pregame horseshit. It didn't seem like anyone on the bench got after him about it, though they may not have noticed.
