Dave JaussBase running is the hardest thing in baseball because it requires reacting to nine people at once
Third base coach is the closest to being a player as a coach. You are because you have to react as a base runner... base running is the hardest thing. And as hard as it is to hit, base running changes every pitch and you are involved every pitch and you have to react off of nine people, not just the pitch in one person.

PFT CommenterThe Home Run Derby has become way too complicated with clocks and Statcast data
The only reason I care about [the Home Run Derby rules] is because they took what was quite literally the simplest competition in sports, which is hit ball over fence... and then they put a clock in it. They added extra time based on a Statcast. They started measuring exit velocity. Timeouts should never be incorporated into the Home Run Derby. It's a very simple process.
Big CatBig Ben's year 18 diet is just a relatable attempt to outrun aging
I likened it to, after a long weekend of drinking and eating terrible food. And you say to yourself, you know what, I'm going to eat a salad on Monday. Everything will I'll maybe do 20 pushups. Wow. I'm back. That's what Big Ben is doing as a career where he spent 17 years eating PF Chang and doing whatever he wants. And then year 18. He's like, why is Tom Brady playing still? Oh, because he eats healthy. You know what, honey, get me a vegetable.
PFT CommenterBen Roethlisberger's new diet is actually just the TB12 method but more strict
The report was that [Ben Roethlisberger] is doing the TB12 method. Except the Ben Roethlisberger method is more strict than the TB12 method. It's basically like no meat before breakfast. He's probably going to see how long he can fast.

This club got so confident out of beating the Yankees four straight. And at that time that American League East made you better than anybody else, because they were the best division in baseball by a decent step... Unless we were going to play the Yankees again in seven or another AL East team, that team was going to dominate whoever they played in. And it did.
Dave JaussIf your BP arm is healthy, you'll always have a job in baseball
I think it's my arm. Because as long as you throw really good BP, you'll always have a job. I never say it's up here. Maybe it's my heart a little bit, but the arm, because I always say if that arm goes today... I'll either be the Mets bobblehead or Wally the Green Monster.
