Beards are causing baseball injuries because the face is connected to the elbow

My who's back is baseball injuries 'cause Garrett Cole's out for the year... Bad Tommy John. They should never change the rules about shaving your face. Like this, this would not have happened if he was clean shaven. That's true. That's your, your face. Your face is connected to your shoulder, to your elbow.

There is no medical evidence linking facial hair to ulnar collateral ligament tears.

Juan Soto will sign with the Boston Red Sox

I'm seeing some tweets. I'm seeing some reports... Juan Soto's sister looking at apartments in Boston... Mick Kirk Han guy reported that he's a hundred percent signing with the Red Sox... I've just convinced myself we're getting Soto.

Juan Soto eventually signed with the New York Mets, not the Red Sox.

Signing Aaron Judge to a mega-deal was a mistake

Build around Aaron Judge. ... I don't know if you wanna build around Aaron Judge. He's like 32 isn't he? They just signed him to a mega deal. I know that was a mistake. ... He's gonna be 32 before next season. Okay. Whew. And he's got like 14 years left on his contract.

Judge won the 2024 AL MVP and had an all-time great season, making the 'mistake' label look very early.

The Phillies will sweep their three home games and win the World Series without returning to Houston

I love my guys. We're gonna win the next three games. We won't even go back to Houston. ... We're gonna score so many runs this week.

The Phillies won Game 3 but lost Games 4 and 5 at home, eventually losing the series in 6 games in Houston.

The Red Sox are going to win the World Series

I mean, the Red Sox, I think they're going to win the World Series at this point. I think everything that happens... doesn't it feel like they have those weird vibes going now?

The Red Sox lost in the ALCS to the Houston Astros. The Atlanta Braves won the World Series.

Tony La Russa will win MLB Manager of the Year

He's gonna win manager of the year. It's going to be so funny when that happens and everyone's going to be [pissed].

Kevin Cash (AL) and Gabe Kapler (NL) won the awards in 2021. La Russa was a finalist but did not win.

Defensive teams should score a run if they turn a triple play.

Actually, I think you should be able to get a run for a triple play. On defense, you should be able to score a run if you get a triple play... give us what the fans want, and that's defensive runs.

Hot TakeBaseballHotSarcastic
MLB rules do not currently allow defensive teams to score runs via putouts.

The Chicago Cubs prospect Jesus Camargo was likely a front for a drug cartel

Jesus Camargo was arrested after police found 21 pounds of meth in his team equipment bag... Is this something that's an organizational thing where he was assigned to do that? I wouldn't put it past Ricketts to make money any which way. It would not shock me. It'd actually be good for baseball if the Chicago Cubs were just straight up like the Juarez cartel.

There is no evidence that the Chicago Cubs organization was involved in meth trafficking.

Bartolo Colon is definitely going to return to MLB

So he [Bartolo Colon] is going to be back. It's a pre-laden back. I saw a tweet saying that he was signed with the Tigers, and then everyone's like, that's fake news... but he is going to be back.

Bartolo Colon's last MLB game was in 2018. He played in the Mexican League thereafter but never returned to MLB.

Albert Pujols is the best Angel of all time

3,000 hit club, Albert Pujols, Los Angeles Angels. Probably the best angel of all time, right? [PFT:] Angel for life. [Big Cat:] Move on. Best angel going into Cooperstown with that bronze angel hat.

OpinionBaseballHotSarcastic
Pujols is an all-time great but universally recognized as a St. Louis Cardinal, and Mike Trout (and later Ohtani) far surpassed his impact as an Angel.

Tim Tebow will play in the Major Leagues

Tim Tebow is back big time... their GM said that he thinks that Tim Tebow will play at the major league level. This is ridiculous. And you know what? Why not? If you're the Mets, I actually think it's borderline negligence that they haven't had Tim Tebow play in a major league game yet.

Tim Tebow reached Triple-A Syracuse in 2019 but retired in 2021 without ever appearing in a Major League game.

I almost got a tattoo of Javier Baez on the back of my neck after seeing his slide against the Blue Jays.

Javi Baez had such a good slide for the Cubs to win an extra inning... In that time, I almost got myself an El Mago tattoo. ... Maybe on the back of my neck like his MLB tattoo.

Big Cat did not actually get an El Mago neck tattoo.
