It wasn't on my list for our NYC trip but it is now. That looks ridiculously good.

I think Arraez is underrated. I just disagree with the industry

For me, this is the new Petrino "Doesn't matter, had sex" meme. The gift that keeps on giving.

Rosters are always fluid but after most of the dust of training camp has settled, here's where our NFL Buckeyes stand 1 week before the opener..

9-2-2026 update = 65 NFL Buckeyes - 37 starters

9ers have probably had the craziest offseason ever. Head coach in a serious car crash where he was lucky it wasn't worse, owner in a prostitution sting, receiver having a public nervous breakdown, a scammer pretending to play for them and stealing money, their starting defensive end got shot

Hector Rodriguez is one of the few bright sports this season. He looks like he will at least be a solid starting corner outfielder, which is something they need desperately.

I just dont understand what happened to contact hitters. Guys like Arroyo drive me insane. He has absolutely no power but he also takes huge swings and strikes out all the time. 0 homers and 37 K's in 150 ABs is ridiculous

as far as contact hitters, just look at Luis Arraez. He is the best in the business over the past 5-6 years and he's been on what? 5 teams? (Minn, Miami, Padres, Giants, Phillies) He's on a 1 year deal for ~$12MM

Powerless contact has limited value overall.

Arroyo is just a terrible hitter, not the poster child of guys who should be contact oriented.

I'll buy into Hector Rodriguez, like all promising rookies, when I see him make the adjustment after the pitchers make their adjustments and he has a bad spell. Elly and Sal passed that test, the rest of them have not.

Well the scammer was pretending to be a receiver, so…

Problem solved!
