Why does this keep happening? And why do I crack up every single time?

I mean, there's a [expletive] umlaut over the y. That's impressive.

The responses can be great too.

I really like that @rhizgawaaww is a Twitter handle.

Hey, 14 more followers than I have.

In an almost identical amount of PAs as Kyle Schwarber, former Cub all glove/no hit IF Andres Blanco has a .929 OPS vs. .957 for Schwarbs. What the heck?

I mean, Amaro and Stewart are probably worse, but come on.

Wooooo team chemistry....

We can put all kinds of numbers on players’ talent, from RBI to WAR, to ERA to FIP, but when it comes to the heart and soul of a clubhouse, there remains no measuring stick.

“The numbers guys can’t quantify that one,’’ Lackey said, “so they don’t want to believe in it.’’

Whoa, I had no idea that Joc Pedersen had fallen off a cliff. So much that the Dodgers benched him...

Joc sucks too

Bah, you beat the edit.

Bah, you beat the edit.

He's having a really weird season. Even in the past month or so while his BA is barely over 100, his OBP has still been up around 400. In just August games, he's at 122/413.

His decline has been really weird, I'll try to find the article I read yesterday. But basically his BB/K% have stayed the same during his decline he just hasn't hit the ball hard at all. Like he was on Giancarlo level on hard hit balls to start with now he's basically hitting the ball as hard and often as Castro

B2B and SSR might have to find a new team

Curt’s tweet was completely unacceptable, and in no way represents our company’s perspective. We made that point very strongly to Curt and have removed him from his current Little League assignment pending further consideration.

That meme isn't even factually correct. Based on his experience running a company and with the state of Rhode Island, I wouldn't expect him to understand math.

Aaron_Kennelly · August 25, 2015

When reached out for comment, ESPN said this, "What Curt posted on twitter is incredibly offensive, and, as a result, we have decided to suspend Keith Law indefinitely."
