    With rare exceptions like Bogut that is stage managed at least for the stars.

    Or it's just a faster paced game that is more relatable to a world that has Internet 24/7 and hugging [uppies on social does not have anything to do with it.

    I thought that was a really inappropriate thing for Manfred to say. What possible reason could he have for alienating Trout?? Trout does everything right and it's a little frustrating he's not more marketable, but the mistake of the MLB has been their alienation of marketable players. They absolutely crushed Puig who was a marketing dream. They've been down on guys with flair at the plate with the bat flipping nonsense. The MLB's marketing problem isn't Mike Trout, it's their stuffy marriage to their old school ways.

    Way off on a tangent. :D And I do realize I'm defending your point and not mine. I just think it's really neat that these days your favorite player is basically a Tweet away.

    I thought it was the Suns medical staff who were the league's best, not the Spurs. So this is not any surprise to me.

    You're absolutely right. They were able to get that geriatric squad led by Steve Nash and what's his bucket to be healthy. I remember Shaq even saying during his time there that the Suns medical staff was the best in the biz and that was one of the reasons he went there...

    We know that but 'this level of negligence is f****** breathtaking'. (Westworld fans will recognize that quote from Season 1 episode 7). ;)

    Always get a second opinion. You have the recourses to do so, and nobody says the team has your best interest in mind ahead of their own. Kawhi looks smarter every day, and the Spurs look foolish for trying to push him through the media and have their players talk crap about him.
