Maybe they are getting class lessons from that douchebag who grabbed Betts’s glove.
Good grief, we haven’t even got to spring training yet, and already Rendon is out for an extended time because of hip surgery. Why did 2019 have to be his only healthy year?
Yankees are finally allowing grown men to decide for themselves if they want to have a beard or not
That’s actually kinda disappointing. Players should suffer if they choose to be a Yankee.
Chandler Rome and Tyler Stafford have a podcast I have stumbled onto. They have a great interview in their most recent episode with Oz Ocampo former Astros director of international scouting and current teacher at Rice - the class “Global Sports Strategy, Management and Negotiation.” It sounds like a great class to take!
If I was back in Houston I would audit that class
No kidding!
I’ve really enjoyed this podcast since it started. Rome is very good. Josh Reddick brings some good insight from his playing days. Stafford……isn’t my cup of tea.
The episode with Ocampo was great. Didn’t realize he was teaching at Rice. Saw a post on X where he was talking about Houston and a possible NHL team. Said he’d scout far and wide for talent to build a powerhouse. He did say he wants to get back into sports at some point. Wish the Astros would get him back.

I’m starting as an intern with BP today.
That’s awesome!
Holy shit congrats!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Do they have an opening for Grumpy Old Man? I may be looking for a new job soon.
Very cool! We need people on the inside to drive the Astro narrative! Or I guess you could just talk baseball….
Do they have an opening for NotGrumpy Old Man? I may be looking for a new job soon.
My gallows humor view is that they’ll just hire you back a few weeks after they realize it’s a mistake
Congrats!
