A colleague and I noticed this, too, and he even went so far as to label it "Stepford positivity." I get that it'd look bad in their upcoming job searches to publicly shirt on the Four-Letter, but damn, it all comes across as over the top. I'm sure there are non-disparagement clauses in their...

John Hurt no more.

I was going to call it a new world record.

I don't cover Major League Baseball, but I got blocked by a shortstop I'll only identify as a starter for a National League team, apparently because I pointed out he struck out on in the 9th innings of consecutive games. So, yeah, there are definitely some rabbit-eared people out there.

What he's saying, to me, was that in college, he could get an 0-2 or 1-2 count and bounce a curveball because he'd know the hitters would swing at them. The "pitching to contact" happens in the bigs because the instruction there is, instead of wasting a pitch trying to get a swing and a miss...

I don't think he loves the Drake.
