Plenty of rec league soccer teams

Me too. Enjoying the shade in the upper deck as I was gifted tix last minute by family. Should not have carried on off and on like that for like 10 min

Fighting in the bleachers is so embarrassing, even more so now that it's been continuing for about 8 min

But he's just a blood-thirsty geograpist

He's no mccann

Moncada with the usual grimace as his body made the slightest contact with the tarp

Reynaldo fuckin Lopez

Ayyy

Yeah but to be fair that's just all of eloy'sredgloves posts this time around

Cannot come soon enough

When is stone pony coming back?!?

We will never know with the shitty Toronto camera angles

He's clearly not 100%. Grimaced per usual when running the bases.

This camera work is fuckin awful

So the usual

Lack of focus is on the manager too

Literally makes no sense to trade for him and then not allow him to do what you traded him for

Fuck la russa

I wanted to get a Tim field of dreams shirsey but I'm not seeing it available? I see Robert, Moncada, and Eloy. Did it sell out or did they drop the ball and not even make one? He's a Nike guy now so where is it??

Then why did you post it?

Raining at the moment

Often is a bit of a stretch

Fair enough. I agree completely that he must have put in a good amount of effort because his conversational English and pronunciations sound really good. I also wouldn't be surprised that he may have potentially been exposed to English at an earlier age and/or maybe enjoys a lot of English media. But yeah, I disagree that most Latino players just don't try. Anecdotally, in my early 20s I worked at a community center for a bit and taught ESL to adult immigrants. Unsurprisingly, learning a new language as an adult is really, really hard. Some picked up on it a little more quickly, with varying amounts of effort. Many were very shy about speaking it publicly, which is how I suspect it must be for a lot of ballplayers. I'm sure most pick up a decent amount of English living here for so long with varying amounts of fluency. But let's be honest, not just anyone has the type of personality like Eloy to put themselves out there with the kind of spotlight pro athletes get.

What made you make that assumption out of curiosity?

Watching the postgame show, and Eloy's English has gotten reallyyy good. Like almost better than Ozzie good lol
