This isn’t 2003 where Baseball Tonight was must-watch for highlights across the league. Maybe it is because our guys deserve credit for an amazing achievement? Being on ESPN is important for brand exposure as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, our guys deserve credit for working hard and accomplishing something many thought they wouldn't this season. It's not simply a missed number or year. The lead for our game was Donaldson getting tossed out. The guys and organization deserve this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally it doesn't bother me too much because I stopped watching ESPN years ago...but it really does seem to be deliberate at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means something to our guys as well because Tim called them out on it. At this point, we are trying to become a big boy in this league with name recognition. It sucks but ESPN is a part of that, as they are the big sports network worldwide. This is why i really appreciate Jose Abreu, who has done a great job recruiting and adding class and respect to our name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we are going to have a long wonderful ride with these guys, but Abreu will only be there for the beginning. I would have never dreamt that in 2014 that It would be 6 years for him to make the playoffs, and that it may not have happened. That guy is what sports are about. 6 years we’ve watched him. 6 years we’ve over analyzed and blamed him for not being perfect. And now when the team May have needed him both least and most he took the bull by the ducking horns and blasted this team to the best in the AL. Fuck. Yeah. Jose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
