The Wife is more of a headline scanner than a regular reader around here, but she does occasionally peruse the Bullets so she can see what I put in this spot. And if she is today, I just want to say: you are awesome, dear. We’ve been together, what, 17 years or so at this point? Ups and downs and challenges and all that, but I think we’re doing pretty darn well. I know I’m lucky to have you in my life. Much love, G.

My point is, I appreciate that players are resisting the pitch clock, and that experience shouldn't be discounted. But if the pitch clock is good for fans — and I personally think it is — that should probably outweigh what current players think.

David Bote laughed at the "jacked" comments and said he's actually only up a couple pounds this spring and did less chest work this offseason than in years past.
It's more about "postural therapy" and he's less rounded and more "free." He said it's also helped with his mobility
