Bautista probably would not have run on you either if he hadn't seen you throw previously.
-
In between.
-
I wouldn't ooh and ahh over that play too much. It was little more than an IF popout. Edit: And there is a 36 year old on 3rd base.
-
The era of physics in baseball! LOL!! Most baseball players can't even add.
-
Betts has been a complete flop since May. No power. No production. No threat.
-
And OB, who announces every game every season, needed stats to prove that to him. Once again, the numbers have supported my opinion that I formed on day one before there were stats for the season.
-
Basically, Mr. Dweeb is pointing out what many of us have been saying here -- that we have no one in our lineup that scares a pitcher. There is no star.
-
lol!!
-
Such a sexist!
-
Hopefully, the punishment is that Farrell gets suspended for the rest of the season.
-
How could Farrell not know? If he didn't know about it, that is an indictment of him not being in control of things.
-
That is worse than I thought.

Sometimes it can be a pain in the neck getting them in sync. If I am watching them through MLB.com they have the functionality where you can chose the radio feeds as an overlay and that is synced. If I have to sync my TV with the computer radio feed, it is more difficult. Direct TV has a slower feed than the computer, so I can't sync them. Cable is faster and you can use the pause feature to slow it up to match the radio feed. Sometimes I just throw up my hands and listen to the radio feed and turn off the TV or I watch the TV with the sound off.

Seriously, shame on all of us? Most of us didn't even post about her, never mind say anything sexist. Shame on you for playing the part of the victim and generalizing about everyone else.
-
Mendoza is a terrible announcer. There is nothing sexist about that. Boone is horrible too. They form a mutual admiration society in the booth and they always pick out 1 or 2 players who they gush over for 9 innings regardless of whether those players have any impact on that game. ESPN had a great pitching analyst Curt Schilling who they fired for political reasons. Their booth is terrible now. I stream the radio feed, because I can't listen to them.

i said nothing about managers being fungible in that post so don't go trying to justify your attempt to be snarky and to troll an old argument. If you want to discuss something in a serious manner, fine, but f***off with your lame attempt at snark. At least own up to being snarky instead of lame explanations.
-
But that is not what you addressed in your post. You just had a snarky comment to make. I said "sometimes change for change sake is good". I disagree that it "rarely if ever" works. It works if an attitude of complacency has set in. It can also energize an organization, but you are free to disagree.
-
As I said in the post that you quoted, sometimes change for change sake is good. It shakes things up in the organization and gets people on their toes. But I guess that you just had a wise-crack that you wanted to get out there and didn't bother to read what I wrote.
-
Dig down to find something extra.
-
I noticed the j/k, but couldn't resist the opportunity to call him a fat slob. LOL!!
-
I said that Betts was a top defender. But he is not at Bradley's level. I don't think Bogaert's D is as bad as you make it out to be. He does have more trouble going to his right than he has going into the hole. His arm is strong and consistent.
-
I don't think calling him a fat slob is disrespectful, just descriptive. I was listening to the Colorado radio broadcast of the Giants game the other day and they were discussing his weight problem. The Giants are admitting to 255 lbs for the 5'10" Pablo. So, we know immediately that he is probably more than 255. What had he weighed in his belt-busting days before he got in such "great" shape? Goodness, how did he think that he could play MLB at such a weight?
-
Farrell is not going to get fired in September. Finding a suitable replacement for next season should not be difficult at all. There are plenty of qualified candidates waiting for an opportunity. And sometimes change for change sake isn't a bad idea when the manager being replaced adds no value.
-
I ageee. I think we are looking at ruined career -- the way that Bill Buckner was permanently hobbled by an ankle injury and the same thing happened to Tommy Davis in the 1960's. Bobby Valentine was a big talent, and his career was ruined by a lower leg injury. The difference with Tommy Davis and Buckner was that those guys were MVP type hitters. Valentine was not. His game was his legs and his fielding. Swihart similarly is not a great offensive player. His value was as a catcher. If his catching days are over, at age 26, it is probably very close to the time to part ways.

The missed opportunity was letting Lovullo go. He is doing a great job in Arizona. They just beat up LA pretty badly.
