  1. Thanks for getting it right!
  2. Farrell has to go before it is too late.
  3. Are we leading the league in hitting into DPs?
  4. And on cue we hit into a DP with the bases loaded and no outs.
  5. Barnes in to showcase his HR pitch.
  6. It slow and boring -- an uninspiring bunch
  7. More stupid defense by the Red Sox.
  8. Tomato can, punching bag, bum, pig etc. There are many terms to describe pitchers like Kendrick. Let me be clear that none of those terms disparage his character. I hope the next term that is associated with him is DFA'd.
  9. We should just put a plastic bucket at the 3B position and if the batter hits it he's out.
  10. I thought d'Arnaud would be dead. He was just hitting 3rd when the guy fielded the ball.
  11. I had no idea that he has that kind of speed.
  12. I remember the post about the unusually high bounce. Did Bells see that or did he read about it?
  13. Have there been any murmurings orstories about juiced baseballs. I love Benintendi's bat, but he hit a 438 foot bomb the other day. That is Ortiz distance. Hanley has hit a couple over 440 -- one went 459. Players all around baseball are hitting mammoth shots. Stanton always hit big bombs, but he hit a ball at Citifield on Sunday that hit the window of the restaurant in the second deck in LF. That went 468. Thoughts.
  14. Pom doesn't have it tonight. oye!! Bombs away.
  15. Nava was clueless on the bases. I remember a Yankee game where he pulled a couple of rocks on the bases. I think he tagged up and tried to advance on a foul pop to the catcher behind home plate. You would just shake your head.
  16. Jake Arrieta is sucking this year. He is looking like the pitcher that we was with the Orioles.
  17. The Nats are managed by one of the alltime great managers.
  18. I am not sure what Farrell's philosophy is on using his closer, but he used kimbrel the right way on Sunday. I thought that he waited one batter too long to go to him. This was one of those games that needed saving in the 8th inning as the game was starting to slip away. Kimbrel has been lights out and got the key punch out with 1 out. We piled on an avalanche of runs in the 9th to put the game out of reach and kimbrel was not needed for the 9th inning so he did not get credited with the save. This just highlights the stupidity of the Save stat, because Kimbrel did save the game when it needed saving. Had the lead slipped away, the Twins would have used its pen differently in the 9th inning and maybe we don't score at all and lose the game. Will Farrell use Kimbrel like this in the future? I have no idea whether he will be consistent with this approach.
  19. Neither was I until we were about 2 weeks into the season.
  20. I blame a juiced baseball.
  21. The 2 best ERA pitchers face off against each other and 23 runs are scored. You can't figure out this game.
  22. You can get him for an injured relief pitcher.
  23. He had 4 strong months out of 6 in 2016 and one of those months was excellent.
