I will have to DVR the next Orioles series to preserve the event if it happens.
-
Did you entertain yourself with that incoherent babble? If I lost half of my brain cells, I could get your act down pat.
-
I would love to see Showalter get the snot pounded out of him.
-
Unfortunately, too many skulls of mush swallow this garbage, incorporate it and then regurgitate it in knee jerk reflex.
-
Spud, you can turn a phrase with the best of them. LOL!!
-
Major nerd! But no pocket protector.
-
At least he hasn't called you anti-stat or anti-stathead. LOL!! He is just calling you a "denier." He likes to pin labels on people even though he misunderstands their positions.
-
You would be wrong this time. I have a BA, JD and an LLM in Taxation, getting my last degree at age 28.
-
Joe Morgan. And he was tough and gritty, and so was Hal McRae. He was as tough as they come. Oops, I said "they". Please know that I was referring to all ballplayers. LOL!
-
So was Cesar Tovar who played all 9 positions in one game. If we cared to take the time, we could think of a list of blacks and Latinos who were tough gamers or crafty pitchers, but the universe of black and Latino players is a minority and most have to be top athletes to get noticed and make the majors. Not many make it on grit or toughness-'- so we are talking about a minority of a minority.

It's what is taught in University that all sorts of innocent terms (I.e., microaggressions) are subconsciously racist or sexist. It is nonsense.
-
I didn't hear his post game comments. What did he say? What he said in the dugout didn't sit right with me.
-
I have a different view on this matter,. The term isn't racially charged imo. I think it is a function of Latino and black players having a tougher road to the major leagues. If they aren't top athletes with 4 or 5 big tools, they don't make it, so not many fit the "gritty" description. The term is not racially charged. It just isn't applicable to most black and Latino players. Gritty Latinos don't make it to the show.

Red Sox hitters should be light on their feet in the batter's box this inning.
-
Poorly executed, but they were attempting to protect their guy. Why would Pedroia disavow what they did?
-
Tough gritty SOBs don't get intimidated when they are thrown at.
-
Reading Pedroia's lips he looked to have said, " it's not me. It's them." Who is them?
-
What is Buck doing out on the field? Can't pitchers figure out how to drill a guy?
-
Fatboy sprained his knee and has been removed from the game.
-
Pirates just botched a game ending DP ball. Yanks have bases loaded and one out down 2-1.
-
lol!
-
No, I don't have a tape of that game. El Tiante was often referred to as "crafty" in his Boston days. He was never called "athletic". The description of his reinvention as a "crafty" pitcher is mentioned in this summary of a documentary about his life and career: https://m.facebook.com/notes/newbury-comics/some-good-news-for-red-sox-fans-a-luis-tiant-documentary/154383268929/

Price might disagree with you about this.
-
He definitely brought the criticism on himself.
-
Agrred, but I think DD has some work to do if the returns of Smith and Thornton get delayed.
