    So what? Italy wants him to play for them and so does he. As Drewski points out, having anyone step in and prevent this is not going to accomplish anything.

    Yeah, Shohei is the worst thing ever to happen to MLB and the Dodgers are ruining the game.

    I am not ashamed of liking a post that says: if you are invited by a national team to play for them and you accept, you should be allowed to play. In fact, that seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to propose, and I am baffled that anyone would object.

    What ridiculous counter? You're talking standard negotiations. Are you talking about what LAD paid him? The WS champion Dodgers? which was worth every nickel.

    But c'mon--it's just a pick-up sandlot team with a bunch of furriners--not a well-oiled machine like you find in every town in the u s OF a.

    I see the left-fielder for the best baseball team in the world picked up a couple of hits last night. How come we can't get guys like that?

    Wasn't it C. Augustus who didn't like to see 'his' months with fewer days than others so he stole one from February?

    There is NO excuse for dumping an MVP future hall of famer great citizen fan favorite. None. JH got a lot of money; we got a couple of years of a AAAA pornographer.

    not so aggressive that the catcher can roll a blunt waiting for you to arrive, but you're right--it's ST so it hardly matters.

    Ward looks like he's following the RS playbook on base-running.

    Did you hit yours? or did the irony circuit turn off? To be clear, In my view small -ball works best when the OTHER team is playing small ball as well, in which case, it is successful approxiimately 50% of the time. That is, I hate it, and others love it, and when we discuss it at this time of year when there's really nothing interesting to talk about (actual games), we sometimes border on the crazed.

    So are called 3rd strikes, weak ground balls, double-plays, pop-ups, balks, 'sacrifices' (but GOD Forbid--NO sacrifice credited if scorer decides the bunter was doing something so outrageous to small-ball philosophy as actually trying for a hit--one of the more preposterous scoring conventions in baseball; (I suppose by the same logic, with a runner on third and a guy hits a bomb caught at the 420 mark, he should NOT be credited with a sacrifice fly because he was so selfishly trying for a home run).

    In my experience, it is impossible to tell the difference between lying and error. You never know what is going on in someone else's mind; furthermore, it's difficult to tell what's going on in your own. When you speak, as public figures always do, in your own self-interest, that's all that matters, and determining whether you are lying or simply wrong is impossible.

    George! What have you done to Moon?
  15. jad
    When did George Costanza join TalkSox?
  16. jad
    He shoulda bunted!! Anyone with even an ounce of baseball savvy can see that. how are you going to play small ball if guys keep hitting dingers?

    AGAIN Duran fails to take advantage of his speed. Shees. What's the use? If he won't learn the fundamentals, DFA him.
  18. jad
    Story and Duran obviously have no clue, not playing small ball as they should.
  19. jad
    small ball, blessedly, is not coming back. Because not enough fans want to see it. There's nothing quite as meh as watching a bunch of guys take a third strike. We don't need baseball to become soccer.
  20. jad
    Small-ball would really have turned todays game around.

    My father's favorite player! (or maybe he just loved repeating the name.). In tribute to him, he (dad) would always try to catch pop ups one-handed at his waist. (Not sure Rabbit did that, but my father had a lot of fun pretending he did.)
  22. jad
    I didn't even get that.
  23. jad
    No broadcast today?
  24. jad
    Damn, you guys are young!
  25. jad
    Well that third of an inning had not much to recommend it.
