Who cares about RBI's, how many HDB's you got?

by kcscoliny on Jul 9, 2008 9:14 PM EDT   0 recs

I'm not in first, but I'm

improving!

Hm… that sounds familiar….

by powderbluepower on Jul 9, 2008 9:16 PM EDT   0 recs

He just needs to learn how to do the little things better

and execute on the fundamentals, and then he’ll be able to be first on a regular basis.

Well

I am on a slow, 7 semesters of 9 hours each night classes to get my MBA…. so since I am about 3 semesters in, is that like Aviles becoming my starter instead of TPJ, or am I farther ahead?

by powderbluepower on Jul 9, 2008 9:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Aviles really fits in with this team of hackers

Interesting

Seems like when the wheels fall off for Banny, they stay off. But tonight, he came back with a 1-2-3.

Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.

by jonfmorse on Jul 9, 2008 9:23 PM EDT   0 recs

I don't think that was the wheels falling off like we usually see

I think he just made a conscious decision to groove one to Quentin over walking him.

by slayor on Jul 9, 2008 9:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Eh, throw a strike to Quentin and let him put it in play

Where the worse possible result is 2 runs, or walk him and set up the big inning? Even if you groove a pitch, the majority of the time an out is going to be made.

the strike zone is a big thing....

he is a major league pitcher….you should be able to put it somewhere besides middle middle…you just should

TPJ...you're dead to me

by billybeingbilly on Jul 9, 2008 9:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

THe pitch wasn't exactly middle middle, but it sure wasn't on the corner

There is definitely difference between aiming for the corner and trying to throw a strike.

Why are we besmirching the legacy of Joe Randa

by using Joker pictures in reference to Alex?

Even more unexcusable was walking Swisher before Quentin
