Fuck!
I’ve been watching the CWS broadcast, and I forgot to flip back in time for it.
Was it as fantastic as usual?
Yep.
Reminded us that if someone hits a grand slam OUT OF THE PARK, Sonic gives away $25,000.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

Maybe it's just me
An inside-the-park grand slam should be worth more than $25,000
I am Billy Butler's Gold Glove.
Chance of Olivo starting the overflow with a K?

Cleveland came back on Toronto, up 6-4 in the bottom of the 9th.
It’s second-and-third, though. 2 outs.
Excitingness all around.

Richard picks off a lot of runners because of his "near" balk move
He has been called a balk once, but the other 2 or 3 times have been pickoffs
Obama is half white/half black.
Not my words
But according to Steve Stone, he said it is not a balk because of the natural hitch in his leg, and as long as he straightens his leg toward 1st, it is not a balk. He said the head fake to home is what get the runners and sometimes the umpire.
Obama is half white/half black.
well, that makes sense.
I don’t really know what constitutes a balk, I was just going off of what Frank White said.
So, Frank White vs. Steve Stone deathmatch.
not really,
by rule the pitcher is supposed to step towards the bag he is throwing to.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
He does, as long as his front leg does not cross back over the trail leg
It’s really a complicated rule, and I don’t fully understand it, but I believe Steve Stone who was an ex-pitcher. If it was Hawk saying it, I would be a lot more skeptical.
Obama is half white/half black.
So you're trying to say that if a pitcher has a hitch in his leg kick,
he can cross his back leg?
No, he is supposed to step directly towards the bag. Read through the balk rule and there is no mention of 45 degrees.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Well, like I said, I am not the expert
and I won’t be able to argue it if i don’t fully know the rule. I am just going by what Steve Stone said, and if he got away with it 3 times, it must not just be Stone.
Obama is half white/half black.

Works for me,
lefties get away with it often. Petitte was great at it.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
he's got a 45 degree angle...so he doesn't have to directly step to first
but i think it was his upper body leaning towards home that got Frank thinking it was a balk.

The difference is that Baker is a #4ish starter, without looking up numbers to prove my point.

That was one of Zack's best pitches of the season.
Ohmygoodness, that was disgusting.
And I think it was a GREAT call for Ryan and Frank to shut up and let the crowd noise tell the story. Ryan usually talks over those moments, but that was impressive.
A moment like that, with a pitch like that, just needs to be left to the fans.
It was motherfucking unreal.

Hey, look what happens when he only hits against righties.
It really isn’t shocking.
Why couldn’t we grab him and, say, Chris Shelton and mash them together for our DH spot?
And with the Mariners possessing Chris Shelton...
I can’t believe they chose Sweeney over him for the MLB roster.
Maybe Shelton isn’t as good as the numbers say, but that is shocking.

Swisher = my fantasy savior.
just saying
much rather have the flexibility to play him at one of my 3 OF spots and Util rather than stick him at 1B, David Ortiz not playing 1B in interleague really screwed me.

neither TPJ nor Hernandez serves as purpose on the roster
if Bloomquist can play SS. Probably not even if he can’t.
I’d say Hernandez is TPJ without the glove, except he’s even a worse hitter.
Former Braves rule, I guess.
Shealy’s three weeks at AAA don’t mean anything
