Well, it's only the first start of the year, but Nolasco needs to figure out what the hell he is doing out there. Leaving tons of pitches up. I've seen him throw about two really good pitches.

How's it going Brian?

 

The city repaved my alley last year, so now all the snowmelt runs right into my backyard. It took me 3 days to pump it all out.

Then Bert tells us "Good inning by Nolasco."

<hands snepp a beer> You need to get caught up.

Too late for beer just based on the relief trips alone. Time to man up and break out the biofuel, snepp.

Was that a Dive?

 

I was expecting to Mauer to look at the camera and say "Live From New York... it's Saturday Night"!!!

On Replay...

 

We have the technology to decifer the exact trajectory of a pitch, including the number of rotations and the degree of movement. Yet, it is not used to improve ball/strike calls. I will never understand the resistance to this. Who is this silent majority that derives so much pleasure from an umpire guessing at borderline pitches?

"I can't wait for Correia to pitch on Wednesday" Said no one ever.

[ashbury]

That's good, right?

 

It's positively out of this world.

Send it all to Chief. He don't have none.

I blame Mauer's pitch framing.

The umpires themselves don't want it.

Real basement dwellers don't have windows.

Probably, but to be safe we should wait to see what his xWHIP was, so we know if he was just getting lucky or not...

When I lived in Chicago, we used to call US Cellular Field "The Cuze". Mainly because Joan Cusak was everywhere with US Cellular ads that summer, that and it just sort of had a nice ring to it.

[twinscowboysbulls]

Is it 2015 yet?

[Riverbrian]

Real basement dwellers don't have windows.

 

I can relate... I think visibility right now is 17 inches. I paid money for this window and right now... I'm getting very little value.

[alskntwnsfn]

Surprise surprise. I'm sure the auto-workers union wasn't crazy about replacing workers with robots either.

Where's the "thumbs down/jealous button"?

 

 

Just to be clear: that was actually from a hike last summer. The view out my window is pine trees.

Steve Stone is the dullest TV announcer of all time. I'm having a difficult time staying awake.

 

Although I did just get revived a little when he said Jason Kubel was one of the fastest guys in the Twins organization before he hurt his knee. What??????
