Robbery

I hate the Tigers jerseys

 

I was only mildly annoyed with them when Magnum P I was on the air.

Re: the thread on Dozier's baserunning, he took a nice cruise into third base here in the third. Nothing extraordinary, nothing a lot of other players wouldn't have done, but good gracious, he runs the bases with conviction, making up his mind at exactly the right point before reaching second and just goes so smoothly.

 

ChiTown?

It's obvious he's worked with Molitor, but some of that just can't be taught. Still, hope Santana (and his speed) pays attention.

[ashbury]

ChiTown?

 

I moonlight.

[Gibby]

That slide was hilarious.

[ashbury]

Welp, that might be the rookieness showing on DSantana.

[Beezer07]

That was a really dumb/lucky play by Davis

[Beezer07]

It'd be nice if Hicks could throw it more than 50 feet without bouncing it.

Dozier is a ball player... He plays the game and those are the type of players I come to watch play.

 

The Delmon Young's of the world are not worth the price of admission. I like players like Dozier... Fuld... Yes... Denny Hocking... Players who play every inch of the game.

I'd be more impressed if he were allowed to run the bases without that silly helmet on. He'd be like Guy Lafleur out there.

Revere mentored him before getting traded.

Clicking Like as ChiTown's proxy.

Jacque Jones was his mentor?

It is contributions like this that keep me coming back for more. You guys crack me up.

[GCTF]

I got scooped. son of a basketball.

[Beezer07]

Jacque Jones was his mentor?

 

I seem to remember JJ making a throw from leftfield that landed like 15 rows in the stands?

[Craig Arko]

Jacque Jones was his mentor?

 

Ben Revere.

 

Edit - harmonic convergence.

[GCTF]

Denny Hocking...

 

They have help for this now.

[Riverbrian]

Jacque Jones

[Gibby]

Jacque Jones was his mentor?

 

Is it true that Jacque Jones was John Fuqua's love child?

[Craig Arko]

This Hughes guy looks pretty good. Why don't we have anybody like that?

 

I put this all on Ryan and the FO.

[Riverbrian]

They have help for this now.

 

I'll let Denny stand up for himself!!! Go get em Denny!

[GCTF]

I always remember that playoff game at Yankee Stadium. I think it stopped rolling before it reached home plate.

[Craig Arko]

Jacque Jones

 

Afternoon Delight.

[Beezer07]

Dudes, this guy is calling the low strike. Swing.

[Riverbrian]

Are the Twins trying to wear out Castellanos?

[Beezer07]

Parmelee at-bats so far look like a guy who thinks he needs a HR every time up.

[Gibby]

Excellent crime family.

[Riverbrian]

Parmelee at-bats so far look like a guy who thinks he needs a HR every time up.

 

He probably does... What happens when Mauer or Hammer comes back... Parm goes down most likely.

 

Does he go through the waiver process or can we send Parm down with no issues?
