Things to Think about:

 

Sorry I'm late with this... I got caught up at work on something.

 

A little different format...

 

Apparently it's OK for Suzuki to Catch a day game after a night game. The Stroman kid is highly ranked prospect for the Blue Jays and he should be fun to watch.

 

That's All

[Guest USAFChief]

As always, thanks Bri.

[Boom Boom]

9. Escobar SS

 

You misspelled Nuñez.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

First name would have been right, though.

[Gibby]

Joe's getting off the schneid.

It's also okay to catch a day work after a night game... Work is important.

 

And i don't think you were late. Thread existed before game started.

 

Yeah, let's see how Nuñez does at his normal position.

[Hawkeye12]

Does it seem Santana gets nearly picked off on every single throw over? He may break Span's record for getting picked off on a regular basis. I noticed his SB percentage was pretty poor in the minors, but I wonder how many of those were spinning his wheels and getting picked off where he wasn't really attempting a steal.

[Gibby]

Joe's getting off the schneid.

 

...and Willingham picks me up.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wow.

 

Is that really 3 games in a row we score 2 runs in the first inning?

 

I'm not used to these quick starts.

[GCTF]

Took four batters to score two runs instead of the usual two batters. Mildly concerned.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

This is some vintage Hammerin we're seeing lately. Good to see him bounce back from the DL.

[Riverbrian]

You misspelled Nuñez.

 

Yes I did.... And I wasn't even close. I'm gonna blame auto correct.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Yes I did.... And I wasn't even close. I'm gonna blame auto correct.

 

That's also what Gardy said about playing Florimon there as long as he did!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Joe's getting off the schneid.

 

My vocabulary has been improved. Thanks!

 

(Joe'll get off it eventually, i'm sure)

[Riverbrian]

That's also what Gardy said about playing Florimon there as long as he did!

 

Wouldnt it be awesome if Gardy had that sort of Auto-Correct for his lineup Card. He'd put Suzuki in the lineup and it would auto-correct to Pinto.

[Taildragger8791]

If you'd told me 2-3 years ago that we'd have a lineup where Mauer was last in SLG, 6th in OBP, and 7th in AVG, I'd have thought "wow, that must be the first undefeated team in the history of baseball".

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

More ducks on the pond - and man, that was a short inning for the Jays, they were swinging pretty early in the count.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sharp baserunning by Arcia. Looks like he was living dangerously, but he got back to 2nd on the pick off move and the snap throw from the catcher, and advances on a grounder to 3b.

 

But he is stranded at 3rd... Oh well.

[JB_Iowa]

We got speed .... just not communication.

[Gibby]

Does this team even practice fundamentals?

[Riverbrian]

Dear Santana... You are good bunter and I appreciate you using this ability with your speed to get a hit or two on occasion... However... Don't Do it with Lawrie.... He's too good. Try the other side with Lind instead.

 

That's All... You are doing great... Sincerely, Riverbrian

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Pauer!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Dear Santana... You are good butter

 

Auto-correct strikes again!

 

I wonder if this gives him a Land-o-lakes deal?

[Riverbrian]

Auto-correct strikes again!

 

I wonder if this gives him a Land-o-lakes deal?

 

Yeah... It's outta control today.

 

With that said... Nothing like good butter. It makes stuff taste good... Right Gibby?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wouldnt it be awesome if Gardy had that sort of Auto-Correct for his lineup Card. He'd put Suzuki in the lineup and it would auto-correct to Pinto.

 

The future will be here when pencils have auto-correct.

 

Next thing ya know, bats will also have auto-correct...

 

(I think that's going to be my new theory of slumps/streaks)

[D. Hocking]

Auto-correct strikes again!

 

So Auto-correct out of control probably explains all the game thread posts I have read that don't quite make sense or seem to be off on a tangent.

[stringer bell]

I think Morales can hit.

[JB_Iowa]

I'm sure my posts must all make perfect sense, then .... since I never allow auto correct.

[stringer bell]

I think the book on Arcia is "don't throw him a strike".

[diehardtwinsfan]

That would be great... something tells me though that Gardy isn't one for new fangled electronic gizmos.
