Another terrible non challenge

Terrible? He looked out on the replays.

Another terrible non challenge

That's nonsense, Dave. They check a replay from more than one angle and if they have a definitive view that the ump is wrong, they challenge.

[Riverbrian]

and if you lose the challenge

 

I think the umps give you electric shock.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sun Tzu.

Did he say it in his original treatise on Wins Above Replacement?

 

Been a while since i read a translation... Wouldn't be surprised.

 

That may also have been an early version before the stat kept track of whose wins...

[stringer bell]

I thought for a moment that Seager got enough of that one to get it off the wall.

[Gibby]

  When I have a definitive view here at home...I always lose the challenge.

[notoriousgod71]

That was an interesting, um, shape that Jack drew right there....

[nicksaviking]

Major League Players are probably OK with trading prospects who can take their job eventually for Major League Players who can help now... Unless they trade the prospects for someone who can play your position right now. Then they would rather keep the prospects.

 

Right, my impression was Plouffe wasn't happy that Ryan was largely inactive.

[Gibby]

 

  I once watched Jack Morris pitch for the St Paul Saints, whilst being massaged by a Nun.

When I have a definitive view at home, the kids must be in bed.

[Platoon]

Could somebody explain why Joe is still hitting in the 3 spot?

You want answers?

 

 

I think I'm entitled.

 

 

You want answers?

 

 

I want the truth.

 

 

You can't handle the truth.

[dan wants wits]

 

Even our ball boy blows.

 

I'm not saying I hate Terry Ryan, but is it pure coincidence that every team in baseball except the Twins has a competent ball boy?  The Royals annually have ball *girls* of sparkling ability.  How hard could it be to swing a trade for one of them?  Pick up the phone and get it done TR, geez. 

[Gibby]

  Thank you, I laughed for real.

[Craig Arko]

A definitive view. Especially if you're the Hulk.

  Impressive first post.

you actually have your choice of that or a noogy

[Riverbrian]

 

  Thank you, I laughed for real.

 

Ah HA... I thought so... Until that point... You were faking it

[formerly33]

I'm a little late to the game, but I must say I really, really like the idea of Terry Ryan fishing. It reminds me of Justin Moore's Bait a Hook when his rival had the hot girl and the fancy car and boat and all, and all he had was his dog. But he had one thing over this fella ... the man couldn't even bait a hook.

Who among us hasn't?

[Gibby]

 

  It's great seeing Jim Perry. I grew up with his son Chris. As much as I hate living here, I had some cool neighbors.

[Platoon]

Apparently Bernadinos references to Cruz's past "body building" techniques did not hurt his feelings in the least.

[Bark's Lounge]

 

OK... No Boat... That's Cool... Yours is better. With him looking to the left like that... Have a bunch of fish jumping behind him... Dolphins... Tuna... Walleye...

We're still talking about baseball replays, aren't we?

  Most of us are not.

It'll cost Aaron Slegers. You still OK with that?

[ashbury]

  Thank you, I laughed for real.

I am suddenly mentally reviewing my opus at TD and am very worried.

Shrimp... LOL

That's what HE said.

  If we get a ballgirl that flashes the leather?
