so your people are aware that there are Olympics that are done without snow or ice?

 

Technically this IS the winter Olympics because it's in the southern hemisphere

Apparently you picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

"Adequate" on defense in baseball terms usually means "on days he's not DHing".

To me, "adequate" for a major leaguer indicates an ability to throw a baseball with velocity and accuracy I could only dream of. I can't even imagine throwing a baseball like Sano. My arm would fall right off. Heck, even Sano's arm got hurt. TJ surgery for a third baseman... yikes.

 

Mainly, it looks like Polanco's arm will suffice for most plays at SS. But if he goes deep in the hole, he won't throw out a fast man. Escobar's arm is stronger. Also, I hear Engelb Vielma has a gun, and same goes for Nick Gordon, somewhere down the line...

 

Good news, Polanco can play three infield positions, and hits lots of line drives!

Springer lost it in the roof

I like our Olympic announcers. If the CBC does one thing well, it's sports.

I can concur with that. I hate Olympics coverage stateside.

Another game with no strikeouts for Polanco. Refreshing.
