Mejia looks like he has lost some weight since they called him up. Like fifteen or twenty pounds. I remember last season he looked about 250 or 260. Now he looks somewhere around 230. Not much extra gut left. Good for the young man. 

[Whammy]

There goes Burt again, conflating wins with good pitching

[yarnivek1972]

Nice throw.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Pitcher's-type ballpark.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drink.

I get it. But i think you left a step out: pour.

[jimbo92107]

Shortstops are supposed to be athletic. It looked like Seattle's guy was aiming for the dugout.

Why, when one can simply drink directly from the bottle? Wasted motion.

Meatballs down the middle are why we can't have nice things.

[jimbo92107]

Okay, so which teams want Santana?

[TwinsCD]

1.  The nice thing about giving up leadoff HRs is that they're all solo shots.

2.  The nice thing about giving up back-to-back HRs is that the second one is always a solo shot.

3.  I hope the Mariners don't have any other catchers in the lineup tonite.

It's ok, Cleveland lost today

Bottle? He said it was a pitcher's park. Drinking from the pitcher is often frowned upon, i do believe.

It's as though I've seen this before.

All we're missing is Bill Murray.

Oh..... it is?

 

 

My bad.

[Aggies7]

The SPs have been racking up the pitch counts very early lately

Sigh...

 

The lead was nice while it lasted.

[Dave The Dastardly]

 

I feel i missed out somewhat on baseball cards...

Maybe i just didn't chew enough gum as a child.

I chewed enough for both of us. Our family dentist retired early with my college money, I tended bar nights in order to pay my tuition and my mom threw out my baseball cards. Another of life's success stories.

My bad.

Hey, I've seen those documentaries about Canada. "The Great White North" clued me in on just how uncouth our Northern Neighbors are. I mean, seriously, drinking directly from a pitcher? Haven't you guys heard of straws?

My bad.

Well, it is probably okay if you finish it all yourself...

[Aggies7]

Audra eats bugs

[drock2190]

Well that was a quick half inning

[Whammy]

Inches away from one run in and runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs.

 

Instead... inning over

[Aggies7]

These two games have been irritating. Didn't think Seattle was this competitive

[Whammy]

Well that was a quick half inning

Was it three pitches?

In my barrio we call that motion 'exercise'.

[LaBombo]

 

All we're missing is Bill Murray.

 

The undead BM? Please say yes.

 

 

 

[jimbo92107]

You can see why guys like Hawkins and Guardado like Mejia's stuff. It's got the potential to miss a lot of bats with the tilt of his slider and that little left-hand fade of his change up. Mejia put down three guys in a hurry just then.
