That would make him a pain in himself.

 

I was going for a more plainspoken pain in the rear end.

[Squirrel]

 

Some feel that he's been purposefully trying to hit Avila's mitt with his bat today while swinging, he's reached twice on catcher's interference so far.

 

Thanks ... haven't really been watching ... obviously  

[Squirrel]

 

Because I’m a Royals hater

 

Well, then ... okay ... I don't hate anyone.

 

Plenty I really dislike, though.  

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Soler is actually trying to hit Avillas glove

Time to return the favor

that was kind of a joke, you had to be here... i Do feel Soler hit Avillas glove intentionally, that would warrant a good drilling

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Same reason for catchers interference.

The interconnectedness of things.

Agrees

I think *one* felt he was intentionally hitting Avila's glove.

 

How did he do that? Was he looking back and down while swinging?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Another bunting situation for Jorge here?

1 out, so I doubt it.

If you can't hit the ball (remember all of Soler's whiffs last weekend), hit the catcher's glove. Something did seem off there.

you could look at the ball and make a good guess as to where his glove was, the swings on both those plays looked odd to me, so yeah I believe it was intentional

No.

[IndianaTwin]

That was ball four, not strike one. Which makes the DP stink even more.

well we’ll never know, but I agree..totally

[LVTwinsfan]

No.

yes

[denarded]

Who is this? I feel I follow The Twins, but this is a name I've never seen

[USAFChief]

McBroom is that rarest of rarities...throws left, bats right.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I like names that could also be units of measurement.

I approve.

"Random LH Journeyman"

 

He goes by Danny.

Think he'll pitch the 9th?

Watt are you saying?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Agrees

 

I am intrigued...

 

I was thinking Dirk Gently.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Watt are you saying?

Yes!

I've heard a lot of whining about the players being confined to their hotels during road trips. But think about the umpires. They, presumably, have the same restrictions ... and they have no home games at all.

They might have home games, maybe some guys on this crew live in Kansas City

Look for scores of tell-all books from umpires next year along the lines of "My Half-Year with Room Service."

I’m thinking I want an Orange Jouleius.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Why don't they tell us the exit velocity of pop flies?

 

Enquiring minds wanna know.

 

At least mine does...

Ewww! That's reVolting.
