Recipe for success...for the opposition.

? Does Dobnak ever throw a fast ball above the letters ? From what i see if he throws anything near belt high he gets tattered, or even above the Knees, Greg Maddox he is not !!

heh ... all in fun ... it's not prohibited ... and I didn't really flunk math ... but I dropped my math major when I hit linear algebra ... blecht 

I dropped mine when they included letters in the problems.....   you should never mix math and the alphabet..  

[Aggies7]

After josh shows the video of all the pitchers he alleges are cheating, I’ll show him the video of all the times he’s failed to come through. Wonder which will be longer

I'm always curious, what happens when the alphabet from another language gets involved?

[Danchat]

Donaldson has been in a slump lately, he's been missing a lot of hittable pitches and has been popping out, a lot on the high fastball (from what I've noticed). Hopefully he rebounds soon, defensively as well.

That's easy ... the pitchers cheating

It is still only May, so I guess technically all season could be considered “lately”

I tried it with the Cyrillic alphabet a couple times, but a lot of my answers came out backwards and upside down!

[Squirrel]

yes!

[Aggies7]

Why in the world would you try to steal third there?

He was hitting really well the first 2-3 weeks after his hammy pull. He was at around .400 early in that stretch.

I don't know ... why?

He had a wRC+ over 130 like two weeks ago so that’s not accurate.

That’s cool, also hasn’t had a 2 out hit with RISP all year, and is 6/24 w/ RISP overall. I dunno, expected more with the signing ??‍♂️

I was thinking calculus or trigonometry, but that works too!

Me too.  I still don't understand trig though.  I'm generally very good at math, but trig makes no sense at all to me.

[stringer bell]

Dobnak allowed to start the seventh. I was surprised and the 7-9 hitters get three straight singles.

Setup for the ever illusive quadrupal play.
