VAZQUEZ!!

 

As expected.

He was my pick to click! I just didn’t want to jinx him…have it written down on a piece of paper next to me, though.

Robbie Grossman, 2016. I've never seen anything that bad, Margot isn't even in the realm of that performance.

How about Delmon Young,  was a   ??  on every play

Yep. That's him

A man that athletic had absolutely no excuse for how he played the game on both sides of the ball.

I lost a photo of Delmon Laying on the Left field warning track with The AD sign for Waste Management right above him,   Classic

Royals always terrorize Ober , 

[Schmoeman5]

The BSN field mic must be very close or just work very well. I've heard some yells that haven't been but probably should have been caught by the delay. Or am I delusional

Grossman, in just 635 innings, was -20 Defensive Runs Saved. That's so bad it's impressive.

Darin Mastroianni had his, uh, "moments".  A Ft Myers highlight for me years ago was hearing Tom Kelly admonish Darin after an adventure in center field, "let's keep the 360s to a minimum out there, okay?"

As they say….even a broken Foucault Pendulum is right once a year.

False.

Quit using medical terms.

[Aggies7]

Of course I’m working and have missed this (so far) excellent game

[USAFChief]

We had some of the grandkids over yesterday. The youngest one (4 yo) kept playing with electricity. So I had to ground him.

If it goes to **** we know who to blame.

[Schmoeman5]

If Kirilloff was at 1st, he'd have never gotten to that foul pop. When Wallner gets hbp it catches cloth. Farmer seems to get drilled. 

[USAFChief]

Swing the bat, Eddie.

I assume he's now conducting himself properly? 

[ashbury]

Note to self after Julien's strikeout just now:

Next time I'm attending an Umpires Panel at a SABR meeting or whatever, I'll have to figure out a good way to phrase my question: "when a young guy comes up and has an elite batting eye, you look to cure him of that ASAP, right?"

Yes, but did it spark an interest in baseball?

If true, hardly shocking.

Perkins: "That gravel out there...rock hard."

 

 

[USAFChief]

Nice job, Mr Ober. 

Put me down as OK with this pitching change.

He held back from making a boulder statement.

If so, I'm sure Chief is amped up about it.
