If you go to New Comiskey, don't get the upper deck seats. 

Old Yankee Stadium upper deck behind home plate was the definition of steep. Once saw a guy go after a foul ball, loose his balance and slide down the stands on the top of the seat backs. Fans near the front had to catch him to keep him from plummeting over.

Funderburk usage rate suggests they think he is the new Jesse Orosco

Heights aren't so bad, I'm afraid of widths.

Depths are probably the most terrifying. You’ll never see me deep sea diving. I swim well enough to survive and that’s it

KILLEBREW embodies classs....might add Blyleven due to his broadcasting also..

Can't forget tony O ... 

If it wasn't for tony I never would have been a switch hitter  ...

I just came in from gardening and reading the responses, is this more of the radical base running Baldelli talked about?

Funderburk’s first ER in August

Come on Keaschall you can’t let that by you without acting like a goalie in hockey 

[mrtwinsfan]

Tough play-  but keep- it front of ya Luke

[SteveLV]

I LOVE Keachall but that was a brutal defensive "play".

[RpR]

Some at 2nd is taking lessons from Julien.

 

[SteveLV]

Last Field Goal wins this one.

[UpstateNewYorker]

Keaschall has really struggled defensively.

Grand Rapids, MN boy as I’m looking at his Wikipedia! 

The goalie everyone to this day still emulates is Patrick Roy. Loved him. And Dominik Hasek with his legendary 2 pad stack 

They guy killed about 5 NYR seasons

I had to go back and watch the play where Jeffers enticed the cut-off rounding 1st so Buxton would have better chance of scoring. Was Jeffers afraid to get hurt? Pull a leg muscle? I get that he had a mission, but it was completed and then he just gave up. Didn't make an effort at all to get in a good run down, Conceded the third out by standing there. And this game Toronto (other than Varsho ropping homers in center) is throwing the ball away on multiple occassions. 

Sure, it wasn't likely for him to find a way safely to a base now, but a professional MLB player should at least try. I mean, these guys are in their 20s. And even minimum salaries (which is way lower than Jeffers is paid now) are comfortable compensation for giving it 100%.

Do you intentionally say stupid **** to get a rise out of others or do you just say stupid ****? Watch any other team play a game or two and if you see that play that's how it play's out almost every time. The player who takes the big turn to draw the throw to allow the run to score is generally thrown out without much of a "rundown" occuring.

This is my life more often than not for my job. This is a nightmare and why I look for emergency exit rows to book at the very least. 

[USAFChief]

Bah roo tll.

Way to go Fundy, rallying to get Springer after that blistering double from Gimenez

But Martin was expected to make a tougher play in LF earlier....

What do you think about Keaschall at 1B and a combo of Martin, Clemens, and eventually Culpepper at 2B for 2026?

NO, no - it is - "Baa-ram-ewe! Baa-ram-ewe! To your breed, your fleece, your clan be true! Sheep be true! Baa-ram-ewe!".

 

[USAFChief]

HEEE struck him out!!

[Aggies7]

Is this all a mirage from funderburk? He’s been downright competent 

[Vanimal46]

I’d feel a lot better if it was the end of the 8th instead of the 6th. Lots of time left for Toronto to carve up our bullpen
