  1. National homonym day? Sew how dew wee no witch weigh is rite?
  2. Agree that Sano almost certainly has less range than Gonzalez but he has a cannon, so if the shifts are well planned and he's positioned optimally he should be able to throw out more batter-runners than just about anyone.
  3. I don't know for sure, but I would guess it's pretty much standard procedure at all ballparks.
  4. Well, as long as we're extrapolating... We are undefeated against KC and Detroit and 2-1 against Cleveland. That projects to 51-6 against those three teams. Add in Baltimore and we're 57-6. Just play .500 ball against everyone else and we're 107-55.
  5. Caution: nitpick alert. I think that 3 or fewer earned runs allowed by a starter in 6 or more innings is a good benchmark to use for determining whether he has done his job. But I wish the term quality start wouldn't have been coined for such a start. I'd rather call it a satisfactory start.
  6. There's a fangraphs article about his 130 stolen bases in 1982. When you factor in caught stealing and pickoffs his base running was worth 0.7 wins on the season. https://tht.fangraphs.com/adjusting-steals-for-win-value/
  7. Man, with the Orioles playing the Yankees and Red Sox 19 games fans sitting the bleachers will be taking their lives in their hands
  8. They're talking about Rickey Henderson. His success rate on stolen bases was not that great. Not bad, but he took his team out of scoring chances enough that his baserunning was not a big plus.
  9. Pineda would have been safe by two feet.
  10. If Buck needs a pinch runner maybe Pineda can go in.
  11. That may have been the best home run today given who hit it and how far.
  12. I've been listening but not watching. My assumption is Buck probably told Rocco he could go.
  13. I want to say something about this but I think it would lead to moderator action.
  14. 1. Max Kepler (L) CF 2. Jorge Polanco (S) SS 3. Nelson Cruz ® DH 4. Eddie Rosario (L) LF 5. C.J. Cron ® 1B 6. Marwin Gonzalez (S) 3B 7. Willians Astudillo ® RF 8. Ehire Adrianza (S) 2B 9. Jason Castro (L) C No Houston lineup and batting order posted yet.
  15. This is great! Don't worry about occasionally getting thrown out, because it will happen only occasionally. He has the upper hand because of his speed. The pressure is on the pitcher and catcher. Be aggressive and go!
  16. Nice! Notice how Pineda knew to let it go through.
