    I tried Match.Com once. They try to find a match based on similar interests. My interests at the time were Baseball, Rock Music and Chasing Women. So... it matched me up with Bill Clinton.

    I ordered one of them Russian Mail Order brides once. Her name was Igor and the beard made me suspect it wasn't a her. I didn't order a 2nd one.

    Nice job... You scared Anderson into pitching around him.

    I haven't been to "Fort Worth International Wield" Is it nice?

    First year of the light rail. I agree it's pretty scary. I don't blame you. Rails should be heavy.

    UER - Pitching stat for sure. Important data to find out which pitchers work best with which umpires.

    He hasn't aged. I think he's the new Dick Clark.

    I want that stat created and published in Baseball Reference, ESPN and Fangraphs.
  13. Riverbrian
    He's probably from Flint.

    I had to look up the definition of "rudimentary". I didn't know that's what they called schools in France. Learn something new every day.

    (True Story) My wife and youngest son went to the Panda Buffet last night for supper. I'm next to my son dishing up some food and a well dressed guy appears on my right. The guy was former North Dakota Governor Ed Schafer. I did a double take and the Governor notices me looking at him and says "Hello". I respond with "Hello... You know... I never took you for an all-you-can-eat guy". He laughed and says I've been here before and the food is good". My son was next to me and I turn to my Son and say "This is former Governor of North Dakota Ed Schafer... You may not remember him because he was the Governor when you were born". The Governor looks at me and says "Ed Actually" and then he shakes my son's hand and says "Nice to meet you". I was confused because I was sure that I said "Ed". I get back to the table and my son said "Dad you said Ed" and I was relieved because I usually have horrible names that I use for any politician. (True Story)

    Yeah... Not really... North Dakota has 17 houses and 26 Garages.
  18. Riverbrian
    Yeah... I'm not abnormally weak and I couldn't rip it out of their hands.
  19. Riverbrian
    That must be wherever you are. They pee to mark territory in North Dakota.
  20. Riverbrian
    Yeah... They walk around with a cup of nickels turning multiple chairs around backwards to claim multiple machines.

    I'd put up a Casino!

    You make your mind up quick.

    Absolutely agree... I can't argue against a strategy that's resulting in one of the best offensive outputs in the league. Actually I can and I kinda am but I really don't spend a lot of time worrying about the batting order so I don't want anyone to think that I'm losing sleep over it. I just don't understand the asset of a template and I don't understand what consistency provides the hitter in the batter box. I mainly think it's ok to try and get Buxton (specifically) some more AB's.
  25. Riverbrian
    Perhaps But... I'm not suggesting that it should be that reactionary. I'm asking the question... what damage is done if players hit in different spots in the lineup day to day? What damage is done if Buxton hits 9th and then moves to 1st and back to 9th? It's May 20th. Buxton has 142 AB's with an OBP of 335 and Kepler has 159 AB's with an OBP of .315. Kepler is getting the extra AB's by consistent hitting 1st while Buxton hits 9th. Why would it all fall apart if they swapped positions. Why does Astudillo simply plug into whatever spot in the order belongs to the player he's replacing. They bounce the turtle all around the lineup... Why can't they bounce Buxton around without injuring the consistency. Why is the Consistency important? Legit questions that will be very difficult for anyone (including Baldelli) to explain to me.
