    Jepsen needs to get rid of the red glove. It looks like what a 4-year-old unwraps on Christmas morning.

    How's he done so far, this season?

    Precocious kid.

    You're forecasting a few playoff wins, I see.

    I have this sudden urge to mention Adam Brett Wa-... *mmphh*

    FTFY.

    The nature of each of the bases is different. Why might the rules regarding them not be different?

    OK, but don't get any ideas about springing some knock knock jokes on us.

    "A loyal friend is someone who will laugh at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathize with your problems when they're not so bad." Chief's got a lot of loyal friends here, and rightly so.

    Welcome to teh Internets, newb.

    The nature of my submission should tell you that I cheated and looked up the answer first.

    If this comes true we will want to require a Batman joke from Chief before every game! "Riddle me this, Batboy Wonder..."

    In other words, the difference between highly structured and unstructured problems.

    Adam Rest?

    I think their watching Sano play third for a few games at Target Field last year would have been sufficient to convince them that he'll be a work-in-progress no matter what position on the field they assign him to. No long-term memory required.

    Bonds hit more than that in one season, didn't he?

    I would support this point of view, regardless of the political party controlling the Senate, for a variety of reasons elaborated in the article. However, from a political point of view I doubt Obama wants to provoke a constitutional crisis in an election year; he seems to be trying to position the Democratic Party as the voice of sweet reason in the face of perpetual obstruction. On the other hand an article like this in the WaPo might not occur in a vacuum, and could represent a trial balloon being floated by the Administration.

    Also, at the other end of the spectrum, most plays that just fall in as Texas Leaguers, or land in the gap for extra bases, would have done so regardless of the defender. It's a rather narrow band of this spectrum for which defense matters. And it does matter, but among all the things that matter I have come to view it as part of the lower-priority group.

    And then the Pads went out and scored 13. Please, can someone at Fangraphs write an article about our team next?

    The OP was surely in reference to Adopt A Prospect forum, and not to the prospect of the team's chances of winning in 2016.

    It's only 4 games, so everything is Small Sample Size as yet. Still, the stats tell us pretty clearly why the team is 0-4. League total: ERA 4.22 Team ERA: 4.13 Starting pitchers: ERA 4.26 Relief pitchers: ERA 3.97 League OPS: .698 Team OPS: .660 Team OPS with bases empty: .893 Team OPS with men on base: .318 Team OPS with runners in scoring position: .279 They're batting .096 with men on base. Without bothering to look it up, I'll venture to say no team in history has been so un-clutch for a season. Last season the same guys were better with men on base than bases empty. This will pass. Meanwhile the bullpen has been given nothing but razor thin situations to protect, and two guys in particular have been poor in their two games. There is not much scope for sweeping generalizations at this point.
