    And our RF platoon also comes through in the bottom of the first. Plus, the third-string catcher who shouldn't be up gets a base knock.
  2. ashbury
    Then you owe us some Comedy Gold on that one too.
  3. ashbury
    / pssst. that was the corny one
  4. ashbury
    OK, I reconsidered and I guess I owe you one. Q: Why are umpires fat? I'll save the corny answer for later in the game after you've delivered the gems we know you're capable of.

    How y'all like our #2 hitter now?
  6. ashbury
    It's only scheduled for nine innings.
  7. ashbury
    Shoulda led off with one 'a the good ones, then, my brother.

    Bzzt. Survey says: They both wear a glove on one hand for no obvious reason. / an oldie, I know, you were just playing along / and, while I was typing, Doumsie snares a liner hit his way
  9. ashbury
    Aaaaaand... we're off.

    Q: What do Ryan Doumit in RF and Michael Jackson have in common? (Or, "did", I guess I should say.) / keep it clean, guys

    Here's a question for the would-be scouts (or any real ones ). What do you look for in someone being used as a reliever, that suggests he'll have the stamina and durability to start? I'm not talking about having a starter's mix of pitches and stuff, but just the ability to go 6 or 7 or more when his stuff is working.

    Connecting the loss on waivers of a AAA center fielder to a major league pitching coach is a leap I just don't quite have the intellect to follow you in, my brother.
  14. ashbury
    You have him batting 9th. Does not compute.

    Colabello struck out in 6 of 11 plate appearances. The Twins got their feelgood story and ran with it as far as actual playing ability allowed. Any team would send a guy to AAA with that kind of a track record. / but but but... I forgot about Aaron Hicks
  16. ashbury
    OPS being an apples+oranges stat, it sorta works (when it works) for typical cases but can fall down when applied to extreme cases. Which Hicks, an extreme work-in-progress, is. The man's season can be broken down into "eras" that stand out even when accounting for SSS. First was the "can't recognize a pitcher's out-pitch" era for two weeks, followed by "base on balls 50% of the time because no one is fool enough to throw him three strikes" for a week, followed by an era of making some useful contact, followed by this current era of ten games where for some reason he has gotten *zero* walks. In one sense, you have to add these all up into one "season" - it is what it is. But for trying to get a bead on this guy? We're just not there yet. Because he's just not there yet. An OPS is either going to be cherry-picking of one of his "eras" or else a hopeless mishmash of two or more eras that give you very little predictive power for thinking about what to do with him.

    I would guess it means either he was joshing with Seth, or else is in a small minority who aren't fans. Either way, meh.
  18. ashbury
    Yeah, those guys never won any pennants.
  19. ashbury
    Physically they aren't too similar, results-wise maybe so. Gah, Randy Bush turns 55 this year.

    My wife knows how to make a... no, if I say it I will appear to be a case of arrested development.
  21. ashbury
    I look forward to reading more of your posts after your wife or girlfriend* finds out you're posting here. / *may they never meet
  22. ashbury
    My idea of a AAAA hitter is someone who makes his living feasting on fastballs in the strike zone, which become increasingly rare as you move up. Not that he couldn't have hit his ceiling, but this sign seems the opposite and more unusual.
  23. ashbury
    If you consider that initial blog article horrible and terrible, then I will thank you to not visit my blog space here ever.
  24. ashbury
    Not so bottomless. Eat there every day for a month, then take a look at your bottom. As for Hicks, leave him where he is.
  25. ashbury
    Give Nolan Ryan diabetes and I might still take a chance on him. I have no idea where Ryan resided on your neck-color spectrum at that age, however.
