  1. Ehire's here for his glove. If he's going to do those, he may as well pack his bags.
  2. LaMarre's a ballplayer! There's a a lot of career minor leaguers who think they can make the majors just with the bat. I like seeing him move up on that fumbled pitch in the dirt.
  3. LaMarre continues his early bid for MVP.
  4. Right. That's where they keep all the 2's. Now, if he wants 3, he needs to keep moving.
  5. Grrrr. A high change up down the middle doesn't seem like a good pairing with the much-discussed four-seamer much of anything actually.
  6. Waiting patiently now for Chief to chime in with "we were talking about Godel, not Fermat," at which point I can zing him with "you forgot the umlaut in Gödel's name, dummkopf". Oh, the anticipation...
  7. If there's a Super Group Heaven, you know that Camille Jordan and the Abelians will be headlining.
  8. "Yes. It was my understanding there would be no more posts."
  9. I think it was more complicated than that. Glynn's signalling perhaps was momentarily inconsistent, because Sano inexplicably started pulling up while halfway between second and third. If Glynn was windmilling to indicate a dash for home was still possible, then had to switch to a stop sign a millisecond later than he could have, confusion may have entered in, causing a further hesitation on Sano's part and then a belated decision to go for it. As the final outcome proved, the stop sign never was absolutely necessary in terms of being able to make it (maybe, with only 1 out, caution still was advisable), and Sano going all out once past second base would have scored easily. Not good, and you'd like for all concerned to process the emerging information just a little better, but perhaps not simply a willful ignoring of a stop sign. The video unfortunately doesn't show enough of Glynn, but at the 0:53 mark you see the left hand up for Stop and the right arm pointing Home. I'm trying to make sense of that. Blyleven's saying Glynn is pointing to the cutoff man, but maybe that's too complicated a signal for the situation. https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/04/05/1906794883/1522886995189/asset_1800K.mp4
  10. Moderator's note: It's not so much offense, as it's the kind of topic that can derail a thread. Open a thread in the Sports Bar forum if you wish to discuss this tangent.
  11. You came out better than I did. My desk is by a window, but I'm not allowed to look inside.
  12. Please keep us posted right there on the adoption page.
  13. A link to this article has been placed in the Adopt-A-Prospect page for Ben Rortvedt.
  14. Piped-in crowd noise when necessary, I am convinced.
  15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0X0ZYbnHxA No! That's just what they'll be expecting us to do....
  16. How's his defense? My SSS of watching him hasn't been very favorable.
  17. I was preparing to answer, "perhaps, but it won't come from Seth," but Seth ninja'd me.
  18. Since Catcher is still a bit of a question mark in this farm system, I do find it interesting that apparently the Twins can't find a place for a guy like Silva, to let him continue to develop, and yet he's good enough that another team is willing to pay cash as opposed to just waiting to see him get released. Bit of a paradox, even with Seth's explanation about 40-man rules and whatnot.
  19. 1-3 musta got rained out then, because his b-r.com record shows 5.
  20. Haven't been there since, I think, 1977. Schenley Park was a green oasis amid a rather gray surrounding environment. I'm looking forward to seeing a much better overall city this year.
  21. SABR National Convention is in Pittsburgh this year. Just sayin'...
  22. Sometimes it's the little things, yeah.
