    POLANCO!!!!
  2. ashbury
    Worse than that. Ugh, what a pivotal play. We need Buxton and Kepler.

    It's the constant focus that I find wearing. Can't really do it. There are many reasons I would not make a good Official Scorer, but constant focus would likewise be #1 in that job too. "Wasn't watching" is a poor excuse. So if you enjoyed it, why haven't you sought out amateur opportunities?

    Marney with the bad news about Ryan Braun Christian Yelich. Quite the slip of tongue.
  5. ashbury
    Knock it off.
  6. ashbury
    I find any work similar to that exhausting - what was your experience when you did that?
  7. ashbury
    Didn't I just say that, earlier in this thread? / no
  8. ashbury
    Maybe you'll beat me out for that FSN color commentary and analysis job.

    I don't remember a more confident looking second baseman than Jonathan Schoop. / ninja'd

    Unassailable logic.
  11. ashbury
    Well you and I should submit our resumes to FSN, because Dick and Justin were moaning. You decent on PbP? I probably serve better in the color job.

    Marney's recap of why Perez did so well in Boston rings just a bit hollow at this point in the game.
  13. ashbury
    I saw that as a failed check-swing, live and also in the replay. It's not just the wrists. The bat passed beyond the front of the plate. Too much shoulder movement to save it.

    To Victory.
  15. ashbury
    Which ignores the first two baserunners, and is kind of my point, above. You put yourself at the mercy of luck. Arraez with good wheels down the first base line after Rendon bobbled it.

    Got a beer bottle, let's clink them. / edit - Welcome, Stringer!

    "Gracias, Ehire." -- Martín Pérez

    Couple of grounders found their way through, but that happens. The sharp double followed by the semi-intentional walk are what account for the two runs.
  19. ashbury
    Not the start we needed against a good opponent. I've been more of a critic of Polanco's arm than his range, but I seriously thought that was a grounder an above average fielding SS should reach. Maybe even average SS, given the skill around the league at that position.
  20. ashbury
    Come on, Martín, hit your spots.
  21. ashbury
    Well, so, I guess we're not there yet. Masking agents like diuretics are banned, and thus suspension worthy, but they are banned because of their potential to be used to hide PEDs, not for their inherent harm or competitive edge. You're right that we haven't seen transcripts, leaving us only to infer, but the knowledge that an arbitrator reduced the suspension length suggests to me that he or she became convinced PEDs were not being masked. Because the default would have been to just let the suspension stand unchanged. Proof, no. It's only supposition, but I don't think far fetched.
  22. ashbury
    Agreed, and it may come down to purely philosophical views or even just semantics. I'm pretty adamantly anti-PED. But if the aim of the sport's drug policy is to reduce the harm that they perceive PEDs to bring, and if all that is being missed is PED usage infrequent enough to not be caught by periodic testing, maybe that suits my purposes. But then, I spent a large portion of my career in numerical computation, dealing at times with "what really constitutes 'zero'?", on a computer. So I'm not inclined toward absolutes.
  23. ashbury
    Watch out, if the Twins' magic number drops to exactly 11.
  24. ashbury
    You been saving that up for one of those "why, I oughta" moments?
  25. ashbury
    I'm still confused. / no I'm not, but I'm worried you said too much and am trying to add an anti-anti-anti-jinx.
