    Weirdly, to my POV, Dick Bremer has no such qualms. Whatever it is you're talking about, I mean.

    Sounds like a last resort. First, double check that an error code isn't showing on the display - take a sledge hammer to it.

    I can't speak for others, but this procedure has always worked like a charm for me.

    "I'll have to admit, that was a fairly good one." "That'sh what your mother told me lasht night, Trebek."

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the ZIPS projection for Busenitz's WHIP isn't actually 7.16.

    Twins-hating jerk.

    Someone else started a thread of its own, almost at the same time. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/29116-gardy%E2%80%99s-batting-1000-so-far-in-getting-ejected-as-tigers-manager

    I think if you could read lips, it went something like this: "That's a horse bleep call. You can't take a run away from my guy like that." "Ron, the replay call was made in New York." "I know it was made in New York. Fornicate New York." "Beyond my pay grade." "Come on. Make the right call, right now." "You know I can't do that." "Overturn the overturn." "Not in the rules." "Then throw me out of the game. I need to fire up my guys." "You ain't done nothing out of line. Now, if you were to refer to my mother..." "See this dirt I am kicking? I kicked it on your mother last night." "She's deceased." "Oh. Sorry. I knew that." "No prob. I kind of set you up, on that." "Anyway.... are we good here?" "My pleasure. Is this ejection gesture to your liking?" "It's gosh darn swell." "OK, see you next game." "Unless you wanna catch a quick bite first, at this place Miggy told me about." "Let's see how long extra innings take." "If my bullpen holds them scoreless in the eleventh, see what you can do." "Ron....." "Kidding!"

    Good point. I just did a baseball-reference.com search, of hits by players with 75% of their games at catcher, and the list above 2000 base hits is pretty slim: 1 Ivan Rodriguez 2844 2 Carlton Fisk 2356 3 Jason Kendall 2195 4 Yogi Berra 2150 5 Mike Piazza 2127 6 Gary Carter 2092 7 Johnny Bench 2048 8 A.J. Pierzynski 2043 Of course, Joe no longer meets this criterion - between occasional DHing and now 1B, he's below 65%. With a 60% threshold, Ted Simmons sneaks into second place with 2472. At 50%, no one else shows up in addition to these nine, plus Joe. Top 10 all-time, among players who primarily caught, at the single most fundamental skill in the game. Not a bad body of work. Anyway, Joe is already in elite company, but had he been able to continue catching for longer, i.e. without the concussion(s), he'd be gunning for the #2 spot soon.

    Maybe the Farrellys can make another in their series of documentaries, about them. Young And Younger.

    Bless you for sharing this nice find, and bless this nice person for creating the app.

    As bullpen meltdowns go, this one was pretty mild. Try being a Red Sox fan today. Yeesh.

    Tied with Bobby Korecky.

    I agree with the main thrust of this article - Rogers's success, and contribution to the team, is tied more closely to careful use of him, than for most players. I like him and he can be close to shutdown against left-handed battrers but he's pretty hittable versus righties (unless the stats staff can identify the correct righties to pit him against). You can't have very many guys on your staff that need to be managed around, so unless he can figure out some magic against good right-handers, his tenure with the team could be not much longer, cheap contract or not. LOOGYs aren't too hard to come by and rarely cost very much.
