  1. A good throw from left from "Rosales" might have had the runner, but alas...
  2. "Denied the opportunity to even try for the W."
  3. Shocking to see the same pitch he failed to check-swing, later on the put-away.
  4. The whole major-league season is riding on this next pitch. Not the Twins'. Gibson's.
  5. It's almost like that was a terrible analogy that provided no insight at all. Since the article provided no information other than that one analogy, I stopped there with my discussion of it. The article boiled down to, "pitchers throw at batters, that's bad, pitchers throw at batters, that's bad". I agree it's bad, but saying to stop it is pointless, since it's been said before. Insight as to why they do it is needed before anything useful can be proposed. I have my theories, concerning a culture that forbids the expression of fear or pain, but they're half-baked.
  6. In honor, thall we all thpeak in lithpth?
  7. "Construction workers can’t hurl wrenches at each other without facing some form of repercussion." Construction workers don’t hurl wrenches at any target during most work days, so there is no ambiguity to deal with in the first place.
  8. "He needed 4.2 seconds to cover 67 feet, giving it a catch percentage of 49 percent, which equates to a four-star play." As an ex-QA guy, I just bounce that back to Development and say, "there's a bug, I don't know exactly which of those four numbers is wrong, you diagnose it, I have to move on."
  9. A difference of opinion on the Internet. A site doesn't speak all with one voice? http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/210/119/9b3.png
  10. As expected. Clinch day in September, or are we talking August?
  11. In real-time, as the play developed I thought there was no chance he gets to the ball. Then suddenly he was going even faster, and got to it in plenty of time. I think the video voiceover said that was around a 25% play based on time and distance - my eyeball had it even lower than that, so apparently he's slower than I thought.
  12. I stop looking for improvement at the plate at age 25. I'm not so sure about pitchers.
  13. Ficthed that for you.
  14. Happy Nerds-With-Lisps Day!
  15. Also the only pitcher ever to turn down a three-pitch strikeout and give the batter a fourth chance. "Oh, Blue? One more thing pitch..."
  16. Well, the game's starting to drag and I'm an hour ahead of most of you anyway so I'm going to call it a night. Thanks for the laughs, all, and bring the win home in my absence.
  17. You broke it. You bought it. Ash out.
  18. We must have had this discussion before. Mrs Ash got to witness up close and personal yours truly in a similar predicament, on one of our early dates. I bet your girl dumped you immediately, right? Mrs Ash (spoiler alert) didn't. Amazing.
  19. With Buxton you have to go, "1-Nile, 2-Nile, 3-Nile..." or you'll never keep up.
  20. Good call, Nostradamus. / I was about to fire up the bb-ref.com game log tool, myself
  21. That K-Mart blue light special looks like it's been overheating for a while now.
