  1. My 2 cents - scrap the lefty/righty platoon crap and put the best defense on the field. We've certainly seen the consequences of not doing that the past couple weeks, if not all season. If that means Austin Martin in CF so be it.
  2. Nick on the Jumbotron Goodrum at the plate
  3. Nick Gordon sighting tonight in Jacksonville. Played 2b. Niko Goodrum was playing ss for Norfolk
  4. "Holds" should be counted just as important as Saves for those of us still looking at old time statistics...
  5. Yeah I bristled hearing the TV crew mention that he was named to the Futures Roster. I want him at Target Field! Welcome to the bigs, Brooks!
  6. There's HURT and there's INJURED players need to identify which is which
  7. The moral of the story - teach your kid to hit from both sides of the plate...
  8. Yes Joe Ryan and SWR should be throwing bats, destroying lounge chairs. They did everything they could to win these last two games and got zero support. Somebody needs to raise hell and if Rocco, C4, BB or anyone else who thinks they're a leader won't do it then the youngsters might as well. They didn't just lose a pitcher when they let Gray walk, they lost a leader.
  9. Pitching tonight in Jacksonville - Devin Smeltzer Playing short - Tim Anderson. I still hate him.
  10. Could be clubhouse issues or something outside of baseball that we're not privy to. And he has options left...
  11. Scrolling to the bottom to respond to an article can be annoying - but that's a pretty minor beef. Technically I've never had any problems using the forums. I've been using the Internet since 95 and this forum works as well as any I've been on.
  12. The question should be asked to the umpire. In no other sport will a live play be stopped in a situation like this, unless a players life is in danger. And in this case there was absolutely no reason to believe it was. (I don't watch soccer so maybe I'm wrong). Do marathon runners all stop when one of them gets leg cramps?
  13. I was among the nay sayers all off season. But every day he gives me an atoadaso ("I told you so" for those who don't speak TPB). I'm now convinced his bat is real. Still not sold on his defense except for his versatility. But he's looking like a legit super utility guy.
  14. So how do the minor league rosters work. Say - a twin gets injured, they bring up a guy from St Paul. Now St Paul needs to bring up a guy from Wichita etc etc. It's there a limit to how many moves those teams can make? Are their rosters 26 also? Inquiring minds need to know ...
  15. I'm a bit old school. I can't cut off Berrios' value at the end of his contract. He could have been re-signed so it'll take longer to evaluate this deal in my eyes. But I'm glad we're finally getting a glimpse at our return.
  16. Get all the Diego Castillo's you can find. Any Castillo. I want a Castillo to Castillo to Castillo triple play. I want a Castillo on every base, at bat, on deck, and in the hole... Castillo gets the win, the hold, and the save. I want a Castillo selling popcorn...
  17. So we've all seen the video by now of the Bratwurst almost plowing over Byron Buxton in Milwaukee. Let's face it, if the guy HAD bowled him over and Buck had gotten injured, not a single one of us would have been surprised. It would be just another day in the Life of Byron. Like, of course he's out for two months now. But the fact that he DIDN'T get bowled over signals a change of luck. It's a good omen. This is the year he's going to play injury free!! All hail Lord Byron!!
