    Makes playing in PR look a bit better, doesn't it?
  3. Blake
    Fair enough. I did not say "no bunting with a no hitter under no circumstances." I stated the unwritten rules of no bunt are fine, providing the hitter is being played straight up. However, if the hitter is trying to hit against a shift, by all means lay down the bunt. The unwritten rules date back to before shifts became as prevalent as they are now. Baseball has long had those unwritten rules that everyone knew about and played by. I happen to like those traditions and I believe they have a place in baseball. However, that tradition is being turned on its head with all the shifts that are being used. So, if teams want to remain true to the unwritten rule, then they need to play the hitter straight up and not shift in the ninth inning. If a team wants to shift, then all bets are off in regards to the no bunt to break up the no-hitter.

    I'm not going to defend my position, because I've clearly stated what my position is.

    I absolutely agree that bunting should not be used to break up a no-hit bid...unless there is a shift on. If the unwritten rule is "don't bunt to break up the no hit bid" then the other unwritten rule is, "don't shift in the ninth if the no-hitter is still in play." Has to be a two way street. Anyway, the bunt needs to make a comeback and so does slapping the ball the other way. Hitters are going to have to adapt or they will be looking for another job.

    Save them for later. Never know when Jo Boo might need a chicken sacrificed.

    Game has been postponed, per MLB.com

    I have to believe these constant weather delays are hard on more than just the pitching. Really hard to get in any kind of pitching, hitting or just general groove with games being rescheduled due to weather.
  9. Blake
    Please. The answer is: Yes.

    That's outstanding and a nice bit of bowling and Twins lore. Thank you for sharing!

    I freely admit that I wrote off Mr. Mauer at the beginning of last year. I am more than happy to admit I was wrong and am thrilled to see the Joe M. of old return. New position, same slick fielding and now the stick is working again. Not many player manage to reinvent themselves but Mr. Mauer certainly did.

    You know the old saying, "Looks can be deceiving?" I think that picture safely puts that saying to rest.
  13. Blake
    Besides the post, I'll ask the obvious question: did you really bowl with Kent "Buy a Vowel" Hrbek?
  14. Blake
    Hey, I think I figured out how to shorten the game of baseball: Pitchers: Throw strikes and don't walk anybody. Oh, and fielders? Catch the ball once in a while. (looking at you, Sox players!)

    I like the direction of your humor.

    Your letters show real concern, RB. Commendable.
  20. Blake
    I noticed, but, I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to admit that I was old enough to get the reference.
  21. Blake
    Did the music reach a crescendo when Mauer got hit 2,000?
  22. Blake
    I think there's always a good time for hit 2,000 but it's even better when it doubles the score. Good job, Mr. Mauer!
  23. Blake
    Berrios' curve ball is ridiculous. I still cannot get over the ball starting outside and breaking over the middle of the plate.
  24. Blake
    Watching Berrios against the Chi Sox reminds me just how pitiless baseball is.
