    Quite the assist, too. The entire net was wide open. I almost couldn't miss.
  2. USAFChief
    I'll help you decide: "Because they make up everything."
  3. USAFChief
    yes.

    physicist joke: why can't you trust an atom?
  5. USAFChief
    Yes, but it's skin deep.
  6. USAFChief
    possibly, but keep in mind all the TD posters are above average.
  7. USAFChief
    Correct. But that is YOUR fault, not mine sir.

    A man who hires himself as his bartender has a fool for a client?

    A shot of whiskey works best, IMO.

    I like that attempt at driving in a run, though! GIMENEZ!!1!
  11. USAFChief
    Not a big fan of a two out bunt with a runner on.

    ESCO-EN FUEGO-BAR!!! Let's hope his establishment features chicken today!

    Two things about curveballs...if a hitter is pretty sure a curve is coming, it's a lot less effective. The other thing about curve balls...it's not the great curveball that you snap off that gets you in trouble. It's that hanger that rolls up there, thigh high, with a big "hit me" flashing neon sign. Throw one bad one for every good one, and you are likely not a very good pitcher.

    Great job HBD!
  15. USAFChief
    Nicely done, HBD!

    I think it's as simple as Hicks, with loads of physical talent, just needed ABs at the major league level. Not everyone figures it out, but it was incredibly stupid of Ryan to invest all that time into Hicks, and then before seeing what he might get as a reward, trading him for a guy who was never, ever going to be a major contributor. Trade him for a struggling pitcher with ace stuff? Ok, that would be a reasonable bet. Trade him for Murphy? Really bad bet. Really bad, even if Hicks never got better. That's like trading your pocket aces for 2-7 off suit because you saw the top flop card and it was a six.

    Bottom line: he must hit better than he has, or he's not going to stay in anyone's lineup. There is no level of defense that makes up for a 50 OPS+. Fortunately, he probably will. He was a good hitter throughout the minors.

    I'll admit I expected Grossman to fall off the earth this year. I'm still not convinced he's this good of a hitter, but I have to admit the sample size is growing. And he was remarkably consistent in the minors, all he's really done in the majors is add a little power, which isn't unusual as a hitter matures. And he's just fine as an occasional corner outfielder. So what I guess I'm saying is...Maybe.
  19. USAFChief
    At least Pressly has the stuff to occasionally dominate, mixed in with blowups. He also might get better. I'd rather he be on the staff than someone who never dominates, mixed in with the blowups.
  20. USAFChief
    Yes.
  21. USAFChief
    Pythag...pfffft. So 2007, man. Base runs!
  22. USAFChief
    Rogers now hasn't pitched since an inning Jun 8 at Seattle. Thanks, Molly. Sunday is on you.
  23. USAFChief
    Maybe, maybe not, but we'll all be groan at your grammar.
  24. USAFChief
    Old...and mean. Your ban will be over in three days. Sonny.
  25. USAFChief
    I'd give him another start, too, but there wasn't much to like about his performance yesterday. Perhaps just a bad day, but his command was awful. The only thing he could get over the plate was a fastball, and he couldn't spot that.
