  1. Designated Hitter Eduardo Escobar, ladies and germs. Designated Genius Paul Molitor, ladies and germs.
  2. I show up and Buxton drops a can of corn. I'll wear that one My bad, folks. My bad.
  3. Nice job, 'sporto. BTW, you missed the obvious one: 75.67 percent of statistics you find on the internet are made up on the spot.
  4. Let's just hope he doesn't ruin tonight's play.
  5. Generally speaking, throwing changeups to same handed hitters is usually discouraged. Hoffman didn't have a reverse split for his career. Johan did, but by very little. Also in general, splits are often influenced by selection bias...a good LH pitcher, for example, will face mostly good or better LH hitters and few average or worse LH hitters. The LH hitters left in the lineup to face him are the ones who aren't platooned for. I believe my point stands...I'm skeptical of most any reverse platoon split. They're rare, and even then I'm skeptical it really represents what it seems to represent.
  6. That's not the question, is it? The question is, do they feel the front office is doing everything possible to augment it?
  7. I guess I don't see the difference in 1. Being afraid to use AAA depth because then you won't have depth, and 2. Not having any AAA depth. Functionally, they're the same thing, no?
  8. And that hasn't changed. He's probably a better hitter than Danny Santana.
  9. Personally, I'm skeptical of almost any reverse split. The number of RH pitchers who are good enough to pitch professionally, and truly are better against LH hitters, is pretty small. Same for hitters. Eventually, the weight of breaking balls going away from you, instead of into your swing,catches up.
  10. Yup. Book Bonser started game 2, the shell of Radke game three. Phil Nevin at DH game 1, Tyler game 2 and 3. Inexcusable.
  11. I keep coming back to: something Berrios did pissed them off. Nothing else makes sense. There isn't a rational explanation for both Tepesch and Wilk getting starts ahead of him.
  12. I didn't get through security quicker, but You fell for my disguise, though, dintcha?
  13. Get Buxton done now, while you still can. Like, RIGHT now.
  14. Not to worry. If the gas cans get some work, there'll be a blowout. You have the sequencing wrong, though.
  15. winnah! http://a.fod4.com/images/GifGuide/dancing/280sw007883.gif
  16. But was he getting strikes on pitches that big league hitters wouldn't swing at??
  17. Leave Duffey right the **** where he is, Falvine. In the pen.
  18. Like, one leg to the waist, maybe.
  19. Mrs Chief's method of sharing with me: http://www.seriouseats.com/images/2012/06/20120626-Chip-Face-Pringles-Gasket.jpg
