  1. Danny Gladden: "fly to right center, Kepler calling it...and that's gonna be Kepler calling it."
  2. 1. Comments on a comment board will always outnumber comments by the player. There's far more of us. 2. The reason why we're commenting is that we're incredulous that a bunt in that situation would raise eyebrows. Why exactly, is what happened not ok? 3. The runner the Orioles did not hold on came with two outs. Isn't it possible the Orioles decided it was better to play a true defense in an attempt to get the third out, rather than prevent a slightly higher chance of a stolen base? 4. If it's not a big deal, then why do they care if things are done that way or not? As Sisco accurately pointed out, the Orioles were able to load the bases for Schoop and Jones--two guys quite capable of hitting a grand slam and turning a blowout into a game, particularly against a guy around 100 pitches who might be tiring. Is it not the number 9 hitters job to set the table for the big bats at the top of the order? That's exactly what Sisco did, and if the O's clubhouse thinks playing smart and until the final out is recorded is something that shouldn't be done, they're in for a long year.
  3. Lynn and Gibson seem to be in a walking contest.
  4. I came in halfway through his thought, and only heard him say that Sisco is a young player, and the Orioles do have veteran leadership. Also, Dozier thinks Taillon should man up and swing the bat. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of veterans in the Pirates clubhouse to take care of it.
  5. That's 2 bunts for base hits to third already today--any chance Dozier isn't the clubhouse leader we've been led to believe? Also, surprise surprise, Danny thinks Dozier's comments were absolutely correct.
  6. Is this a typo, or did you mean to spell it like that? If you meant to do that, I think you've spent too much time with Pokemon.
  7. Exactly. It's like a basketball team getting upset that when they double the post, the offense takes an open 3. Or a football team fuming when the offense passes the ball every time they put 8 in the box. I don't mind some of baseball's unwritten rules, but the Infallible Guide to the Appropriateness of Bunting drives me insane.
  8. That quote by Dozier was one of the dumbest things I've ever read. I want every team to bunt against the Twins when they shift now.
  9. I mean, you have 8 guys in the pen, a day off tomorrow, and a day off Friday. I don't think the pen needs to be saved. Barring us getting back into the game however, Kinley needs to pitch today.
  10. Completely inaccurate. Lynn has recorded 3 outs--recording none would obviously have been worse.
  11. Sorry to break it to everyone, but the Twins are winless this year when not scoring first.
  12. So you're saying they should have brought in Buxton?
  13. Metaphorically of course, as I am, in fact, typing.
  14. I didn't hire Chief to work my shift key, so on this forum I always speak for myself.
  15. Not to split hairs or anything, but every hitter on the Twins roster is, by definition, a professional hitter. Just kidding, I ABSOLUTELY meant to split hairs.
  16. Simple math tells us only 25% as good as Duke though.
  17. http://is3.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music62/v4/43/d6/f5/43d6f5fb-546e-00f4-77c8-33e034731235/source/1200x630bb.jpg
  18. Update--according to a quick google switch, not only does Robbie not currently have a girlfriend/fiance/wife, there is no record of a past relationship. I therefore declare my intention to change Robbie's name from SpongeRob GrossPants to Lone Wolf Grossman, or LWG for short.
  19. My guess is if you kiss his wife, your interaction with his hand will not involve shaking.
