    Bigger than a softball?

    Are you referring to the movie? 20 questions.

    It was a ball, but you can't argue balls and strikes. Therefore, it was the right thing to kick him out of the game.
  4. ScrapTheNickname
    Tiggers and Twinkies. Any other insulting nicknames for teams that any of you may know of?
  5. ScrapTheNickname
    But making the second out at third is okay? I never quite understood that.

    Memo RE: Brian Dozier Yes, to all those offensive stats, but how about defense. Hasn't he perfected the the fall-to-the-ground-on-one-knee and-throw-simultaneously method, and doesn't he seem to turn the double play as well as anybody, and he has not made just 3 errors so far this season? So I thought I would look up the DWAR of the second basemen in the American League. I found that Dozier is tied for 5th best defensive second basement in the AL. (I do not pretend to understand DWAR, thus I won't defend it). But someone else, looking at these stats, might have a better idea about what is actually going when rating second basemen). 1.Kinsler 1.3 2.Infante .9 3.Sogard .7 4.Kipnis .6 5.Altuve .4 6.Dozier .4 7.Forsyth .4 8.Cano -.1 9.Pedroia -.2 10.Giavotella -.7

    Great article. You mention that "Dozier continues to flash the leather routinely in the field." Yes, he has perfected the the fall-to-the-ground-on-one-knee and-throw-simultaneously method, and he seems to turn the double play as well as anybody, and he has only made 3 errors thus far. So I thought I would look up the DWAR of the second basemen in the American League. I found that Dozier is tied for 5th best defensive second basement in the AL.

    Brian, I'm in Pacific Time (AZ), which is a bitch for the opposite reason. How would you like games to start at 5 p.m.? And East Coast games to start at 4 p.m.? It sucks, if that's not already apparent.

    Dozier will pass on the All Star Game in favor of MVP after the season is over?
  10. ScrapTheNickname
    I wish you hadn't.

    I looked up Lambic Pajamas and this is what I got.

  13. ScrapTheNickname
    Lambic is apparently a Belgium beer, so now you're getting somewhere.

    If so, by mistake.
  17. ScrapTheNickname
    It sounds true. Thanks. Never noticed that before! (
  18. ScrapTheNickname
    Done with that at bat, I mean.
  19. ScrapTheNickname
    This is going nowhere. When it goes there it will be there Just wait Wait another second Robinson .... Robinson ... And whatever they do don't ever, ever pinch run for Sano again. I'm done.

    Anybody remember the last time the MN Twins performed a suicide squeeze, failed or successful?
  21. ScrapTheNickname
    As if you needed an excuse?

    Check out this picture of "Brian Dozier" in today's New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/09/sports/baseball/nine-strikeouts-help-indians-to-a-victory-and-a-record.html?&moduleDetail=section-news-2&action=click&contentCollection=Baseball&region=Footer&module=MoreInSection&version=WhatsNext&contentID=WhatsNext&configSection=article&isLoggedIn=true&pgtype=article I guess, outside of NYC, Brian Dozier looks like just the next guy.

    Chapman is probably the best reliever in baseball. I'd say we could find some way to use him!
  24. ScrapTheNickname
    Brad Ausmus bugs me. Is it because he has a face that perpetually looks like it has no idea what the hell is going on?
  25. ScrapTheNickname
    I must say Brian, that you were born at the top of the food chain. You didn't do any climbing. Be kind to salads. Like Sano, you must take what the pitcher gives you. Also like that Michiganers bring spiders into the house - where they belong!
