    yeah, that's why I went back immediately and deleted that part (the part that said: And the balk rule doesn't have anything to do with the batter), before all the corrections came,

    It was not a balk. Pitcher broke no rule. It also, IMO, wouldn't have even been a really a bad decision by Torii if circumstances were different, because if Guthrie goes through his normal motion, Torii is safe. The pitcher had to make a hurried throw right on the money to get him and he did it. He was just out. I'm not sure bases loaded and two out with a guy like Vargas up is the right time.

    The latter

    Ortiz is an ego-maniac so of course he refers to Vargas as Little Papi. To Papi, the game is all about Papi.

    Nothing at all wrong with Mauer's defense. He certainly doesn't belong in that group of defensive hacks.

    'Though MLB lacks an official batting-around definition, it does have an official historian, John Thorn. “The derivation of many of our baseball terms is cloaked in fog,” said Thorn. But Thorn believes he has the answer. He said in a recent interview that the phrase batting around “almost certainly” comes from a game that was a precursor to baseball called town ball, which was played in North America in the 18th and 19th centuries. In this cricket-like game, an entire side batted before an inning was over. In at least one variation, Thorn said, there was an added stipulation: If the last player in the order hit a home run, the entire lineup would bat again—or “bat around.” Based on that history, the answer should be 10. “It’s what makes sense,” Thorn said. And if the above doesn't do it for ya, look below. 'But Vin Scully, the legendary broadcaster who has been calling Dodgers games since 1950, disagrees. A team spokesman said that Scully belongs to Team 10, because “the term ‘around’ implies that you’re back to the top.”' Hmm, DickBert says 9, and VIN SCULLY says 10. I will side with the legendary Vin Scully. :-)

    If Blyleven could have put up numbers like that in today's game he'd be worth over 20M a season and there would be no debate he was HOF worthy, but one wonders if he could have. Much different age.

    I hope the Cubs don't mess Russell up by having him play 2B. He has less than 10 games at 2B in the minors and he looks shaky there. He looks very good at shortstop. They need to trade Castro if they can (and even with that contract, they should be able to) or move him to 2B since he's shaky at SS

    or from Double-A

    when did we get a centerfielder?
  12. jimmer
    doubtful. first he plays more shallow than ours normally do and, well, our guys just aren't as talented.
  13. jimmer
    speed, great route and skill

    If we lose this game by one it will be because of Mauer. Not because the pitching gave up 6 runs.
  16. jimmer
    close. Dodgeball.
  17. jimmer
    Doesn't Mauer fall under the local boy does good umbrella? If that's the reason, why would Hrbek be over Mauer? And Ripken deserved ROY that year
  18. jimmer
    Cannibas?

    The future is now for the Cubs. They may not make the playoffs this year, but those two studs will get valuable experience and get adjusted to the majors this year in preparation for next year. Not that I've counted them out this year at all, but it'll be exciting for the fans to see the future on the field.

    Thanks everyone for the Circus Boy explanation.
  21. jimmer
    Addison Russell was called up by the Cubs.

    Well, Bert and Richard said a bat around inning is 9 batters batting in an inning. So now we know for sure it's 10.
  23. jimmer
    bias how?
  24. jimmer
    Well, Bert and Richard just said a bat around inning is 9 batters batting in an inning. So now we know for sure it's 10.
  25. jimmer
    I see. Thanks. Either this umpire has a really low strike zone or KCs catcher is doing a great framing job.
