  1. Yeah I regret saying that about DJ.... It wasn't fair to jump to the conclusion so quickly Taking time to reflect I think it truly was a freak accident. His life has changed, one kid and another on the way.
  2. You can always ship a 6 pack to us in the states!
  3. He's listed at 145 lbs.... I think I last weighed 145 lbs in 8th grade.... Someone needs to buy him a Double Double Animal Style!
  4. Big fan of Wade... Looking forward to tracking his progress this season!
  5. Video not available yet, but the transcript of the interview can be found here.
  6. 60 Minutes had an exclusive interview with Shohei Otani last night... Trying to find the video as we speak, and will post it once it's available. He WILL sign with an MLB team after the 2017 season, CBA and potential money left on the table be damned. The big key with him signing in the MLB is finding a team that will allow him to pitch and DH or play in the field. I don't know how he'll choose his MLB team all things being equal. After watching his highlights and interview last night, I'd love for that guy to be on my favorite team.
  7. Who had their money on Michael Tonkin being the hidden player on a 13 man pitching staff? Clearly Molitor will not trust him or use him in high leverage situations....
  8. I really underestimated how bad the division is going to be this year... The Royals' bullpen went from their best weapon to a disaster. Once the White Sox sell off the rest of their good players are going to be very bad in the 2nd half.
  9. I'd love to see them continue to beat up AL Central teams for the rest of the month.... And see how they do against true contending teams.
  10. Pictured: Derek Falvey sleeping on August 1, 2017 if Erv keeps it up until the trade deadline. http://mrwgifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Huell-Babineaux-Sleeping-On-The-Money-In-Breaking-Bad_408x408.jpg
  11. YES!! Sergio gets an eagle on 15!! We got ourselves a ballgame!
  12. Sigh... Poor Sergio. I really hope he can make this comeback after being in the driver's seat.
  13. It would be interesting to learn how the new regime measures Berrios' success. Having a great stat line has never been the issue in AAA.... When I hear about measuring strike rate, "pitch to contact" enters my mind... Berrios has too good of stuff to be a pitch to contact player. Do they measure him by how accurate he's hitting his spots during an at bat? Since catchers do set up for a low and away slider to get a batter chasing for example....
  14. It's a tough decision to make. He provides elite defense and has already saved a couple of runs from his highlight reel catches. Clearly his struggles at the plate lose a couple of runs as well. Since he's critical to the team, I'd lean towards giving him the rope he needs to hit out of this slump.
  15. I feel bad for Buxton. Nothing is clicking at the plate right now.
  16. Rickie would be a good choice for a winner. I'm rooting for ol' Sergio Garcia this afternoon...
  17. As you know, any time is a good time for a snooze on the couch!
  18. It'll feel like 11:10 AM now that I'm used to pacific time! Getting back to normal life tomorrow is going to be tough!
  19. Early morning for me flying back from California... Should be prime nap weather with the Masters and Twins on this afternoon!
  20. They really need to change up the playoff format once the CBA is up. This is silly that the best 2 teams in the West face off in the 2nd round.
  21. It sounds like we're burying the lead story here... Bartolo was hitting 95+ consistently? Is this 1998?
  22. I counted him out, and he clawed back into it today. Rooting for Sergio Garcia tomorrow... He's been around so long I'd love to see him win it.
  23. I'll be looking forward to the pic of your seats for things to think about!
  24. 89-90 with the occasional 91 in there. Chief said it well... The stuff isn't there but he did a good job limiting the damage.
  25. Is Del Rosario pictured in the article? Wirey is right... Somebody donate a steak to that man!
