    I may be in the minority here, but Mr. Plouffe has never impressed me as an outstanding 3B. I know his metrics have improved markedly, but going from absolute suck to competent is kind of a low bar, donchya think? I've not the time nor inclination to analyze a ton of intense stats, but eyeball wise, I still see his positioning and first step, although greatly improved, as less than stellar. Granted, he's made plenty of highlight reel plays, but some of those I've seen needn't have been highlight-reel quality with better positioning. As for Mr. Sano, well, I'm old enough to remember a certain Idahoan holding down 3B in the late 60's-early 70's. And even as a little kid playing Pee Wee ball, I understood you sacrifice some defense for a load of offense at that position. I don't know what the fuss is about having Sano become an elite-level fielder as well as hoping for 40 HRs out of him annually. If he can play an adequate 3B, (as Mr. P is doing now), and slug the ball around, I'll live without a few Gold Gloves over there. As the old-timers used to say -oops, guess I am one, now-- the biggest thing you need to have at 3rd is a "strong chest." Yep. He's got that.

    OMG, What????? Just came back for the papers I forgot, and get THIS news? WTF, Molly? I thought we'd already dodged the Boyer Bullet for this game.

    Drag, too- they're on to me here at school. Blocking all the sport-streaming sites, have to follow on a scoreboard one. And you lot, for the commentary. Oh, well, off to class again. Hopefully, the rally happens when I'm away.

    What th...? We got out of that one? wow, hats off to my man Boyer. That is, if my heart can climb back down from my larynx. See what you do to me, Big Red?
  5. David HK
    Gawd-- I was on the HK ferry in a storm the other day. I get the same feeling whenever I see Boyer coming in to throw. Where's the pukey- smiley thingy?

    JR Graham on again- with a huge lead again. I suppose it's a confidence-builder? And somebody has to. Kinda seems like a soccer game, where they sub a guy in with 2-3 minutes left. Gee, thanks, coach! Heh..

    Well, I'm tipping my hat to Pelf. He worked hard, got the job done for 7.

    I like that Ramirez- he comes up to the plate with a mean-azz look on his face! The kind of look that says "I don't take no guff. Me in the 9-hole with my robust .179. I don't take no guff."

    I always liked 'Zak. Wrestling aside...
  10. David HK
    Geez, he's looking more like SSSS-Pelf now. Stop teasing us.
  11. David HK
    Jeepers- It looks like dueling Pelfs, with him and Bauer out there.
  12. David HK
    Well, I was wondering when the Snapper Lawn Mower Pelf-Implosion Inning was going to take place. It's only 2-2, so doesn't quite qualify. Yet.
  13. David HK
    Nah. Although we seem to share the same last letter--
  14. David HK
    Oh, my lord- the immortal Mickey Dolenz?!? (He said, dating himself)
  15. David HK
    Hmm. Just got the game going. Pelf with an early lead. Wondering which Pelf we get today- SSSS-Pelf (Small Sample Size Super-Pelf) of last month, or Regular Pelf, from last time, that we all know and love?
  16. David HK
    Viva Terlingua! Ouch!

    Checking in on the baseball match between Philadelphia's Athletics and Senators Twinks-- Wow, 0-4 the first time, 4-4 the second. And in between, memories invoked of my man Jerry Jeff and the gang... Heh-- just another Tuesday in HK.
  18. David HK
    Heh... I used to copy that stance as a joke in the old men's league. Course, most of my hitting was chuckle-inducing anyway...
  19. David HK
    Yep- sunny, muggy HK Land of dim sum and milk tea- and no democraceeeeee.....
  20. David HK
    Wait a minute- we had a baserunner? Drat, back to 'work,' just when it got exciting.
  21. David HK
    Busy day, tho, can only check in occasionally. Too busy wearing my Willy Wonka costume at the school book fair today.
  22. David HK
    Yipe. It's just so sad looking at a boxscore. Just tuned in on the internets- 0 hits. Again. Most Twin avgs below the Mendoza line. Sad, sad, sad. On the other hand, I don't mind those west coast games. It's 11AM here, a far more civilized hour.
  23. David HK
    Alas, Cerrano... Maybe need hats for bats?
  24. David HK
    I have only one wish- that this game were the White Sox, and I could listen the Hawk cry and moan about it... The Indians crew are actually handling this mess with restraint....
  25. David HK
    Waaaaah- ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa! There's a worse defensive team than us!
