    Oh, well hopefully they still have the original box he came in...
  2. wsnydes
    Would that qualify as "gently used"?
  3. wsnydes
    Nope. Dyson in for the 9th.

    If you're going to PR for a guy that just PH while he's on 1B, why not just PH the would be PR? If he was in scoring position be more inclined to agree with you though.
  5. wsnydes
    An attempt was made. Maybe. Probably not.
  6. wsnydes
    Unfortunately, there are more than a couple of outs per half inning.
  7. wsnydes
    According to Provus, Dyson has arrived.
  8. wsnydes
    Great to see that hard work paying off too.
  9. wsnydes
    This team is so much more interesting with him in the lineup.
  10. wsnydes
    Atta boy Buxton!
  11. wsnydes
    That's what Dazzle implied on the radio. Sounds like Mattingly was talking to him, so he probably messed up a sign.
  12. wsnydes
    Fair enough. I'm not going to be too picky at that point in the season. Just win and I'll be happy.
  13. wsnydes
    Or the occasional November?
  14. wsnydes
    Been saying it all year, this offense really took off when Pineda came off the IL.
  15. wsnydes
    I'm following on radio, is this a Bugs Bunny cartoon?
  16. wsnydes
    Ok way to start.
  17. wsnydes
    Romo and Dyson should reduce the need to use Rogers as often. And Rogers has only thrown 23 pitches this week. All in the last two days.
  18. wsnydes
    This is more interesting than it should be...
  19. wsnydes
    Or have multiple girls named Mary.
  20. wsnydes
    I had some a few weeks ago. It hit the spot.
  21. wsnydes
    I just figured that the FO was stockpiling cash for moves just like this.
  22. wsnydes
    I liked that he went for it too. What I didn't like is that he went for it by trading the team's best trade chip for a guy that they already had. Capps' numbers were virtually identical to Rauch's.

    The best angle that I saw made it look like he was halfway down the line. I agree, a good angle would be helpful. In my view, if he had a modest lead and then froze he would have had a good chance at getting back. If he's a third of the way down the line (let alone half), in my opinion, that's too far. He risks getting doubled off in a situation like that. The mistake then becomes in the lead, not necessarily in whether he froze or not. Even on a contact play, he has to make sure the ball hits the ground. I look at it similarly to a pickoff attempt by the pitcher. He has to make sure that he can beat the 3B back to the bag. If the 3B could get to the bag that quickly in this situation, then Cave should have been able to as well.

    I wouldn't consider that a strong throw. Good under the circumstances, but hardly a rifle to 3B. I would also consider that a line drive whether it's close to the ground or not. As Chief said, if it gets through he's scoring anyway. I don't necessarily disagree that he's out one way or another (it's likely), but at least try. I don't like simply handing the opponent outs. I'm just bothered more by the lack of try. Lots of things could happen that could have resulted in Cave being safe at the bag. Don't compound one mistake by making another. It happened quickly, but not so quickly that Cave couldn't have been trying to get back to the bag.
  25. wsnydes
    I guess we had very different coaches. I was always taught to freeze on a line drive. Make sure that it hits the ground or is caught before doing anything. If he hesitates and doesn't score but the out is recorded at first so be it. There's still a runner in scoring position and another batter comes to the plate with another chance to drive him in. If you don't know whether it hit the ground or not, err on the side of caution. Live to fight another day. If that ball was hit to 3B, I'd understand. I don't recall seeing too many 3-5 putouts. The ball was caught at knee height. Nice play by Olson for sure and it's made even better doubling Cave off. I'm still more bothered by the fact that Cave didn't even try to get back to the bag. Even if the contact play was on, not trying to get back is a mistake. With as weak as the throw was, he could have at least made it close.
