Ball Security

I saw video of him working out. Not too concerned about him.

White Todd is not endearing himself to this judge. ”There’s two systems of justice in this courtroom? That’s what you’re saying”

Shout out to @Cooked Crackfor the Adam Klasfeld recommendation. IMO, he has the best play by play.

Conroy: We are not yet seeking an incarceratory penalty.

They are at home helping Baron get ready for finals.

I mean, how entertaining was that fourth quarter? Wow.

Yeah, probably will not recover from that. Doubt he hits another.

I read where Ruiz has lost 18-20 lbs with the flu. After not going after Hoskins, I was hoping they’d carry a third catcher and have Ruiz DH and Adams play 1B some. Keep them from getting run ragged behind the plate.

Yeah, not the dumbest thing I’ve heard ever, but I have something similar with coworkers. This was on the eve of the Obama/Romney election. My colleague graduated from an Ivy and had a CPA. He wanted to debate “ideas” and not “personalities”- this was after the Romney remark about freeloaders not paying taxes. We were talking about the income tax structure. Reminder this is a CPA, he didn’t understand the progressive nature of our income tax system. When I asked him, all things equal, does someone at the low end of the 25% bracket take home less than the person at the top end of the 22% bracket. (Bracket % are made up, can’t remember what they were exactly at the time.) In other words, did he think one’s income is ALL taxed at the highest percentage. He swore up and down that it was. He had his sidekick join in and laugh at me. “I would love it if it was designed the way you describe.” I told them it was. Prove it. Look at the IRS webpage Fake news. Okay. Phone a friend. So he called his personal account and said that he was trying to clear up a debate. He got an answer he did not like and mopingly went back to perusing the Drudge Report.

Because it will be better for the organization to have control over him in his age 26 season instead of burning one of his six seasons floundering. He’s had under 100 PAs in AAA. Most of them were last year when he had a sub .800 OPS.

So what do you do with Holliday? Keep riding him out there, or do you send him back down? It’s unlikely that he can put up numbers to win ROY at this point. You can gain an extra year of control by sending down.

As I understand it, the jury has been seated. Do opening arguments start today?

Garcia, Winker, Williams, and the three Gray replacement starts have been an outstanding surprise to the young season.

Following him in the minors, he tended to give up lots of walks. Through two outings, he has zero which puts him on pace for…let me carry the one…yep, zero walks.

Mitchell Parker is going steal Cy Young votes away from Trevor Williams. Sad!

Would be amazing if they have drafted some rotation pieces: Parker, Irvin, Cavalli, Rutledge. Also, a good day to take a CJ stolen base bet at +205.

Something’s gotta give. Garrett is hitting in Harrisburg. They need to make room for him and Wood. Rosario makes sense. Then you gotta find someone else. And then Robles should return at some point.

Really good baserunning by Nunez. He knew he’s scoring if the ball lands and knows he has to get to third if they catch it.

Haha. I was ready to release Thomas then he makes that throw. Wow. Question: do you pinch run Nunez for Gallo here and see if you can steal third?

This bullpen hates Trevor Williams.

Evidently it’s come out that the ATF agents didn’t have their body cameras on which is a violation of their policies.

Haha, it’d be quite poetic if Nunes becomes the target of these “retail investors”.

Abrams, Winker, and Garcia with a sprinkle of Adams are the only ones giving them any offense. If only they had an OFer with pop in the high minors.

He should be. Not only did Gallo get his AB taken away from him, they got screwed on the SB call.

Haha. That last line about Gore was definitely sultry.
