Minor League Discussion and Box 4-6-14

[ctcf]

Hey folks. As our benevolent leader Raisin mentioned, he managed to find somewhere sunnier than southern California and is off to soak up some rays this week. As such, you poor bastards are stuck with me. I bring you our first real set of day games down on the farm, some interesting pitching and hopefully a chilled out Javy.

Ouch. Hope you don't live too far at least.

[rawaction]

I didn't know that [expletive] even played SS. How did that throwing error look?

[abuck1220]

which one? he's had two. fans turning on him.

[Irrelevant Dude]

......And Javy is being benched today.

Well deserved in my opinion.

What did he do?

[PackLandVA]

Probably for showing up the ump last night and getting tossed.

[Guest]

More like a power tripping ump wanted to show what a big man he was and tossed him for rightly showing disgust at a shitty call.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I heard he was benched for a "Come at me, bro!" pose.

Baez HR

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Javy apparently just hit a HR from the bench. I knew he was good.

[abuck1220]

waaaay out in front of it, muscled it out to left. stud.

Does whatever the [expletive] he wants.

[Cubswin11]

Is that his first hit in Iowa?

[gscool89]

Is that his first hit in Iowa?

Yes

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Call him up now.

[Guest]

Would be funny if it was the errors that made the manager say [expletive] it and bring Javy in

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bad call or not, Baez needs to learn to control his emotions a little better. I have seen several occasions over the past year where he has argued calls or made outward displays toward the umpire and I don't want that to become a pattern with him. Hopefully today's benching got his attention and he can put this behind him and proceed on a positive note after the pinch hit home run.

[Gilby]

Christian Villanueva's been intentionally walked twice today to get to Brett Jackson who is 0-4 with 2 K's.

[abuck1220]

damn five feet from a grand slam...

[Guest]
