[Bobson Dugnutt]

yeah and im really not sure what part of the arm made him seem likable. put everything we know about him together and he just seems like a huge horsefeathers weirdo.

Don't see any updates but he can come off the DL Saturday

[Brian]

Sharma says it was the plan since yesterday that he wouldn't plan today. (KB that is)

[abuck1220]

Yeah, Bauer is a piece of horsefeathers.

 

Bauer being Bauer, the conventional approach never suffices. After settling for $6.525 million in salary arbitration this year, he was committed to give something back. So he conceived a campaign called "69 Days of Giving,'' marked by personal daily pledges of $420.69 and a final grand donation of $69,420.69 to a charity of his choosing. The off-color joke and marijuana reference were part of his plan.

 

"If I say I'm giving $100,000 to charity, everybody will be like, 'Oh, that's cool,' but no one will report it,'' Bauer said. "As soon as I attach obnoxious numbers like 69 and 420 to it, and I say in an article that I'm doing it to troll the establishment or whatever, now people latch on to it because they're like, 'That's funny,' and it catches more attention. So now it's a national story instead of just a one-hour story where everyone forgets about it.

 

hilarious

[Jaxbro]

Win turds

 

But alas this is real life and the great hitting and approached can not continue this many days in a row.

[Bertz]

I think It's fair to say that it is pretty cool that Bauer takes an engineer's approach to pitching and pitching mechanics.

 

I also think it's fair to say that Bauer should be happy the whole baseball thing worked out, because he has given no indication that he actually has the intelligence to have made a good engineer.

He was described as a nerdy guy who hacked his body into becoming a flamethrower using unconventional techniques. It was cool af.

Dood obviously craves attention. Probably explains why he gave up those back to back to back jacks to all our fav prospects forever ago in Spring Training.

[Sammys Boombox]

Pretty awesome we’re going to get these two games in.

Speaking of which, this aged well enough:

I can’t hear Len or JD. Anyone else?

Same

[soccer10k]

Has Almora ever not swung at the first pitch when leading off a game?

[javy knows my name]

No audio on CSN. So weird.

[OleMissCub]

there they are

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I can’t hear Len or JD. Anyone else?

 

Just came back for me. I love Len and JD, but the ballpark sound ambience is pretty cool too.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I know that sometimes my MLB ap will load incorrectly and inexplicably not include any announcer audio (but does have field audio). If you are using the ap on something, I'd try just reloading.

[Cubswin11]

Damn it Willy, he clearly wasn’t pitching to you. Just take 3-0.
