  1. Soler's single was not one that I would consider a "seeing eye" grounder.
  2. I have no idea what this is, but I like it.
  3. He crushed a ball to center, but got under it just a tiny bit and it went off the wall. It was only a single because he stood there admiring it instead of running. Why did Baez not score? He wasn't sure whether the ball would be caught, which is completely understandable.
  4. He was pulled late last night after tweaking his back. It didn't look like anything serious.
  5. This is a really good question, but my guess it that it would need to be "resumed" before it could be considered an official game.
  6. That's what a 1 WAR grounds crew can do for a team.
  7. Longest delay to rain ratio ever? I have no proof to back that up, but it must be true.
  8. I've always wondered why the tarp has to be in one gigantic piece that can be easily weighed down by rain. Why can't it be a few smaller pieces that cover up just the dirt? Each piece will be lighter and more manageable. I assume it is at least partially because smaller tarps would be more susceptible to wind and harder to keep in place, whereas the weight of a large tarp ensures that it stays where they put it. I can just picture small tarps blowing through the air like what usually happens when I attempt to rake my leaves onto one.
  9. Only a few more hours until the sun will come up to dry out the infield... might as well wait it out!
  10. And the infield is a mess... It might be awhile before this game resumes, if at all. What the hell happened there? How could it possibly take 15 minutes? The tarp got stuck and they couldn't pull it any further, so after a long struggle they took it back off and got it on the second time. Then when they removed the tarp, they dumped a ton of water into shallow right field, much of which ran right back onto the infield dirt. I imagine they will get a stern talking to after this performance.
  11. And the infield is a mess... It might be awhile before this game resumes, if at all.
  12. I don't know if any of it was shown on tv, but the grounds crew took about 15 minutes to get the infield covered. They seemingly had no idea what they were doing. Now they are trying to figure out how to take it off. Good times...
  13. I would be ok with Jackson taking over for Villanueva next year in the swing/long relief role. If he can't handle that, then DFA him mid-season.
  14. Why don't we have a sub-forum for ticket inquiries?
  15. My guess is that there will still be a lot of tickets available after this season. I think people would be surprised how few season ticket holders really understand the big picture and follow the minor league teams. There is still going to be a pretty big turnover from the people who have signed up over the past few seasons and didn't understand how bad the resale market is. This could be the "last hurrah" though before available season tickets slow to a crawl and the waiting list begins to expand back in the other direction.
  16. Good for Theo. It's too bad the none of the owners voted against this during collective bargaining. I know it isn't worth getting worked up over, but I hate this system so much.
  17. Yowzers! Almora to Tennessee is surprising, but Soler to Iowa... If that team wasn't already must-watch TV, they certainly are now. I really wish I could make a trip to Des Moines.
  18. Who is that odd-looking guy who was just shown in the crowd and looked like he was on drugs and/or wanted to beat someone's ass?
