Man, it's so nice to have a guy in charge who gets it:
-
Well, she's got a broken rib. Ouch.
-
A straight steal of home, especially with a slide that ridiculous, has to be about the most exciting playing baseball.
-
Anyone have a couple extras for the 7/5 game?

Agree that Zagunis looks like an interesting prospect. Obviously no standout tools, so he's not a significant trade chip. But a guy who's consistently .400+ OBP, consistently .800+ OPS, and consistently at least .400 slugging, and who has at least a little athleticism, that's got to be a candidate to be a useful major leaguer. Got a chance to be a professional hitter. And he's still young enough that there's some chance for improvement. A little more power? A little more drive and less ground balls? Sometimes it's the best and smartest hitters who are best able to identify and adjust to minimize their flaws. This will sound dumb, but he reminds me a little of a Cardinals prospect. Seemed they often had these college players, who weren't big tools guys and were never highly rated prospects, and who didn't come up young. But when some need created an opportunity, they so often seemed to have a next-man-up who was able to play solid, professional baseball. Could imagine Zagunis having a trajectory like that. Is he still catching or am I confusing him with someone else? If so, the bolded sounds a lot like Jason Kendall.

Well, that'll probably do it. -
What amazes me is how many times it's been posted that the Archer/Mcnutt thing is false and you still haven't gotten it.

I was in the left center bleachers and had a great view of the play. It was comically bad and I immediately made fun of him for it, especially since it happened right after he couldn't catch Ross' ball.

Hey, I was out in the bleachers last night, and while I may not be much to look at, my gf is a fine looking lass. pics or gtfo Next I suppose you'll want one with me in it.......

I'm not sure how many of you will remember this, but hearken back to the days of trading for Phil Nevin. Remember he came from some AL team and had pretty much just been DHing? He was so out of shape that he couldn't play 1B every day and we all laughed at him because that was truly ridiculous. I'm no world class athlete but I work out regularly and am in fairly decent shape. I played 1B the other day at my daughter's softball practice so they could all get some extra fielding in and I couldn't believe how jacked up I felt the next day. I was tight in places I didn't even realize I had used the day before. Moral of the story: I'm old and Phil Nevin probably was in better shape than most of us as an old, fat first baseman.

Dude, you're old AF! (I was born the same day) Share a birthday with Dusty Baker. I usually go with Wade Boggs.

Harper's post game interview was horsefeathering terrific! I want him in this team so much.
-
Man, if they have to ship off prospects to get Dusty to rearrange the lineup, their more screwed than I thought.
-
Well, they shouldn't, because that would utterly defeat the purpose of making the trade. They're looking to get a large quantity of good prospects to restock their system, not get a couple ML players that aren't going to get them anywhere further than they currently are this year. The Angels shouldn't trade Trout for Rizzo and Bryant? Well, yeah, that would be a good deal, but certainly not the point of what they'd be trying to do. Of course, they could certainly go spin those two for more prospects, but the quickness with which they'd get told to pound sand is immeasurable.

What would you say if they asked for 2 of Rizzo, Schwarber, Russell, And Bryant? Well, they shouldn't, because that would utterly defeat the purpose of making the trade. They're looking to get a large quantity of good prospects to restock their system, not get a couple ML players that aren't going to get them anywhere further than they currently are this year.

Soler just got screwed on strike 3.
-
I was thinking the same thing. ahhh. something to complain about. feels kinda good. Honestly, for me, a lot less because of Lackey and more because several of the pen guys haven't gotten much work.
-
Yeah, I'd be completely fine with the stretch being replays of Harry, Ernie, and Santo forever.
