    Outside of the fact that most backup catchers are terrible hitters, I've always found that strategy to be completely irrational as well. If the game gets that late and your catcher gets hurt, oh well, get 'em tomorrow. That looked like the proverbial unintentional intentional walk by Axford. Either that or he's deathly afraid of any LH hitter.

    Russell.

    He's not. He's hurt.

    Ump said if he had the chance to call it again it wouldn't be a strike. Thanks buddy. :roll:

    I don't have an issue with that. You bite on a pump fake, you deserve negative consequences. You should. If the offensive guy leans into the defender, that should never, ever be called a foul. If the the defender stays vertical, you're rewarding the offensive guy for initiating contact. It's a crap play and awful officiating when it gets called.

    Yep. There was a 3-4 play stretch in the first half where they missed a goal tend, called a BS foul on McGary, missed a kick which should have reset the shot clock for Louisville (that was at about 9 when it happened), and then called McGary for a travel on a rebound when he was obviously pushed. And that's just one sequence. Absolutely embarrassing performance all around, and that doesn't even get into the wrestling match they let things become in general. Bilas has been bitching about this for a couple years now and he's exactly right about it. They have to get rid of all the grabbing and pushing that teams (read: Wisconsin) get away with to muck it up and give themselves a chance.

    No it's not. It's definitely a foul, but with the body. That's all ball up top. Absolutely legit foul call, but not on the wrist/arm.

    It's on MLB Network.

    First time I've listened to the new TV combo. Not a big fan of Deshaies' voice. Not very strong. Hopefully the analysis is good.

    I'll buy this line of thinking if only because I know how horrendously difficult the HR department at my company makes it to fire people. You have to have absolute, lock down, no questions asked proof of something pretty egregious for them to allow you to fire someone. We had a CDL driver get a DUI that he didn't report to us and the only reason HR let us fire him was because his CDL expired before his court proceedings were over; he couldn't renew his license and therefore couldn't drive. They're just so paranoid about potential lawsuits.

    Be greedy. Then we can talk trash tomorrow!

    Yeah, he honestly wasn't bad today. One hard hit ball to the best player on the other team and a walk on a pitch he more than likely got squeezed on. Throw in the K and the DP ball and it's not nearly as bad as the numbers make it look.
  13. mul21
    At least he's throwing strikes?
  14. mul21
    Well, damn. I didn't know Gllispie had gotten canned (again) and Tubby had replaced him.
  15. mul21
    Gillispie replaced Tubby. Tubby basically replaced Gillispie with an interim thrown in the middle. Um, no. Tubby replaced Pitino at UK. Pitino (the younger) just got hired to replace Tubby at Minnesota. The internets have much information.....
  16. mul21
    Oh, that's amazing!
  17. mul21
    Well, as bad as their O-line is, I don't foresee the Raiders getting anything out of this.
  18. mul21
    Yeah, he's clearly done a terrible job of assembling the best team in the league. What a jerk.
  19. mul21
    I just looked at the box score and Burnett wouldn't have gotten out of the 6th under 100 pitches more than likely. Like you said, if they can continue to do that all year, they'll have more offense than last year just by getting into bullpens earlier in the game.
  20. mul21
    I seriously don't know if I could hate Sullivan more than I do. Really, sez instead of says? Those extra 2 characters would have killed him I guess.
  21. mul21
    Bro, manzier, or statue?
  22. mul21
    Yep, all three outs or the tying run at least in the on deck circle.
  23. mul21
    Soriano did not stink last year, so if he stinks now, it's not "still." When you look at his contract he did. He's a tremendous bust. Nope. Try again.
  24. mul21
    I just looked it up on youtube because I have a slight fascination with gruesome injuries. Holy god, that was jaw droppingly horrible.
  25. mul21
    You can't possibly say this with a straight face. Especially after seeing how completely awful the Bears are when Cutler isn't at QB. They may not be all time greats, but you can't afford to not have a QB who isn't at least pretty good. They're hard to find, and once you do have one, you can't afford to let them go. It may be overpaying, but that's a position you can't afford to go cheap and get a league average performance if you want to win big. Even when these guys are average during the year, most of them getting paid are guys who've won in the playoffs.
