    Doesn't he reportedly have quick feet for a big guy? Move him to catcher! I'm mostly kidding.

    I'm pretty sure I saw that last scene at a strip club once! :hello:

    Probably several reasons. Schumaker is a left handed hitter, is a slightly above average CF, has better speed than Murton, has also shown the ability to not be awful at 2B, and is employed by an organization that has shown to be much smarter than the previous Cubs regime could ever have hoped to be. And Schumaker "hits .300" to appease the masses.

    Yeah, but they had/have nowhere near the capability to spend the cash that the Cubs do and turn things around pretty quickly.

    allowed? Allowed, good enough, whatever.

    Baez isn't sticking at SS. Should we move him too? Baez will eventually become too big for SS, Geiger is physically not able to field third base like a professional should(.884 fielding percentage, stiff movements, lack of range). There's a difference. We wouldn't put Vogelbach at 2B for a season just to prove that he can't handle it, similarly there's nothing wrong with being honest about Geiger not being able to handle an infield position that isn't 1B. While there's little doubt he will eventually be moved, he's barely played 100 professional games, and he's only played 28 this year. I think it would be worthwhile to let him try 3B for at least a full season, if nothing more than to be able to get into a normal routine and not have to learn new positions in the middle of the year. He's not going to stick, so I don't see any reason to keep him there unless they need somebody to play the spot at whatever level he happens to be at. Unless Baez does get a lot bigger, I don't see any reason he can't stick at SS. He appears to have very good instincts, soft hands, and a rocket arm. I'm basing this on seeing him just one time, but he made several plays that would lead me to believe he can handle the position long term.

    Definitely not based on what I saw last night. Two of the really good plays Baez made were because Geiger misplayed or didn't get to balls.

    He's throwing strikes. I only remember one 3 ball count so far and only a couple hard hit balls. Got two dribblers back to the mound in the 6th that he handled easily. He's got some filling out to do too. Just has that look of a guy who will add some muscle as he matures. Any velo readings? Nope, the gun was off. He appeared to be throwing pretty hard. Suarez looked like he threw the hardest of the 3 Chiefs pitchers, Peralta next and then Wang. Wang had some nasty, really late break on whatever he was throwing. Hard to tell if it was a slider or a splitter from where I was sitting. Suarez looked really good tonight.

    Baez with 2 more nice plays at short. One in the hole on a ball Geiger should have gotten to and didn't and the other on a sharply hit ball back up the middle. Chen with 2 solidly hit balls so far. One right at the 2B and the other for a single between short and third.

    Ok, I'm in love with Baez. Geiger just got crossed up by a runner going in front of him and booted a ball. Baez backed him up, grabbed it in shallow left and gunned the guy at home very easily. Guy has a cannon. He flied out to right on the first pith of his second AB.
  12. mul21
    Devoss with 2 walks in 2 PA. Balaguert looked awful swinging at one up in his eyes and one that bounced a foot in front of the plate for strikes 2 and 3. Baez made a nice play in the first on a high hopper that took a funny bounce. Waited on it and then showed off the arm. Geiger just drilled one into the gap that the RF made a solid play on. Nothing impressive from Easterling yet, well other than the physique of course. ;-)

    Baez just hit a towering shot to straight away left. I got it on video on my phone and will try to post later tonight.

    I'm going to be in Peoria this week. Should I go to the Wednesday or Thursday game?

    Is Soto officially becoming a platoon player?

    I was at the Twins/Royals game on Sunday and he hit two out. The fans love him because they can yell "PLOOOOOOOOOUUUUUFFE" when he does something good. Pretty good place to see a game too. Sat in the 300 level about even with 3rd base and had a really good view and was in the shade the whole game. Got seat for $20 that had a face of $25, so I was happy with that too.

    What was the actual start time? This thing is flying by.
  18. mul21
    What's his story anyway?
  19. mul21
    That's definitely not true. From the OP: There's no way they they have access to all of CSN, Fox Wisconsin, Minnesota, KC, and St. Louis in Iowa where you can't watch those on MLB.TV. Certain areas of the state probably have access to some of those channels, but it would take actual to figure out who does and doesn't that MLB just takes the easy way out and blacks out everybody.

    So the same kinda thing Manny got busted for the first time, right? Close, that was Clomid, a drug used to help women get pregnant . Tamoxifen actually also binds to estrogen receptors like Clomid. Actually Tamoxifen's used for certain types of breast cancer. That's why it sounded familiar to me.

    Train wreck effect and all I suppose.

    Can I get a link to show me when Ramirez hit .100 for 2 straight months? Oh, and also a link to show me where he ignored his hitting coach during the linked streak from my first question.

    This is why I love this site. Well said. Yeah, it would have taken me an hour of internet surfing to get that through my thick skull without that concise summary. Thanks!

    I think the discussion Len and Bob had about it last night was about right. Let the ump know you'd like him to use a different glove and don't make a big deal of it unless he refuses to change it. End of story. No ratting anybody out, no disadvantage to the Nationals.
