    The value of a veteran catcher is showing the last couple weeks. Yes I said it. Flame away. contreras has played like half of these games in the outfield and montero does that type of crap all the time plus monetero can't throw the ball all the way to second base.

    lol thanks frazier

    beat me to my edit that and that terrible (and dumb) bunt seriously, that was so completely terrible from every aspect

    Someone has to go when Soler comes back too. yeah, i didn't even think of that. i'm guessing since they will somewhat coincide with the trading deadline that that may come into factor as well.

    kyle, do you just troll sometimes to get a rise out of people? because then you turn around and post things like this. sometimes i go back and forth if you are closer to an idiot or someone that is brilliant. if you played me earlier then well done.

    is coghlan still on the roster? I would much prefer he be DFA than risk matt szczur on waivers when dex is back next week

    i think it was actually a smart play by baez, screwed up by zobrist
  16. weis21
    exactly
  17. weis21
    yeah. it was baez's initial horsefeathers up, but zobrist should have had the wherewithal to know that the double play at first was doubtful and to just focus on bell.
  18. weis21
    horsefeathers

    kyle said arreita needs to be "insanely athletic" to "command his stuff". it is dumb to insinuate this. of course i believe he benefits from being in great shape. he was last year and he is still in amazing shape this year (which leads me to ask why it was even brought up?). never in the history of baseball has there ever been a pitcher - especially a year after winning the Cy Young - given an accusation that maybe they need to be insanely athletic in order to command their pitches. and again, he appears to be in the same shape of last year. it was a weird and random accusation to his struggles that i called him on and there is LITERALLY no explanation to contradict that. your ranty crusade against his assertion is way more weird and random seeming the use of LITERALLY was supposed to be a joke from early game thread posts. i'm really not mad. just trying to argue my side.

    Last year, every scouting or pitching coach story about Arrieta's explosion into awesomeness came because he got himself into awesome shape, which let made it easier for him to control his explosive arm motion, which is where the awesome stuff comes from. Acting aghast at this is just making you look dumb. i certainly don't recall that storyline. yes, the story has always been about how great of shape he keeps himself in, but he always had. the breakout happened when he went back to his old delivery in 2014, that the orioles had tried to discourage. kyle said arreita needs to be "insanely athletic" to "command his stuff". it is dumb to insinuate this. of course i believe he benefits from being in great shape. he was last year and he is still in amazing shape this year (which leads me to ask why it was even brought up?). never in the history of baseball has there ever been a pitcher - especially a year after winning the Cy Young - given an accusation that maybe they need to be insanely athletic in order to command their pitches. and again, he appears to be in the same shape of last year. it was a weird and random accusation to his struggles that i called him on and there is LITERALLY no explanation to contradict that.

    so for some reason arrieta relies on his crossfit membership to be an effective pitcher while no other pitcher needs that? just trying to follow You see a lot of other pitchers throwing 95 mph slider? plz show correlation to insane athleticism. and no horsefeathers colon and arrietta are different pitchers. you are indicating - based on your words - that he needs to be extremely athletic (by the way, is he not?) to "command" his stuff. it's unfounded, irrational, and dumb. just quit now. you are a smart (though often annoying) guy that made a stupid post with a dumb insinuation. just chalk it up as a loss and carry on.

    By that logic, can Montero play LF too? i'm still hung up on the usage of... gon'
  25. weis21
    Another person that has no idea what "literally" means. to be fair, i expect lackey to run to 3rd base after hitting a grounder to 2nd to start the top of the next inning.
