Oh yeah, I am sure it was his fault. Um, what are you talking about? lol -
wow, theriot sure did look short standing next to the ump. the ump was still taller when he was crouched down. :shock:
-
haha, Z gets POed and Ks the last two batters. nice.
-
argh!
-
hahahaha, thanks for stopping at 3rd. he must have gone to the Cubs baserunning clinic.
-
Ramirez is 3 for 3 today. Finding those holes in the infield D. 8)
-
Bynum didn't look so good that time.
-
Theriot, you're not helping yourself get more PT. Z still gets out of it. :D
-
OMG, what an inning for Z. hahahahaha
-
But he's versatile and fast, so that makes up for it. :lol:
-
See what happens when your hitters are patient, Dusty? Amazing.
-
1-2-3 first inning for this year's NL Cy Young winner.
-
Bautista is Z's first victim of the day.
-
Nice play, Z!
-
hmmm, don't know about that strike 3 call, but at least Barrett didn't argue. No need to make life difficult for Z.
-
Theriot at SS. Finally.
-
What makes you think one offseason is going to bring us from the cellar to "over the top?" It's a little unrealistic to expect Hendry to pull off a miracle.

We need that veteran bench for the playoffs.

You are the one that wanted to take the scenario out of the business side of things (and in the business of baseball, punches to a fellow players face don't equal throwing a bat at an umpire). You can't try and remove them in once aspect but then qualify that with the society/business in the other aspect. Assaulting a fellow player is part of the game. It happens all the time. Assaulting an official is not. If we start assaulting officials all the time, would it then become part of the game and thereby acceptable?

Barrett gets 10 days for punching another man in the face. Outside of a baseball park, that's assault. Young didn't go at the ump with that intensity. Instead he threw a bat. Big whoop. The only problem is he assaulted an authority figure instead of a peer. I guess that's worse...but only b/c the authority figures have the power to punish you. Wanna guess what Barrett's suspension would be if the Sox clubhouse got to pick the punishment? * Personally, I love that Barrett clocked AJ. The difference is, if you pretend both of them happening out of the park, if you want to make the comparison of Barrett's incident with assault, Delmon Young's equivalent transgression would be assaulting a police officer. I think that's a fairly significant difference. A police officer is given power and protection by society. An ump is given power and protection by a business. Big difference indeed. Barrett assaulted a businessman and so did Young. It just so happens that Young's businessman knew the powers that be and Barrett's didn't.

Will be interesting to see how he basically handles the jump from UNC to the big leagues, even if he's hidden a bit in the pen. I think it's a stupid addition to the contract. Doesn't it start his arbi clock? Maybe that's why the player/agent wanted that clause included.

Phillies after Pierre?
RichHillIsABeast replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Pry him away? With what? Hendry will want near ML ready talent in return. Nothing worthwhile is going to pass through waivers. Why not trade him for propsects, and then re-sign Pierre in the offseason? I'm not a fan of Pierre, and I'd rather he go away altogether, but even if you want to re-sign him, this seems like a reasonable option. Then you can give Pie a tryout with the big club for September. What are the rules with waivers and PTBNL? Can the PTBNL be a top prospect or is there some rules about being on/off the 40 man? I can't imagine that a decent prospect will pass through waivers. -

Bruce's take on Dusty era: It’s been a hoot
RichHillIsABeast replied to goonys evil twin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hendry's idea of having an opposing viewpoint is a scout who likes a different type of player.
