  1. I went to a AAA game yesterday (Columbus Clippers vs. Louisville Bats) and it always surprises me how steep a drop off of quality it is down just one level from the majors. It was ugly baseball at best, with maybe 3 or 4 players (combined) who looked major league worthy/ready. The Clippers won 9-8 despite committing 4 errors. The pitcher the Bats trotted out topped out at 88mph, had a 1.50 WHIP, and only 4.5 K/9. The Clippers brought in a reliever (making his AAA debut) who threw 97mph, but had no idea where it was going. He left with a 54.00 ERA. But hey, I saw the Louisville debut of Tim Federowicz, so that was a thing
  2. Basically
  3. That wouldn't work, because I would murder him before he boarded the plane from Columbus
  4. Who wants some Johnny Football highlights?
  5. Keeping Rizzo at second is dumb. No one signaled timeout
  6. Rizzo leading off is no longer cute. Please construct a lineup that resembles something other than a drunken fever dream
  7. Joe managed to make bullpenning this game NOT be our best chance I mean you’re just so wrong here I don’t know where to even begin Nevermind. I was trying to make light of the fact that Joe effed up what should have been the right strategy, but it came out wrong. Carry on
  8. Care to rethink this strategy? What?? Joe managed to make bullpenning this game NOT be our best chance
  9. It doesn't help that the first two strikes to Montomery weren't strikes
  10. There is zero reason to be shut out by this made up pitcher guy
  11. [tweet] [/tweet]
  12. Are there enough olde-thyme writers/voters who will hate his "antics" enough to punish him and vote for someone more vanilla?
  13. he can’t help but laugh whenever he think of the troops that died for our sins And taking your hat off for the anthem is for the poors
  14. Urban’s presser at Big Ten media week is going to screw him.
  15. Remember when people here wanted Alex Cobb? http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31086/alex-cobb Are those bad stats?
  16. If a mid-major school or bottom feeder power five program saw a tattoo-for-memorabilia scandal, a sexual abuse scandal and a cover up for domestic violence scandal all happen within a six or seven year span, the NCAA would slap them with a “lack of institutional control” punishment. But OSU is a huge moneymaker for the NCAA, so don’t count on it
