  1. Almora's the 3rd 1994 baby (position players) in the NWL this year, and the youngest.
  2. Except for the fact Boise is short-season A ball, Bruce.
  3. Yeah, it's not a surprise they drafted Zunino. They obviously think Montero has no chance of being a starting catcher.
  4. I think it's the right move. Get him healthy and hopefully he pitches really well for 4 months next season.
  5. Same lineup: DeJesus RF, Vitters 3B, Rizzo 1B, Soriano LF, Castro SS, Castillo C, Jackson CF, Barney 2B, Volstad P
  6. I don't know about 2013, but I've got the 2016 rotation all set. Felix Hernandez Jeff Samardzija Arodys Vizcaino Pierce Johnson Some guy :oldbluekoolaid:
  7. My god, AZL Cubs have 25 hits.
  8. third straight start, and yes. Astros.
  9. Hayden Simpson blowing it for the Hawks. Six straight hits!
  10. Mitch is great.
  11. Jose Arias with 3 Ks in a row in the 6th. Good 12-6 type curve.
  12. Trey Martin has made two wall-climbing catches tonight.
  13. Why is Russell pitching in this game after Sveum just said he's been overused?
  14. I'd bet he has 30 innings left tops. He's at 140 now.
  15. Soler with a two-strike single.
  16. I believe it's been said that after this season there wouldn't be any more limits on innings.
  17. No question. I haven't watched a lot of games this year but it seems to me that something happened this offseason to cause Bob to change his tune a bit when it came to this stuff. It still comes out from time to time, but he's been much different when discussing the things that pissed him the hell off the last two years. He went after Brandon Phillips repeatedly the past few games for not running hard all the time, even when he ran hard.
  18. No it isn't. The media chews stories up and spits them out on a regular basis. Somebody like Bruce Miles covers most things with a levelheaded "just the facts ma'am" approach that is underappreciated. The more obnoxious members of the media know there will always be another "fun thing to cover" so they don't have any problem ruining one storyline in the pursuit of exploiting it. Their purpose isn't necessarily to run the player out of town, although in some instances it's pretty clear that is part of the motive. Their purpose is to exploit a story and rile up the masses with hate, anger, accusations of laziness and other forms of tearing down the player. Somebody like Kaplan is a jock sniffer that will prop up his buddies while tearing down the guys he doesn't want to try and go on a double date with. I'd ask a favor of you and others. If you have time the next few days, list names of others besides Kaplan who you feel are racist, intentionally or not. I would like to observe them for an extended period of time to see if I sense what some of you do, I haven't been involved in this so far, but I'll give you Bob Brenly right off the bat. No question.
