    The thing that's weird to me is that somebody built like Alcantara has pop and somebody built like Szczur doesn't. Baseball is weird.

    I forgot Josh Freeman for a while, and I had to use elimination to get Schaub. Otherwise, pretty cake.

    It's amazing that Peyton Manning is still remotely effective, nevermind elite, with that piece of silly string attached to his right shoulder.

    Sunday night is the featured game now like Mondays used to be. That changed when NBC took over Sundays and ESPN got Mondays. I think they made that move because Monday ratings had dropped off regardless of the quality of the game that was on. I know that. But MNF wasn't this bad. And SNF wasn't this bad pre-06 when it was the secondary prime time game (at least, not as far as I remember). I'm just saying that there have to be at least 2-3 somewhat compelling matchups every week, at least to the point that the 2013 Dolphins should never see a national broadcast. I'm confused as to why the Dolphins are your go-to example here, of all teams.

    Word on the street is he has a penis.

    People talking about bullpen options, you don't think Rivero could work his way into that mix?

    Game Rewind is pretty much the best thing ever.

    I got into baseball because my cousin started collecting baseball cards and I heard they were worth money, so I wanted some too. After a while I started stopping at baseball games while channel surfing and realizing I recognized names, and it all kept going from there. I'm pretty much a Cub fan because one of those channels was WGN. I have a much easier time enjoying baseball, even with its absurd quantity of down time, than soccer. There's at least a clear THING HAPPENING or POTENTIAL THING HAPPENING every couple of minutes or so, whereas in soccer, I don't understand the intricacies enough to be interested until a goal is at least close to scoring.

    Rosscup and Vogelbach are the patron saints of walks and Ks.

    Alcantara's season OPS up to .811 again as of his last AB.
  11. Warpticon
    Vogelbach singled last inning. If he fails to walk in his next plate appearance, this game will actually drop his walk rate for the level.
  12. Warpticon
    Coming into tonight...a night in which he currently has a walk in 3 PAs...Vogelbach was sporting a walk rate of 24.2 at Daytona.

    My scrotum feels pretty safe right now.

    Thank you. Wait, are you going to act that this was the stance you were taking all along? The best I'll say about college sports is that it has potential to be fun without all the NCAA and schools [expletive] it all up. Am I missing something here?
  15. Warpticon
    It's not nobody that matters is doing well. Alcantara and Villanueva are having good games.

    "Why are people who are better at their jobs more likely to perform better?" This is what you just asked.
  17. Warpticon
    Yeah, we may not have any superstuds, but we have a ton of live arms that stand a decent chance of contributing to a major league staff.

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9593233/nfl-quarterback-rankings-john-clayton-reveals-2013-hierarchy-signal-callers-part-3 My favorite quote from that article overall (admittedly I only read it because it referred to my team): "Teams need a 50-catch tight end to make the playoffs." Really? Since when?
  19. Warpticon
    I may not be a math genius, but that sounds like more than twice a month

    He only recently started actually getting into games and was just OK, still clearly slowed by the injury. If he was on the opening day roster the Dolphins would owe a backup G who wasn't at full speed an extra $1.5 million. Not a surprising move, and it wouldn't surprise me if they resigned him to a cheaper deal if nobody snatches him up, either.
  21. Warpticon
    Alcantara, last 10 days: .290/.421/.645, 5 2B, 2 HR, 7 BB, 8 K, 3 SB, 2 CS Also, Vogelbach is now at 11 BB/10 K at Daytona in 51 PAs.
  22. Warpticon
    Sounds like we're talking about something entirely not related to football here
  23. Warpticon
    I will never understand their penchant for posting ages to two decimal places. That's so stupid.
  24. Warpticon
    Daytona played 3 innings and got suspended. :lol:
  25. Warpticon
    Another Vogelwalk makes it 9BB/9K.
