  1. To be fair, if they lose 1-0 today it would be to Felix so it's somewhat understandable. That said they're still one swing away from tying the game.
  2. It's all part of our coddled participation ribbon generation I guess. I played with a couple guys I'd rather have had to hit/get hit by a little less though haha
  3. Safeco is a beautiful park. If you go, get the garlic fries. They're delicious. If you have the time and whatnot too I'd recommend checking out the area around the park and the restaurants/brew pubs. There's some good ones. BP is always fun if you can get there in time too. Last time I caught BP was a Jays/Mariners series in 2011 and Henderson Alvarez robbed a home run and then flipped my friend the ball. With their bullpens being in the outfield you can see the pitchers warm up too. It's fun to watch when it's a guy like Felix going.
  4. Haha that's really the only concern. If he puts up a zero this inning I'd say they're cruising. Martin with a solid piece the other way there even though it went for an out. I counted at least three opposite field hits that inning. Good start.
  5. There's more than enough talent to overcome the deficit despite how they've played lately. Maybe I'm blindly optimistic but when they're only down 2 with 18 outs to go I've still got lots of faith in them regardless of their recent performances. They way I look at it, they're due
  6. He probably started to clue in when the University of Kentucky bought him a new Toyota Tacoma haha
  7. I've met Paxton a couple times and he's a really genuinely nice guy. He asked me to stand in on his bullpen and ended up hitting me so he signed a baseball for me- best bruise I ever got. My dad's friend coached him as a youngster (like 9-13 years old) and said he was the hardest working kid out there. His growth spurt and talent came later, as a youngster he was just out for hours a day throwing to his dad and that's why he was so good. Easy to respect a guy like him even if he didn't sign with the Jays.
  8. Higher intensity leads to greater efficiency I guess? The same rules apply to BC high school football.
  9. It's just a safety measure, probably negotiated for by the NFLPA.
  10. Could make for decent press, though that's not really Belichick's MO.
  11. Two other observations: Donaldson definitely went around on that check swing, not sure what his beef really was. The ump maybe could've checked it but it seemed like a pretty clear swing. The next pitch he was rung up on was a little questionable though. Despite what Tabby said I don't think it was really a strike all night. I thought Taijuan Walker got shaved on some pretty close calls, with balls 1/2/3 on Bautista's first walk really coming to mind. Nelson Cruz getting pissed off about Estrada coming up and in on him. So what? His game revolves around being able to move the ball around, change speeds, etc so when you're leaning over the plate taking away that "soft and away" approach, what do you expect? He didn't throw at you, just near you. Grow up. Bob Gibson would've done a lot worse and he threw a lot harder than Estrada.
  12. You could be seeing a Gronk regardless... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/patriots-reportedly-work-out-rob-gronkowskis-younger-brother/ In a move that means very little for actual football but everything for entertainment, the Patriots appear to be interested in another member of the Gronk family. Could Rob Gronkowski's brother be joining him in New England? According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Patriots worked out Glenn Gronkowski on Monday.
  13. There's no arguing that. Upton, after showing a brief glimpse of his old self, has gone back to being about as useful as tits on a bull. I like the at-bats Bautista puts together for the most part- that's been something about his game we've known he can do for a long time- but before long we need him to really start hitting. Encarnacion also went the other way last night and he hit the ball hard. I think it was with two strikes, so I like that approach, but I can't remember for sure. Pillar really shortened up and went the other way with two strikes to cash Tulo after Upton came up and dropped a deuce with a runner on third and one out. Also, what happened to Zunino? I guess he's still young by baseball standards and can improve, but he was a really highly touted prospect for what he could do on both sides of the ball. Hasn't quite found that yet.
  14. What's the difference between an old greyhound station and a lobster with 36DD breasts? One is a crusty bus station and the other is a busty crustacean.
  15. Last I checked he'd been doing well in Seattle. That was a few weeks ago though.
  16. Also, just noticed JD is swinging an Old Hickory instead of a Marucci. Superstitious folks, those baseball players.
