Reds batters need to swing at the first fastball they see
because they can’t hit the changeup.

STUBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
what a play by stubs
So I was fed up with tHom and switched over to the Brewers broadcast
Their guys are actually pleasant to listen to. Nice and laid back. Plus, they’ve managed to show pretty much every hot chick sitting in the stands. I thought the cubs broadcasts were bad for that.
I wonder whether Taveras or Stubbs would win in a foot race.
Stubbs is obviously much more valuable and better at baseball, but I’m wondering about pure speed.

The Virus isn't fast, is he?
He can’t get to first base, so it was always hard for me to tell.

Which direction are they running, and if A is equal to B, at 50 mph, can it reach the bridge in less than an hour?

Hanley
is sucking big-time this season. His batting average is lower than both Janish’s and Renteria’s. Probably because he’s injured. His back is so painful he’s been standing up throughout team flights, except when FAA rules require that he be seated.

This makes me angry
Because the correct solution isn’t to move Bruce back down, it’s to move Votto up to the 2-hole. But we all know there zero chance of that happening.
For all the disappointment, this team is still above .500
I would have taken a .500 season a few years ago.
How a single season spoils me.

Watching how lame we’ve been and realizing that we’re generally only a few games behind the pace of last year, still … how good is this team?

I expected some of the hitters to return to earth, some of the hitters (Stubbs, Bruce) to break out, and the pitchers to be a bit better.

He really has a Koufaxian peak argument
Virtually all of his value comes from six seasons in a seven-year stretch. About 40 WAR (by bb-ref) in those years, with the rest of his career at essentially replacement level. The good years are outstanding, but it’s not like he was even the best player at his position for many of those years. So for me his case is a little short.
I tend to agree with you. Somehow I think he will be overlooked a generation or two from now due to
Rodriguez and Jeter (two better players).

Entire NYY infield is leading the AS balloting.
The baby under the basket is a very powerful talisman, only to be used in times of great distress.
Jeter, the Captain!

i dont have a lot of problem with tex, cano, or arod
but there are at least 5 SS’s outperforming jeter in the AL right now
All four of them are acceptable on their own.
It’s just sad that the fans don’t have any more of an idea on the players than this.

are nothing if not optimistic!

What's with the design? Is it "diamond" backs?

beats me
I would guess they just wanted something graphically appealing. Diamonds (as in baseball diamonds) are less boring than squares.

The staggering is interesting
You’d think they would try to arrange the infield and outfield as they line up

Arizona, take off your rainbow shades
Upton breaks his bat in half, the ball goes 119 feet, just fair, out of glove reach,scores winning run in 9th … when you’re hot, you’re hot.

just got back from the game
Votto’s home run was amazing to see live. People were going nuts and chanting “Joey” a while after he’d already left the field. It felt great. Unfortunately, though, I now have “paint it black” stuck in my head
Fortunately, you have the Stones stuck in your head

yeah it was really cool
I’ve never really seen a home run crushed like that (in person). The fact that Jay and Joey did all teh damage kind of made me giddy too. Just like we always planned!
Is that the new RR theme song?
Walkin around to Joey’s walkup?

it's not so much that I dislike the sound
I think musically Piant it Black is much better than alot of the walk up music, I just dislike the song. It creeps me out a bit to be honest.
I was at the game too
And have Jay Bruce’s song stuck in my head.

I hope it goes 19 innings. Nomar's head will explode and the Cardinals will see how fun it is.

No, I got more of a kick out of Bruce's tonight.
Votto’s was awesome too but I am so happy about Jay’s current tear that I get really excited whenever he gets a hit.

Well, I'm heading to bed- gotta get to work in the morning. The bugs won't feed themselves
Well, they would, but we have them trapped in plastic cages so that we can study and record statistics on them, so when they’re in those, they won’t feed themselves- well, technically they will, but I have to at least provide the food. Lazy Podisus.

thats probably a lot different than one you only need to read for and comment on
most of the papers I’m writing now aren’t research papers
I don't need a good grade and since half the class is behind the guy trimmed some requirements
so it’s possible, but I wasted most of today.
