I was sitting on the third base side and this GIF doesn't capture the best part of Rowand's stance

He squats down, clenches his butt, and just starts wiggling it. His backside does not stop moving until the AB is over. I’m convinced he only bats like this because he determined it’s the best way to show off his butt (which, I must note, is exceptionally tight. I don’t typically notice stuff like that, but he thrusts it in your face if you’re on the third base side). Rowand’s is the most bizarre stance I have ever scene.

Playing Army

I spent the last two months in Fort Lewis, WA and Fort Carson, CO training and learning how to be an officer so that I don’t look like a completely moron when I commission next year. I was completely disconnected from the world in WA, and being on such an early schedule, it was tough to find time in CO. But now I’m back east and starting school again, so I have a lot more free time

Its a lot more comforting to me when Charlie gets out of jams

When Correia or Karstens or another pitcher does it, I don’t know, it strikes me as more luck when it does skill, but with Chuck, it just seems more like skill. He’s a bred ground ball pitcher, so I feel like he should be doing that.

The age old debate: Is Larry Walker a HOF (from the Root broadcast for those not watching)

A lot of people say yes, a good amount of people say no. He has top 20 all-time OPS and SLG, as well as fantastic career OBP. I know most people are quick to say he did a lot of work in Coors Field, but I guess that is just a variable that I don’t think should impact whether or not you let him in or not. Regardless, even if you look at his OPS+ to neutralize Coors Field, he still finished very high up there. He played superb defense, and honestly, the only true knock on him is that he never won a World Series, but I think that won’t matter.

My vote: He’s in

The bigger argument against him is longevity. He was hurt often, so he didn’t play as many games as most Hall of Fame right fielders. I’d still vote for him though because he was so good when he did play.

Just seems like it would of been.

That's how the rule is written but

Why does a closer get a save when it’s a 3 run lead to start the 9th? I never understood that

Just saying...

Via the dictionary for its definition of battle:

A lengthy and difficult conflict or struggle

I’m really not trying to argue hear and I know I’m getting into silly semantics, but were these last ten days a struggle? I would say they were. They weren’t a struggle like WWII, they were not a struggle like Vietnam, but by definition, they were certainly a struggle. Was it a lengthy struggle? I would say by baseball terms, it certainly was. Now, I’m not saying these guys are soldiers and I’m not saying they are battling like they are in the Middle East, but I have no qualms when someone says a team is battling, etc…

by Zach Buccos on Aug 9, 2011 1:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

probably because

the concept of a battle, what actually occurs in a battle, cant even register unless you actually been there,, done that. suffice to say my above comment stands and i will gladly take my leave of this particular thread because the game is in fact over

by Yung-Han on Aug 9, 2011 1:09 AM EDT up reply actions  

Give the Japanese some credit: guys like Colby Lewis and Ryan Vogelsong benefited from playing there.

And it looks like Bryan Bullington has so far as well.

As far as Vogelsong’s performance, I thought he strayed way too often into the strike zone, giving the Pirates a bunch of chances.

I think his 2011 is a good story thus far, but I’ll be curious to see where he is and what he is doing in baseball this time next year.

I think the focus on fundamentals in discipline in Japan

does a lot to help these guys that are struggling. Also, they’re able to get out of the limelight and screw their heads back on straight
