Is this the part where I make a "Your mom" reference? It's been a long time since age 12.

You comment wasn't a joke. My initial comment was a joke. This: Is not a joke. Maybe if you waited a second before trying to jump into my comment and came up with something like Something like that might have qualified as a joke.

Yes, he parted the Red sea before he died. Yes, he wasn't the oldest, I didn't claim he was. Even for you that's an odd attempt to discredit me.

He was 80!

So more than the rest of you?

came in at .3.

It wasn't bad. They even had some pictures, I know you like pictures.

You must have skipped the Brewers half of the coverage of the Burnes trade.

He did Shyster Ball back in the day, around the same time Fire Joe Morgan was a thing.

Me too. I don't want him extended.

Witt Jr had a 722 OPS his rookie season.

Machado put up a 739 OPS in 2012.

When is he ready? When he's the best option? That's competing.

I'm not expecting Bloomberg to spend a lot of time on the O's.

Do you think they are attempting to pitch to the hitters weaknesses this early in the spring or just working on refining their game?

While I 100% agree with your overall point and have stated the same I don't like the Bundy example because of his shoulder calcification issue. He's a unique case.

Whose #95? I have a heck of a time keeping track of the ST invite guys? He isn't hurt I hope.

Have they given up on Kjerstad in the outfield already?

Except we do have DH where he could play a majority of the time.

Of course it's not but neither is "use the whole field".

I'd put Mayo at third because Westburg can provide more value when not having a defined defensive position than the other two. If you don't put Mountcastle at first or DH why is he on the team?

Just one of those things were the "common sense" answer is wrong. The classic refrain is "use the whole field".

He said the other day that he mostly looks at RBI and Runs scored. He seems to be a throwback type. I'd also like to say that I am in favor of them having the #2 hitter bunt the leadoff guy over in front of Judge when he gets on base.

I'm sure teams have programs that track it.
