If he hits a 2 out double does Mr Splash do a big celebration?

Whoohoo we get another Stowers at bat.

I've got to the part of the game where I'm looking for stuff on youtube. Figured I'd give Audiotree's channel a listen. Just started this but it's pleasant.

Deserved or not it is almost always on the player making the throw.

I mean there is probably an advantage to doing it but up 4-0 in the 8th I'm not going with a pinch hitter to lead off the inning.

If your actual strategy going into a game is to take strikes in an attempt to run up a pitcher's pitch count, I'm willing to bet you are going to lose that game.

I know right? How'd he ever get the two?

At least if the game isn't close Hyde won't be tempted to bring Adley in.

Why would having an elite eye have anything to do with making contact? You ever see Mark Reynolds or Adam Dunn play? Great eye, lots of swing and miss. Separate skills.

Cool. I had no idea Jim was involved in the game by game hitting strategy. Seems unlike Elias.

Who decided that?

If he's at the ballpark Hyde might just use him.

I think it will vary with the pitcher. If a guy can hit a spot that is a strike that Gunnar doesn't think he can drive he'll have a huge advantage with the automated strike zone. The strike zone is three dimensions and I think the big winner will be pitchers that can reliability nick it.

Buck might have tried it.

They picked Wieters and Arrieta.

I think Trumbo was signed to replace Davis.

You could say that. Mostly late 60's-early 80's is my sweet spot. I find most prog rock done after that to either be prog metal or not actually progressive.

I think they play Trumbo at First and nothing much changes aside from ownership benefiting from a lower payroll. Maybe the O's never give Mancini a fair shake?

I don't know a single Maiden fan that craps on Di'Anno or has a big issue with Killers. First two albums were solid. I do think they found a higher gear with Bruce.

That would be me and VDGG. Was why I mentioned them, those two have a specific reputation in the Prog community.

Nope. Can't do it. And I listen to Gentle Giant!

Operation Mind Crime is pretty interesting since it's a prog metal album that is more prog than metal. Not many bands were putting out stuff that proggy at that time.

Naw, picking one by their third singer is Blasphemous.

A lot of bands I can do without the vocals. VDGG comes to mind....
