  1. Per baseball official rule 6.08(b), a batter becomes a baserunner and is awarded first base when he or his equipment (except for his bat): is touched by a pitched ball outside of the strike zone, and he attempts to avoid it (or had no opportunity to avoid it), Yeah, problem is, it wasn't within the rules. The umpires don't enforce it, that doesn't make it ok.
  2. He made no attempt to get out of the way. Nothing, nada, none. You keep qualifying your statement with "at the end he did, a little....", and hence the disagreement. And since he did lean into the pitch it was worse than a guy putting down a bunt in that situation. Of course they won't call it but how many times have you seen a guy raise his arms and take the pitch? Like I said, pathetic.
  3. I disagree. Looked to me like he leaned in and dropped the elbow because he knew it was close. Pathetic.
  4. <p><p><p>Thx, Dip. That thread makes me both laugh and question the amount of collective knowledge on the board. I'm busy lately coaching and scouting through mid-July so when you see me after that it might be under a different screen name.</p></p></p>

  5. <p><p><p>I'm using the HHP on my r?sum? for writing when I submit my book to be published. You think that's a good idea???</p></p></p>

  6. <p><p><p>Maybe both, sir? Thx, sir, I enjoy the banter but I miss Word Association.</p></p></p>

  7. <p><p><p>Thx, Michael. I'll miss you guys this year with our move. I always enjoy writing about Chris. I think he turns it around, but it might come slower than some would like.</p></p></p>

  8. <p><p><p>Thx, brother. Every once in a while I'll cough up a pearl.</p></p></p>

  9. <p><p><p>Thanks for the rep, man. I appreciate that coming from you.</p></p></p>

  10. <p><p><p>Thx for the push, Patrick.</p></p></p>

  11. <p><p><p>Hey Robert, nice avatar of Mike Wright!</p></p></p>

  12. <p><p><p>It's a very nice stadium. If you're ever out this way look me up and we can take in a game and check out the Fun Zone in past the RCF area. Kidding, I clocked their SS and CF down the line from the RHB box at 4.19 and 4.21 respectively. Not bad....</p></p></p>

  13. <p><p><p>Thanks for the HHP, Michael.</p></p></p>

  14. <p><p><p>Thx murph. I meant those for the Round Rock thread but at the game Tapatalk works easier and that was the last thread entered.</p></p></p>

  15. <p><p><p>Nice SI cover, Patrick!</p></p></p>

  16. <p><p><p>Thx man. Where you been?</p></p></p>

  17. <p><p><p>I'm excited to go to Texas, Michael. Lower taxes and we'll be able to afford a house for our girls. It's beautiful in Austin, I think you'd like it. Besides, I'll be in the middle of the country and still be able to visit the relatives in CA and get to Baltimore much easier. Best of all possible worlds.</p></p></p>

  18. I hope he plays well enough to shut up the Braves fans who were complaining the day he was signed.
  19. Brewers farm director Reid Nichols said Delmonico was released because the organization had lost contact with him. "We couldn't contact him," said Nichols. "He wouldn't return calls. We couldn't find him. Sounds like a you problem Reid.
  20. <p><p><p>Where you at?</p></p></p>

  21. <p><p><p>You reignited my passion for Alison. I really like the song she did with Vince Gill whom you did introduce. I'd heard of him long ago but never really listened to him closely until I started listening to country again. Thanks for that.</p></p></p>

  22. <p><p><p>Thanks, I thought more people would respond to that thread. Glad you liked it.</p></p></p>

  23. <p><p><p>Ah, the board is such a wonderful place because of The Fat One's presence. Is it not? Thanks for the rep.</p></p></p>

  24. <p><p><p>Joe could be a steadying force down in the pen. I'm also a fan.</p></p></p>

  25. <p><p><p>No kidding. Ignore is a perfect feature for that fool.</p></p></p>
