Total agreement. His arm will probably continue to be a plus and another team may find that to their liking. Runners find out the hard way not to run on him, but otherwise, the writing is on the wall.
And @ArtVanDelay, I like Hays (I did that silly The Ballad of Austin Hays last year).
But he's just in the funk of all funks right now, and even with hard hit balls, no luck.
Yeah, it's not like it's a ton better visually. I watch on a pretty huge screen, too. Maybe it's better on smaller screens for the people replying otherwise on here.
Good point. I do know there's a call for cicadas to come out of the ground sometime later this year. I just hope the groundskeepers at OPACY will have a Terminix contract in hand for that eventuality.
I saw it last year. It was fun to watch on the iPhone while I had it on the TV. It's a pretty cool thing to have if you don't have access to the game. Fun to change angles.
Thank goodness that buildsubmarines overlay we keep seeing (mound tonight) is about The US Navy and not some private affair with experimental craft. That was my first impression.
Speaking of sinking subs, there goes Wells.
That's kind of like saying "didn't it take you forty years to make your first million?"
I was happy for him to get into the HOF. He was a feared hitter and I dreaded him coming to bat when I followed the O's on the radio in the 70s. He was in the top five in MVP voting six times, won it once. He was only 2nd in ROY because his teammate Fred Lynn had such a monster rookie year. He was in simple terms, a stud hitter. Averaged 30 HRs a year for his career and RBI over 100.
Yeah, I know what you mean. The O's were always my team, but the 70s Red Sox had some hosses and I did admire them. Him, Fred Lynn, Pudge, Yaz on and on. And that's only a few of 'em and none of the pitchers.
