  1. Sounds like one of those old Deep Thoughts With Jack Handy SNL bits.
  2. I finally saw the video of it. I had no idea he did this on two consecutive pitches. Blimey.
  3. Reminds me of a George Burns joke involving Milton Berle and Forrest Tucker in a country club locker room. "Miltie, just pull out enough to win."
  4. I'm wondering when Twins bench position players start warming up in bullpen.
  5. I think switch hitters will wear it like a beanie propellor.
  6. I didn't see it, only someone wrote me a text about it, but did he steal 2nd and 3rd also that inning leading up to the steal of home? That was my impression, but I've deleted the message.
  7. All of that offense with no outs was like finding a stack of quarters on the floor under the pinball machine.
  8. All I can think of is just his delivery may have some deception and it affects where the batters pick up the ball.
  9. Baker, The Last of the Full Grown Men, left standing at the altar in the bullpen as Felix takes care of bidness. TCB Good guys win!
  10. Never had an issue either. MLB-TV pixilates some but it’s probably because they think I’m in Berlin.
  11. Watching it on fairly lousy hotel Wi-Fi on my iPad. But no problems thus far. Urias, thank you!
  12. Indeed. Replay made it look closer. Glad it wasn’t challenged.
  13. I guess the ump expected him to run sideways while also going straight up the line. Ridiculous.
  14. He had slipped my mind as well. I had not been followinig Norfolk as much (other than a big lead they had built in their division). They are in my hometown of Durham this week to play the Bulls and I was looking at their roster yesterday to tell a friend whom to watch for. While going down the pitchers' list, there he was. Bring him up.
  15. Too bad the video for this does not exist for this anymore, but all I can think of is the Felix Pie Method of pitching management. https://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2014/4/28/5663606/felix-pie-korean-league-kbo-how-about-you-stop-being-horrible-at-your-job-k-thanks
  16. Been lurking today as I'm hanging out with the kids and the wife is at the pool. But yeah, gonna take more than what we have in the tank, probably. On a brighter note, let freedom ring, happy 4th as well!
  17. Mr. Splash will pitch to him. As for the Home Run Hose, just one swig per round.
  18. My guess is Jordy. Baseball players and managers seem destined to add y or ie to guys names. Brooksie Robby and so on. We could really use a Slappy though.
  19. We could use come good nicknames on this team. Buck, Bubba, Frosty, Sleepy, Slim, Bunk Tony Taters (per Ben) is nice step in that direction.
  20. Between all of the Ryans and Kyles, it's like herding cats trying to know to whom one is referring. I almost always use last names for those guys, so much that I have sort of forgotten who's a Ryan and who's a Kyle. Those names are almost interchangeable to my ears.
