Redskins Rick

check this out, too funny

Nice post, and very well done.

If I remember right, one of the NFL super bowls a few years ago that Tampa played in under Gruden, they had sent in stripper buses to entertain the players in.

Hell no, look at the WAR he has produced for them. One of the few examples where big money worked and unlike Kershaw, Scherzer doesnt come unglued at playoff games.

Lets shut the barn doors, all the animals have already left. Should have done this in the first place.

I agree, some just wash out, because they suck when exposed to high quality batters.

Verlander was a huge risk for them. He wasnt pitching well, on a fat contract. They had an idea of what his problem was and felt they could fix him. Hindsight shows they were right, and it paid off well for them. I suspect there are many cases where this didnt happen like a team thought it would.

Nah, anybody worth while, they will just promote to their parent club.

I wasnt even good enough for my HS team, did pretty well in rec league, but oh well. lol

Personally, I didnt think too much of the 10 pitch rule. As a hitter, you are taught to keep working the pitcher and count, it tires out the pitcher and sometimes after 8-10 pitches, they make a mistake and leave one over the plate. Not every batter is able to work the count and do this, but why limited the good ones, because the bad ones, can't? Im sorry, if my smart arse response offended you.

A novel approach, but almost reminds me of girls rec league softball rules. lol

@Tony-OH and others in the organization had opinions on Yaz, long before Elias came on board. We got Weams saying the Orioles over evaluated him. We got other posters saying Buck and DD never gave him a shot. I dont think there is a person in OH that could have predicted Yaz's success with the Giants. I am totally happy for him, and I was strongly pulling for him here, and never thought he would be more than a bench player in the bigs, if at that.

Hard enough to get fans to attend 9 inning games, but 8 hours of 2 games. It does sound minor leagish, but Im ok with them trying something new.

Which is what I said the other day, out of abundance of caution, he is held out. Just like many of us, working daily has to assess our medical health each morning before going in.

or from unnamed sources, as those things are never keep quiet. Especially, since you keep playing through the first failed drug test.

I think some posters will complain about just about anything.

it could also be what some of us have to contend with. With the abundance of caution, if you have any symptoms, then you are urge to stay home. Just because you have a runny nose, mean you have covid.

Thats why he opted out, was his 3 kids at home, especially now, with the Marlins shutdown because of team positive, just shows how easy this thing spreads.

I know Nick is a gamer, but I never saw this one coming.

Not too much else they could actually do for him, this season for minor league growth.

Reminds me of my killer leisure suit that I thought was stunning. Now, looking back, wondering how did I ever get laid, wearing it LMBO

Article online says 18 and that was at 2:29 PM yesterday. Sadly like ALL COVID reporting numbers, there is inaccuracy rampant.
