Brand new trolls riffing on Christopher Columbus!

:rofl: We all need some damn baseball!

Not a troll, i'm not a history buff in the least but it has been pointed out when he "stumbled" upon America some indians were already here....

I would say like Halloween, St. Patrick's Day and Valentine's Day it's an overrated day.

That is silly, who lumps Columbus day in with Halloween and St Patties? Banks dont close on Valentines, St Patty, or Halloween. And all 3 of those are way more fun. Halloween=candy, St Pattys = beer and Irish whiskey, and Valentines= tail.

If someone is sorry enough to have a ticket and not stick this out, they don't deserve to wear orange and black.

Glad to hear I don't live up to your standards

I'm home now watching the game because my mother inlaw couldn't watch the kids any longer. She is caring for her sick father and has to monitor him through the night

I'm not happy I'm home but you shouldnt be so close minded.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Oh, I don't know. I thought when accusing someone of wild malpractice over possibly, maybe, slightly speeding up highlights that kind of opened the door to a little goofy exaggeration.

      The A's Series

      By interloper · Posted

      I was going to post something about this after reading about that on MLBTR this morning. That gives me a lot of hope for Bradish if this kid can come back from a UCL sprain and throw 103. Obviously, reliever vs. starter so who knows. But uplifting to read nonetheless.

      Hollocher hit almost exclusively 2nd in the order. The Cubs' 3rd hitters (and it was the Cubs, not the Indians as I previously stated) were mostly Marty Krug, Zeb Terry, and John Kelleher. Krug was awful for a 1922 3rd-place hitter, with an 83 OPS+ in his only season as a MLB regular, but he only struck out 43 times in 524 PAs. Terry was worse, OPS+ing 74, but with just 16 Ks in 571 PAs. And Kelleher was the worst of the bunch, OPS+ing 60, while striking out 14 times in 222 PAs. Cubs manager Reindeer Bill Killefer stuck hard and fast to the old rule of thumb that the catcher should bat 8th, even if it's Bob O'Farrell and he hit .324 with an .880 OPS. Ray Grimes had a 1.014 OPS and batted cleanup. But Hack Miller and his .899 OPS batted mostly 6th. Statz wasn't a terrible leadoff hitter, was one of only a couple players who had a SB% higher than 50%, but was 6th among their regulars in OBP. That's as bad a bunch of #3 hitters as I've seen in a while, yet the Cubs finished 80-74-2. Just goes to show you batting order doesn't really matter. Anyway, back to the main point... yes, I'm sure some of Hollocher's CS were busted hit-and-runs. But nobody that regularly batted behind him struck out in even 7% of PAs so they shoulda been putting the ball in play the vast majority of the time.

      4/25: Bowie Wins, Only Team Above .500

      By Frobby · Posted

      How many people actually said they were one of the greatest teams ever?   They did hit the snot out of the ball the first 9 games of the year, mostly in a 6 game series in a very hitter-friendly ball park against a bad pitching staff.  That said, they’re still second in the league in runs per game.  Their pitching has been problematic, yielding 6.50 runs per game.

      Gunnar’s base running is in the 99th percentile.  That mess is in the 98th percentile.

      Speculating on how the O's handle the pitching logjam

      By interloper · Posted

      Yeah, the highlighted section here is really why I agree that the O's will look to minimize losing players to waivers just yet. Things could blow up on them pretty quick. There's a ton of risk with these moves, but they have to find out. The best way to do that is to utilize the options for Akin and Tate, IMO. We'll see!
