Methinks there's a hidden message here.

weams is saying it's time to convert Chris Davis.

Zach Davies with a clean inning and a poised interview.  MIL v KC MLB Network.

I think the favorite word now that Buck uses is "presentation".  In the last two MASN articles, he must have used this word a dozen times and in reference to almost every pitcher. 

Maybe it is a a new shorthand word for the old phrase "the ball looked good coming out of his hand".  Can someone give me a definition of "presentation" as Buck is using it?

Hiding the ball? Arm angle?

You got me.  I have no clue.

 

“Have you all been watching Aquino?" Showalter asked. “He’s got a little different look to him this year. It’s a confident (demeanor) ... You see him walk off the mound. He’s got a good presentation. I didn’t see that last year. He’s interesting.

 

That usage sounds almost like a baseball Gestalt.  A baseball Je ne sais quoi.   A "total package" kind of term.

Buck likes the cut of his jib.

I've always interpreted Buck's use of "presentation" to mean that the pitcher looks poised and confident on the mound.

To be fair, it is a pretty good cut.

Hey Weams: Question/Random Thought for you.

 

Is there a summary of each ST game that the OH does? I have been swamped with work and haven't had a chance to jump on Twitter as much as I usually do. I know you guys are always swamped (and some of you, working on your tans-ha ha) but thought I would throw out the idea. Just like a quick and dirty of who looked good, who looked bad, that kinda thing.

If you already have something like this (game threads are a lot to read), I do apologize.

Just a random thought I had. Thanks for all your do Sir.

Quote

“Waino got me a rental car,” Sherriff explained. “I freaked out a little bit. I started crying. I called my mom, and she started crying. Really, I’ve never had that experience. No one has ever done something so nice for me before.”

Wainwright considered it a chance to pass on past gestures. When he was a young player, Wainwright came into the clubhouse with the same collared shirts several days in row. Mark Mulder, a teammate at the time, left a box of brand new shirts for him at his locker.
