Coby is having learning pains, folks...he'll get there, remember Holliday.

Perhaps.  Still a fairly poor system and the human/error element to it should be removed. 

Not going to argue that.

I also want to see someone like Rich Hill throw big curve after big curve that are unhittable called strikes.  I think that would be hilarious.

Did Mayo struggle with off speed in the minors?

[Yossarian]

Mayo learning the lesson Holliday did - big league pitchers are good.

The pop out is becoming Ced's signature at bat.

Left handed Urias.

Mayo in the Colton, Holliday adjustment mode of “oh I have never played baseball …ever” . 

[Spakman]

I remember Holiday absolutely getting pitched to when he first got called up. Mayo is getting balls to hit and he’s not hitting them.

Was it the gangs, the wildfires, or the earthquakes you liked most?

I was a member of the biggest gang around at the time.

I liked the weather.

I put forth effort at work regardless of conditions.

Anyone that has been in the workforce for any period of time has had a crap boss.

Looks like we've got good ol' Stakhanov over here...

You can leave a job you are unhappy with. Harder to do under a baseball contract. Also, if your coworkers performing poorly impacted your performance, would you feel the same?

If it's a strike and unhittable, then so be it,  credit to the pitcher for throwing it.   I'm not looking for either side,  pitching or hitting, to get an advantage, I just want both to be fairly credited with what they did,  be it the batters having a great eye or the pitchers throwing a great pitch.

[Sanfran327]

Nice to have one go our way, though that was arguably a strike anyway.

I enjoyed the time I lived in California.

Oh its great other than the taxes, the govt, and some of the social issues that get pushed.  But when you have so many activities within a short drive?  And when it is basically sunny 340 days a year?  You learn to live with it.  Even where I live here north of Los Angeles, it has been 95 to 105 for the past month straight but it gets down into the 50s to low 60s at night.  No humidity.  You really can't beat it.

Feels like Kwan hits every inning.
