Colton seems to be taking to the leadoff position.   I like it.

Really like him there too. And it gives Gunnar a chance to do more driving in.

What 3B have gone 30/30? David Wright is the only one I can think of.

Howard Johnson did it twice.   EDIT:  Three times

Jose Ramirez did it several years ago and has a shot this year (29/20 right now).

So that's probably why they were talking aboutit.

I'll have to rewind.  To check.  I would be surprised if HoJo had 3 30/30 seasons

He did.

Ah Ok. Howard Johnson is the one I would have missed. I knew Ramirez and Wright.

This ump.  Every damn game they are doing this to us. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

That’s not a strike. 

[O's84]

Tommy Harper, 1970 for Milwaukee.  But he only played 129 out of 154 games at 3B.

If a guy is struggling to throw strikes, you shouldn’t be bailing him out 2-0.

Every ump has a tendency to expand the strike zone during 2-0 and 3-0 counts.

Just like it gets smaller during an 0-2 count.

That was ball 3 OHearn. Gotta let that go when pitcher is having trouble
