Here’s hoping that’s in Montero’s future.
I suspect a large percentage of substandard seasons for any player with a history of being good is connected with an injury, maybe even a very minor one, that the public doesn’t know about and maybe even the team doesn’t know about.
Dude Ashby is fucking Vin Scully compared with those clowns. At least he knows something about the game.
I did notice the other day that he spent a great deal of time talking about stupid shit that was either related to the game but supremely unimportant or about stupid shit that was merely somehow related to the game.
Admittedly, I usually have 2 or 3 games on with a podcast or music for sound. What I really miss is that MLB.TV use to have game sound as an option
Hopefully the Padres can keep their collective shit together for one more day
Field sounds is massively missed in this household.
And I thought my ADHD was bad
Eschenfelder is much better at college basketball PbP and studio work. He doesn’t have time to think.
You should see me on college football Saturdays
This Angels catcher (Thiess?) is driving me crazy. He flashes a target, and then as the pitcher starts his windup, he drops his mitt all the way to the dirt, and then slides his mitt to wherever the pitch winds up. No target other than the brief flash at the very beginning.
The two of them together was infuriating.
On a pitch just a second ago, the pitcher was halfway through his windup before he even put his glove on
Yep, Thiass is pretty awful at receiving a pitch.
Gotta love some ranger smack coming from a Whitesox fan:
Jay Cuda on twitter: most world series championships by pro teams called the rangers
Could have added the Scottish soccer team as well, right?
English team Queens Park Rangers too
I have a friend at work from Scotland. I asked him who his team was, he said “Rangers”. I asked why, he “hmmm…I don’t know…they just are.” I asked if he was from Glasgow, he said no, he was from Falkirk. Do they not have a team? “Yeah, they do, but we’re Rangers fans. And I wasn’t allowed to wear green. Ever. I would have been disowned.”
He’s also the one who explained “fighting season” in Scotland. He recalled how his father once smacked some poor guy off a barstool for no apparent reason, and when he asked why, his father replied “because we’re Scottish”.
All I know about Scottish football I learned via this movie:
So the girl I’m dating is taking her Texas teacher’s certification test, and it’s at a community college in Richmond/Rosenberg. She asks me to drive her so she’s not stressed (she damn near refused to drive on the freeways in Houston). So I drop her off there, and now have about 6 hours to kill…the only thing I know of in that area is Larry’s TexMex “Home of the chili cheese enchilada”, so that’s where I start. Waitress says there’s a movie theater down yonder, since I said I’m just killing time. That was the next movie starting so after a few games of Galaga, I buy a ticket, and I’m the ONLY person who bought a ticket that day, as I had the entire theater to myself.
Of all the places to see tiny-limited-release movie about Scottish soccer, Rosenberg, TX would have been near the bottom of my list.
Severino needs 38 pitches to get out of the 1st inning against Baltimore, giving up 7 runs. It made me all warm and fuzzy.
