  1. I was a big advocate last winter for signing Arrieta. Still feel he would have added greatly to us, both in his contributions on the mound and as a mentor to the younger arms. all this, of course, before his inevitable TJ surgery in August.
  2. Probably the best thing about this season for me is that my daughter has had a resurgence of interest in going to ball games again. We've been to four so far and have another one coming up in August against the A's. I also got a new hat.
  3. You don't want to know. hell, I don't want to know...
  4. You're more than welcome. Enjoy the game and let us know how it went.
  5. our coaches always focused more on fielding/defense. we took ground balls in the infield for what felt like hours after practice. worked a lot on "where will you throw the ball if it's hit to you?" stuff, too. we would occasionally do hitting things like you described. it was a cardinal sin to watch strike three, and that was always clear to us from day 1 to day 100.
  6. thanks for that. for whatever reason, i always thought it was connected to horses. can't give you any good reason why i thought that.
  7. K looking. day 2 in little league: if you have two strikes and it's close, swing the (*&%(% bat, jimmy.
  8. trout with his fourth walk of the game. two on, two out, upton at the plate.
  9. trout up with a chance to tie it up or extend the inning.
  10. @EnglishCop is the board grammarian. He keeps us in check when our grammar turns into something as beautiful as a Valbuena at bat.
  11. no way. give me arendado eight days a week.
  12. FYI, NFL training camps open this week.
  13. let me be the first to say that i don't care who's on the roster if it means we're winning a world series or two or three. if trading trout can guarantee a couple of WS championships, count me in.
  14. marte is easily replaced. he's just a guy filling the roster right now. same with valbuena.
  15. yes, yes we are. as long as that one piece is a cloning machine so we can have a few more Trouts on the team.
  16. marte! whew, dodged the valbuena bullet by bringing in someone almost as bad.
  17. seriously, you could probably choose someone from the stands at random to pitch and get the same results from valbuena.
  18. right now, i don't care about the righty-lefty thing. if ohtani is gonna play here, he needs to make himself hit against lefties. throw him out there and let/force him to work it out.
  19. those look like multiple oscar winners compared to the crapfest from rotolo chevrolet.
  20. right now, i think i'd bat ohtani behind trout, then upton and pujols.
  21. maybe i'm late to this, but he took a swipe at the bad umpiring around the third inning when he said "that pitch is in for a strike, ball one..."
