  1. That would never happen if my dad was still doing camera for games! I mean, he's been retired for like 20 years, and hasn't done a baseball game since the late 80s, BUT STILL!
  2. Tapia and Espinal both made decent contact there, just hung up a bit too long on both.
  3. As if the idiots in the stands are booing like that was REMOTELY intentional. f***. I thought the ear flap cracked when I first saw it.
  4. They need to stop shifting on f***ing EVERYONE. Stupid nonsense.
  5. Congratulations, you've managed to make the board a slightly worse place!
  6. They're going to demolish Pivetta's arm.
  7. (Also, I searched with safe search off and "gif moneyball incredibly hard" returned a great deal of porn. Thankfully none of it was Jonah Hill...)
  8. It's not that hard to play first base... http://mlb.mlb.com/images/4/9/6/61691496/Moneyball_0i273w63.gif
  9. Yeah, it was very common for future starters to come up as relievers in the 80s and 90s, but it has very much not been the case for the past few decades. Starters in the minors come up as starters, and starters who suck are converted to relievers and stay that way. Might be a return to the old system, or possibly some sort of hybrid.
  10. The difference in defence between Bo and Espinal is not nearly enough to justify moving Bo. Not even close. Also, w/r/t last night's game... I spaced totally and missed it, but like... Kinda glad I did? Box score looks super frustrating, 1 run on 8 hits v/ 2 runs on 3 hits? Maddening.
  11. Oh yeah, I remember that. I didn't until you reminded me though. And like, only vaguely remember that. Would NEVER have gotten the date right though
  12. I expected that he'd have been recalled when Saucedo went down, but they went in another direction...
  13. His first game back was October 1st. Rosters expanded to 28 on September 1st. You do not recall correctly.
  14. There are no reasons. That's just not obvious to you. If they wanted Cavan Biggio in AAA, Cavan Biggio would be in AAA. Rehab stints are often used to help someone recover their form after an injury has robbed them of a decent amount of time for the same reason that people are sent to extended spring training if they miss time during spring training. "Recovered from injury" doesn't just mean "doctor has cleared them to play", it means they are ready to go in MLB games. He played a total of 22 AAA games during his rehab stints, and he was not hitting well when they promoted him, so why would they have promoted him if they were going to "wait until they start hitting" [citation needed on that quote, btw.]
  15. For the record (and not specifically directed at you, just something that just occurred to me to check), Cavan Biggio has 3 options remaining. There would be absolutely no reason to put him in the IL for a "phantom injury" if it's just a performance issue. He can be optioned to AAA with no consequences at any time.
  16. Depending on HOW the implement the shift bans, I'm not on board for that one (yet), but the rest are definitely big improvements. Roboumps being the thing that would improve baseball the most.
  17. If they bring this to the MLB, they need to actually enforce it. Last time they tried pace of play things, the VETRIN guys were just ignoring the "don't step out of the batter's box" rule w/ zero consequences.
  18. Yeah, sucks, but something with which I have to deal... A couple of my doctors are trying to get me into some long-term study things that will hopefully show some benefit. I'm absolutely not as bad as many, I'm still able to work with only minimal issues. It's also really re-aligned my priorities in a positive way, IMO.
