  1. I think he will start the 6th. Doubt he finishes.
  2. Gordon is kinda spastic right now.
  3. Yeah, let me hit you with this slider. Hopefully Faltine was just trying to convey to the LA Tech pitcher that plunking 3 dudes in two innings is pretty bush.
  4. Never heard of intentionally plunking a dude with an off-speed pitch.
  5. What about the Yadro figurine? The laminate countertops were fucking terrible.
  6. I imagine that you have to initially approach him like Lieutenant Dunbar approached Two Socks. Maybe get near him and then let him know you have a 12 pack of Natty. Place it on the ground and walk slowly backwards. Gain his trust.
  7. Has anyone interacted with DDA? He seems feral.
  8. Ivan missing those hanging curveballs. Fuck
  9. I mean, money can absolutely buy-off a DWI. Does dipshit OP live under a fucking rock? OP is probably a stupid poor.
  10. Nixon has cost this team more games than any other pitcher. I agree that bringing him into unfamiliar situations isn't ideal. However, he has been bad even when he was called on to close a game. I get that his ERA may be low, but when I enter a game and then give up a base clearing double, those runs aren't charged to me. But it was my poor pitching that led to those runs. He is a complete shell of himself from last year and it is obvious to everyone. If it were up to me he would not appear in a game where there were more than 3 outs left. He is a head case and needs to be shelved or he is hurt and needs to be shelved.
  11. I would argue that this years bullpen is as physically talented as last years. It is something else. Harrison is going to be an animal. Stehle(sp) is just inexperienced and hasn't developed the mental reserve needed to compete at this level. There is no explanation for a dude throwing almost all strikes for 2 innings to throwing 0 strikes the next. Same for Stewart and Blair. They just need innings. I know I shit on Blair earlier in the season but he looked good yesterday when there was no pressure. So did Stewart. I liked Cobb a lot better before we decided to change his slot. Those curveballs look impressive and frisbee like on TV but they are flat as shit and easy to pick up for the hitter. Nixon's implosion is confounding. I think he may have real arm issues. He hasn't had a "live" arm any outing this year that I recall. He located well last year with FB up to 95. He is still hitting mid 90s but he cant locate it at all. I mean, when he does throw a mid-nineties strike, which is rare, its a cock-shot. In my opinion, rather than "pitching" he is throwing every pitch as hard as he is capable because his arm is fucked. Nixon hasn't "pitched" an inning this year. He is just throwing the baseball toward the plate. He misses a lot and gets his shit packed a lot.
  12. Yeah, I didn't understand that either.
  13. I don't know about the arms but I can tell you that everyone on the team can tell you the benefits of a double wide v a single wide and how to clandestinely steal utilities from their neighbors.
  14. He changed arm angle and lost about 5mph on his fastball. Really hard to get downward break on a sidearm curveball and it just scoots across the center of the plate belt high when you miss. It tends up in the bleachers.
  15. I am not a fan of calling letter high sliders and FB strikes. That last call was way high even if we did benefit from it. Not a strike.
  16. All we gonna hear from the dudes calling the game is arm tilt, slot and angle. Maybe they throw in "big league body" and "has all the tools" too.
  17. Thats because she didn't really take a taser. Will someone please post a link to the treasure trove where she was auctioning off her discharge-soiled undies and begging to choke on Lance Armstrong's cock?
