Middle Buffalo

That would be disrespectful to the game and the opposition.

Keuchel pitching for the D’backs today. He’ll probably pitch into the 7th and give up 2 runs.

Why are we mad at the sun?

If this is the case, isn’t this (not airing the player out publicly) how people said TLR should have handled the Yermin situation last year?

Don’t worry. We know.

Good loss = virginity. Never forget.

Manny Machado injured his ankle today stepping on 1B. I guess just negotiating with the Sox is enough to lead to leg injuries running to 1B.

Kind of funny they’d be moving to California, Arizona and Texas which are full of murderous, thieving illegals from Mexico and Central/South America (if you believe the Republican propaganda). And if they don’t kill you, they take your job.

If they steal my car while I’m pumping gas, I’ll be doubly pissed that they took off with $100 of my gas.

How about Nick Madrigal with more power?

Jeff Bagwell is who I see when I look at him. He just seems like a professional hitter to me.

Plus you’ll get to follow all the MLB guys rehabbing leg injuries.

Trestman is a good, more recent option. Those early 70s Bears teams weren’t very talented.

He was even worse before the 3 batter rule for relievers. He used to switch pitchers from batter to batter.

It doesn’t help that our starters rarely pitch more than 5-6 innings. Seems like the relievers are responsible for at least 3 innings every game. Of course, TLR might want to consider occasionally having a reliever pitch more than one inning.

I heard he had his foot amputated in November 2002, but he was already slow so it didn’t affect his speed. It took him about half of 2003 to adjust in the box, though. When he hit the GS in 2005, he raised his fist to counterbalance the missing foot so he wouldn’t topple over while rounding the bases. The outfield statue is anatomically correct. Check it out. Also, check to see if Moncada has both feet. He may not.

If we’re casting votes, I agree - let Greg comment.

I’m a Rodon fan, but I looked it up a few days ago and he was 1-4 with a 5.00 ERA in his last 7 games. Innings pitched/start already trending down.

TLR really seems to make at least one mistake per game. It’s easy to second guess, but there have been so many times where a defensive replacement or pinch runner or pinch hitter is the obvious move, and he doesn’t do it. It’s sad that the game thread crew is actually smarter than our manager. Walking a guy who isn’t an absolute beast with a 1-2 count with two outs is indefensible. Even if it was Trout or Bonds batting, you’d at least have the pitcher try to get him to chase something. I don’t know. I guess Sox fans can’t have nice things.

And there’s no way Maddon looks as befuddled as TLR does in the dugout.

As much as I thought Maddon was a d-bag (baseball’s version of Pete Carroll), I would love to see him managing the Sox. Felt the same about Carroll for the Bears. They may be d-bags, but they be mine to root for.

I watched Norm McDonald’s last “stand up” special last night. It was not very good. I’m kind of sad someone didn’t just take some of the highlights from it and make a documentary about him. I only laughed a few times in the hour. If Norm did the same material in a comedy club, he could have made it work, but in a solo recording without an audience, most of it just came off flat. There was a 30 minute round table after the special where Letterman, Chappelle, Molly Shannon, Conan, Sandler, and Spade talked about the special and their history with Norm. That was pretty good.

Two 2B? That’s the kind of out of the box thinking TLR can get behind.

Sadly, our Sunday lineups are better than what TLR throws out there the rest of the week. Tomorrow should be an easy win.

I don’t think Hahn’s plan was to end up with TLR when he dumped Ricky.
