I rewatched, and yeah, he hesitated. On Peters' suicide squeeze, that pitcher had to pull up when the 2nd baseman was at first. He beat Peters to the bag. Taylor had to do that.

That play happened so fast, Taylor would have needed to break and start running as what looked like a single came off the bat. Taylor probably has another place to be on a single to RF. I get what you're saying, and he might have been a bit of a spectator, but that was a bang bang play. Merrill's pretty fast, too.

I think the Edgar Quero apology thread needs to queue behind the Tristan Peters thread, the Bryan Hudson thread, the Seranthony Dominguez thread and the Will Venable thread.

That's the 3rd shutout of an opponent.

A better spot for Sheets is on his ass in the dugout.

Maybe this is why Venable had been throwing Taylor as an opener.

Vargs!!!

I would think having a headful of dreads slapping you in the face every swing would be a bit distracting.

That was a nice play by Peters, cutting that ball off, and getting it in.

Cubs are in a larger market, aren't they?

I keep wondering why they need underage moderators.

Acuña definitely seems moved to the bench.

I don't like Southside Samurai because it's generic and lazy. Like calling Tanner McDougal the "Lakefront Leprechaun". Or calling Noah Schultz the "Out-gettin' Kraut". But that's the world we live in. SS Samurai is safe, kids could remember it, generic. I think some people react dramatically to one's ethnicity being put in the spotlight. One time at a work Xmas party, I was telling a couple younger kids about how my parents would always point out the Ukrainians among us. There was a resentment that went back to the war, and who sided with Russia and who sided with Germany. Those 20-somethings looked like they wanted to run away, they were so nervous about any ethnicity being discussed around them.

Pallette had 4 years to establish himself. f*** him. I agree that Getz got a little cocky with the Rule 5, and maybe a couple other roster spots. I think he's recovering okay, though.

I was going to post that, but they were in stasis, and I think Getz kind of "panicked", wanting to start out strong. I endorse.

Murakami?

San Diego fans so happy with a run scored. Just like Cub fans when the other team hits a foul ball.

All the White Sox are hitting. Fernando Jr. remembering his time in the Sox org to get three.

Hey, It's Bido pitching with a Lead-O

Use your Google Translate and tell them what you want. Maybe they don't put it in the case. You speak any Polish?

This Romo dude has a pretty good strike zone command.

Scoreboard watching on May 1. Can't beat it!!
