Welcome to the game threads!

If they let him do it every game then it adds up too much. This early it was the correct call.

A ball that Robert should have caught and a lucky bounce of the first base bag.

Pulling Cease was the correct call.

Nope.

Katz said before the game 90-95 pitches if no stressful innings.

Nope. Too early in the year to push the pitch count too high with the shortened spring training.

Are you sure they've even had discussions for a new contract? I realize you hate anyone with money but you are making far too many biased assumptions.

Robert about to enter a slump. Swinging at breaking pitches out of the zone.

Cornelus! A former patient and went to my high school. Is Colas that big? Cliff was 6'3" and went 225 in high school and could play CF.

I hit one into the cornfield but it was April so there was no corn. Seemed less dramatic hitting into a mud field. And I had to go get it.

That's too bad. I understand why they are doing it but to watch an MLB game in the atmosphere and environment was truly a great experience. Not to mention my wife and I went there on our honeymoon and met people and actually took turns hitting on the diamond even before the MLB park was there. Now I can sound really old for another reason, "I remember when this was just a ball diamond in the middle of nowhere."

Correct. If it drops to a certain level I would agree. I've maintained for years the problem with the FO was the limited budget from JR. I can't say that right now.

I don't necessarily disagree but to me that's not being cheap as was the original point. These are different concepts of how to spend the money. But the amount of money is the amount of money.

Correct. But still spent the same amount of money. So should they have 2 super stars and the rest replacement level or do they spread it around and have a number of really good players but not the superstars? Either way it s the same amount of money. Like I said I guess my definition of cheap is different.

I guess I understand what you are saying but dont understand the concept. To me cheap means you aren't spending the money. 187 million is 187 million no matter if you have 10 really good players or 1 superstar and 9 ok players. So it's not a matter of being cheap as much as it is how to allocate the money.

Kid has cajones!

Checking the cajones on severino.

I'm trying to follow the logic of the last few posts. Apparently if you spend the same amount of money but do it on a few players your cheap because you haven't spent it on a single player. The amount of money doesn't make it cheap but how you spread it around does.

McGuire sucks, he can't throw anyone out.

So if I spend 1 million dollars on one house, I'm not cheap. But if I spend 1 million dollars on 4 houses, I am?

The pitcher struck out 128 and walked 28 last year. Probably a good idea to swing at nearly everything.

They are more fragile because there are more teams and many if these would never had made it due to the injuries on the minors. And the ones that did make it would have their careers ended. We have a much better handle on rehab and surgical procedures now.

He's not worng about the White Sox chance to win the division if Lambert is a regular starter. What he neglects to realize is their 1-2 starters aren't currently in the rotation.

Not surprised. That's smart and makes sense.
