QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) I didn't get to see his last at bat, can you share some extra details? Well, he's making contact first of all. He's hit the ball fairly hard a few times. Seems to have good plate coverage. Obviously is a talented defender and has some good speed on he bases. With him in left, we have one of the better defensive outfields in baseball.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) He's a guy I'd think you'd say "Go ahead and put the shift on" since he is fast enough to beat out an infield single. He pulls so many balls through that hole there....haha...that sounded sick

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:20 PM) Alejandro De Aza also does not suck. Makes you wonder who will be the first team to shift on Ale'

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) Good job by the bottom third. BTW, Jordan Danks does not suck. Yeah, I really like what I see from him...I'm sure adjustments will be made, but he is exceeding my expectations.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) Dunn should keep doing that until they move the shift over They won't though, because that is a legitimate base hit. It's not like he's hitting ground balls through that side.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 01:32 PM) Just because the Reds gave up a fortune for Latos doesn't mean the Padres will be happy to help us out. And "Our top prospect" doesn't mean that much in this system. And "Young starter who has done fairly well in limited major league innings" = "Guy who was picked up off the scrap heap last offseason". Left Handed Major League Reliever = guy with an ERA of 5, WHIP of 1.6, who already lost the closer's job. Guys who have use to us don't necessarily have a ton of value on the trade market sometimes, because the other team has to have a "Cooper who can fix them". The Padres can hold out for a team to overpay for Volquez. If the player was performing better than Volquez currently is, then you would start talking about Addison as the main piece. Yeah, you're on crack, Balta. He's not bringing a Jared Mitchell. This guy has no place in their future and while he does have some value, I think you're exaggerating the hell out of that value.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:34 PM) God...Santiago in to pitch. CODE RED

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Rios has been our best hitter for like the past week. 2 + weeks

Alex is really fun to watch when he actually plays up to his capabilities. The Toronto announcers last night were talking about how Rasmus makes it look so incredibly easy that sometimes it appears as though he isn't trying when things are going badly. Alex is the same way.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) I call 'em like I see them. We held Ozzie accountable for BS play like that, I hold our current coaching staff accountable. Alexei has his share of the blame as well, but I guarantee it doesn't happen if they'd run through that in the past week or so. Because with last year's team our technique would be bad. 5 throws or some s***. That is a lack of practice. These are mental errors.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) I am going to hold Robin accountable here. If that play is practiced the amount it should be, it is NEVER messed up in that way. Practice doesn't matter with space cadets. You think ODawg doesn't know not to count outs or Alexei doesn't know a guy is going to try and run home on that? some of these guys are just freaking stupid baseball players.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 07:41 PM) Someone tell Paulie to quit pouting and run to first base...that's so irritating Don't criticize the infallible PK!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 07:30 PM) Just a terrible, terrible pitch to Lowrie there. Not shocked he's lighting us up at all after this last offseason. ?

Watcha looking for, Adam?

Meltdown coming...

Backdoor style, eh Hawk

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 06:35 PM) Anybody know who's been catching Gavin during this funk? Flowers seems to call more breaking balls. Yeah, Jesus Christ

QUOTE (59th street @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 06:33 PM) Ignorant, immature comment. Guess you feel like a tough guy now; good for you. I'll bet you do too for "putting me in my place." The guy has all the talent in the world and is too much of a space cadet to utilize it.

I'm going to start writing letters to Kenny to trade him...

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 06:19 PM) He's a s***tier version of Jon Garland. I used to enjoy watching Jon...he had balls. Gavin is a collosal p****.

My patience has run out with Gavin. I can hardly watch the games he pitches in anymore. I absolutely despise him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) That was JoeCoolMan. Somebody said something about their girlfriend not knowing baseball and Joe just straight up said he didn't have one. Funny as hell. Yeah, and then I would have sworn you said "I know the feeling"

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) When did this happen? I think you got the wrong guy. I would've sworn you and JoeCoolMan were lamenting this one day in PHT...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:11 PM) There's always a way. On the Galaxy S I disassembled a few months ago, the antenna was on the side of the phone, with a connector on the bottom. But that connector was part of a larger multi-purpose chip that included sensors for the capacitive keys, the microphone, etc. If you don't have capacitive buttons ( or buttons period), that chip can be much smaller. I'm fairly positive they can move the antenna elsewhere and still get it to work. The antenna system of the HTC Sensation is etched on its back cover (although that had a death grip issue). Plus, didn't the iPhone 4 have an antenna system that was wrapped around the phone or something? That caused some issues during launch. Remember when you were talking about your non-existent girlfriend?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 11:24 AM) The note is silly, but an ipad isn't comparable to a 4.3 screen. For the love of Pete, SS.
