The rest are resistance training and Yoga - which is also a strength building practice, as well as helping with balance and overall fitness. Here are my before and afters, and tell me it doesn't help you build muscle. Secondly, it burns more than a damn twinkie. If it didn't when you tried it, you weren't doing it right. I burn anywhere from 300 (yoga) to 1000 (plyo) calories every workout. What you said is asinine. Great work Reddy!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 14, 2012 -> 08:14 AM) Guys, it's not happening. Two straight 0-fors following this post, OPS at a solid .600 even. Yeah, he's night and day different than he was a month ago...he hit the ball hard a couple times yesterday right to Francouer. I agree he's not quite the hitter he once was, but he's significantly better than he was a month ago...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 14, 2012 -> 01:20 AM) Who cares at this point, honestly? To be fair, all greg said was that Ozzie currently has the Marlins rolling. And he's right. They're 10-2 this month. Of course, when they go on a losing streak, greg will blame it all on the players. Those bums that don't earn their paychecks like Ozzie does!

Seems pretty lame to me that the captain would need an assistant

QUOTE (Brian @ May 11, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) Skip Dark Shadows. I maybe done with Burton. Awful Oh no...I had such high hopes... I finally got around to watching Warrior...WOW...amazing movie (I know, a BIT unrealistic), but I think that just landed a place in my top 5 all-time movies...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2012 -> 02:01 PM) AJ make sense for them? Potentially...I'm sure they'd like to see what Flores can do.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 13, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) If the Sox lose this one Thornton will get the majority of the blame, but the Sox were shutout by a guy with a 9.00 ERA last night, and scored 1 run against a fill in today. That's brutal. Sure is...I don't know what their problem is at home...it's disgusting

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) Who would pay $12 million (and has the room on their payroll) for a mid 30's relief pitcher who's clearly a one trick pony? At best, you can just dump most of his salary, but getting anything decent back in terms of a prospect? Forget it. The king of overreaction.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) +1 The problem is not the stuff as much as the fact that he just seems to swing at everything with the same exact swing. There doesn't seem to be any recognition for pitch location.

Viciedo seems to have no real clue as to which pitches he can actually hit hard...that's probably the thing that most makes me think he will never pan out.

I seem to think McEwing made a mistake sending Fukudome against Ichiro...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) After that inning I have no problem with him starting the 7th, that was dominant. I really hope to see Nate start to get a more important role...obviously not today since he went 2.1 yesterday, but he's really been outstanding. Crain should be back tomorrow too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:48 PM) Frenchy made to look even worse. That is not uncommon...

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:47 PM) aight i'll read it later after work. There is a podcast linked there as well...it's all very controversial.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:42 PM) gimme a link I did...

Damn you Frenchy

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:36 PM) Flowers did a great job of selling the foul tip catch there! I thought it just bounced...I was hoping he would tag him.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) of course not. but there's a very high correlation. i know that doesn't guarantee causation, but nonetheless it happens quite a bit. Chris Sale has an inverted W. His elbow is already flaring up a bit... we really think he's NOT going to hurt his elbow at some point? There are people that know a lot more about pitching mechanics than you or I who disagree with your theory.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:27 PM) Strasburg, Marcum, Zimmermann, Pineda, Prior, Smoltz, Wainwright, CJ Wilson That enough? Driveline mechanics There is a lot of controversy regarding the inverted W theory...there is certainly not enough evidence to be able to state that everyone who has the motion will blow out their arm...

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:23 PM) he has an inverted W motion. it almost always happens. No, this is what you read in a fan graphs article.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:22 PM) hmph, i'm noticing pink arm bands, but did MLB stop doing the "We'll auction off game used pink bats" for mothers day this year? I'm not seeing anyone using a pink bat and flipping channels to check. Dunn, Rios to name a few...and Gordon on their team...

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:21 PM) nope... i honestly dont You first state how you know nothing about medical issues as they relate to baseball; you then tell us that Chris will blow his arm out.

Here we go on Frenchy...

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:18 PM) i never once said i understand the medical aspects of baseball. not once. i've always maintained that Sale as a starter is more valuable than Sale as a reliever, injury potential or not. and a team should always err on the side that will potentially give them the most value. Sale could have and probably would blow out his arm whether he's a starter OR a reliever, so why not have him START until that happens, and have him start once he's back. This has been my position all along. Do you see how contradictory this paragraph is?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:16 PM) I don't know every kind of soreness, but man, there's a huge difference between "overworked" and "something actually wrong" in me. When you have soreness, initially, it can feel very, very similarly... Remember, a lot of times these guys are pushing through pain, because he doctor tells them they can't really make things any worse.
