Re: 5/24 GT vs Nationals

Actually that's what you do, that's the significant two strike approach, choke up on the bat and stand closer to the plate. I'm wondering who does that, Brett Boone did i believe. So I'm looking at choking the bat. Barry Bonds choked up on the bat, i mean all the time. This is getting of topic but ...

Re: Saturday in DC Gamethread. 5-25

I sat next to Jay Buhner once in a place that sold truck caps. I could barely look the guy in the eye he scared me so much. In fact, I sat next to him for about 10 minutes and couldn’t make eye contact - I thought he was a biker. When I got up to talk to the guy at the desk, he was like “um, you kno...

Re: 5/24 GT vs Nationals

Is it just possible that his success at the Home Run derbies had an impact on his hitting approach during games? Home run derbies affecting batting is an urban legend In general that is true but i'm suggesting the possibility that in Julio's case it may not be. Hasn't it been observed that he seems...

Re: Former Mariners tracker

] Julio is untouchable. Pointless to suggest otherwise. Which is why I led with “I’m spitballing” and then added 2 more caveats that it won’t happen. My post was more around speculating what the Mariners could get in return for him, and how much this would change the team and its current run for co...

Re: Former Mariners tracker

Selling low now and the fanbase would burn T Mobile now. Trade after he gets hot and hits 10 fingers in a month and fanbase would cut Stanton and Jerry's Ball off and burn them in Pioneer Square. Well, yes. But, this also happened: young, face of the franchise Juan Soto gets traded to the San Diego...

Re: Former Mariners tracker

When do we get to call Juilo a bust? Sadly, maybe joyfully cause fuck this ownership group, I'm looking forward to calling Julio a bust. So sick of all the failures of this org. I'm sure Julio is an outstanding young man, but yea, fuck this organization. If - and I am totally spitballing here - if ...

Re: Sometimes You Have To Lose To Win

Wow, damn Straight! Hitting .419!!!! 14-23 his last 5 games... https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/arraelu01.shtml It cost the Friars a reliever, and their #6,9 and 13 prospects. It's probably the equivalent of a Voth or a Saucedo, and then Farmelo, Arroyo and Aidan Smith. This would hardl...
