Very cool!

Gramuel stop writing so many words in your posts. We don't cotton to book learnin like you Euros do. Also, LOL at having a "die hard" Cubs fan wife.



EC did you actually pay for those upgraded seats? That stadium seems kinnnnddddaa empty.

Gramuel, whatever you do, pay no attention to txdome's "advice". He's a massive troll.

Very polite of you defending your master country person, eh.

lol - got that a few pages back, whether it's deliberate or not.

Yeah apparently being married is funny or something.

Jesus, Gsellman's line is horrendous tonight. Is he gonna be good enough?

Sick

Those weren't upgraded seats. That's just where we were hanging out while our kids were on the dugout yelling "play ball" to start the game. But since you brought up upgrades......

We were just hanging out in the nosebleeds watching the game, and a Dbacks employee came over and said "since I can tell you 4 are big fans, how would you like to go sit down above the Dbacks on deck circle?" Uh, ok. So now we're sitting 3 rows behind Derrick Hall...though he hasn't come out yet. But that's his TV.

I have it on good authority from Trevor Bauer that Gsellman is going to have an arm explosion soon

The shift mainly changes the results of ground balls -- that is, it significantly reduces the chances that a ground ball to the pull side will get through the infield. The effect on line drives is less significant.

People tend to overestimate how easy it is to intentionally hit the ball on the ground to the opposite field. It's especially difficult for power hitters whose swings are geared towards hitting the ball in the air. In general, you are more likely to hit the ball in the air when you are late and more likely to hit it on the ground when you pull the ball. That's why hitting fly balls to the pull side is so valuable. It's hard to do.

In fact, it's debatable whether, from AB to AB, hitters are even capable of changing the likelihood that they will hit the ball in the air or on the ground.

that's super cool.

quite a day at the ballpark.

Nats 3-4-5 as good as it gets right now.

i wonder if bro could MAKE CHAD FUN AGAIN

That's awesome. Great day, and they're winning.

Turner might actually see another PA in the 9th. Drawing live at back-to-back cycles (triple away)

I guess their 2 is pretty good as well.

The Reds had 3 guys hit their 7th HR today.

****ing Romo

Alright, time to be done with Rodney please.

Rodney taking the piss out there.

Puke

Every time I see a batter turn away on a questionable strike call, I think, "NO ****ING WAY, GODDAMMIT!"

Well that was costly.

Bought tickets to Dodger Stadium today. I'm definitely not a seat hopper. I just buy premium tickets and go. I've been to Dodger Stadium when I was a kid - probably 20+ years ago - and I did a full tour in January of this year, but my wife has never been, so it's going to be our 2017 MLB park.

The Mariners loss yesterday was devastating for many reasons, but there's still reason not to panic because the AL looks pretty weak.

I still see the Indians, Astros, and the Red Sox as the only legitimately good teams. I'll give the Orioles a pass, but I don't believe in their starting pitching. And then you got a bunch of mediocre squads battling it out for that last Wild Card spot, all of them with plenty of question marks. Even the Blue Jays can't be thinking about throwing in the towel yet. If I had to pick a favorite right now, the Yankees are kind of a scary team.

He's back. MORSE.

its gonna be a long ****ing season if romo and baez is as good as it gets for us in the 7th n 8th.
