I had to work opening day and tuned in late last night and there was some guy listening to Welch drone on about situational hitting. Yeah. Interesting voice to listen to. Hope he has some incite as well. dfs

As a casual season-long exercise, everytime Cabrera has a chance at a play, lets try to estimate how Janish would have fared in the same situation. Cabrera was the big bat yesterday but i just dont believe he will contribute to more runs than he lets in, compared to Janish
From: john smith on 8 Apr 2010 16:01 Yes Tom, Jay Bruce has a mild bulge around the tummy. Cabrera's poor defense continues today. Twins knew what they were doing. Early impression of Drew Stubbs, slow bat so far. One, two is going to kill this team. Jay Bruce in an early funk, still very vulnerable to down and away pitch. There going to keep throwing it there until he becomes more disciplined at the plate. Gomes walk off gives Reds first win. Cordero does his job and the Cubs come to town tomorrow. Tom, why not consider MLB extra innings? The price is kind of steep at 180 for the season but you get 95 percent of the games plus all the other teams too. Hope Arroyo is alright after that shot he took. Those things swell up and hurt a whole lot more the next day.

He certainly didn't look good on the AB I watched on Monday when I think we had two on and a little mini rally going. He flailed at the down and away and hesitated on the down and in that he should have crushed before it. > >Gomes walk off gives Reds first win.

I tried to buy it when a flyer came with my bill several years ago. Lady said "of course" and and I waited for her to flip the switch. After a whole lotta nothin' we were both surprised to learn that all packages are not available everywhere. I had to wait a couple of years for HD to come to town. Worth the wait though. Probably be a decade before the 3D stuff hits the boonies. I can understand those things, because it requires different equipment and infrastructure upgrade. I don't understand the MLB package, or variable package offerings in different areas, though. Just flip the friggin' switch at the main server and send it down the wire. I think I'm going to try the "I'm gonna cancel unless you give me the same price I've been paying for XM ploy." It's worked for a while now, but if for some reason it doesn't, then I can deal. My oldest is starting teeball (gawd what did I do to deserve such a hideous invention), and with the livestock, I have plenty to keep me occupied when I'm not working. But when I'm lucky enough to work from home, those 12:35 starts like today sure are nice. Newest beehives arrive next week, and that takes some time. Been dealing with a fox taking my ducks. They don't call them sly for nothing. I also usually add a "species" or come up with some new experiment each spring. I think this year it's going to be Black Soldier Fly composting. I know this is a foreign and likely nauseating concept for most of y'all city folk, but FYA http://blacksoldierflyblog.com/ tom |
