Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

[InsideTheParker]

Seems like a lot of work. Like rummaging through the garbage to eat poop.

You are deeply disturbed. Try to keep that a secret, why don't you?

Yeah, everyone knows you just go for the litter box if you’ve got a craving.

 

[YTF]

I know nothing. Obviously. But I’m quite sure at one point if you PH for DH, you lost it

From the rules, these are the in game reasons disqualifying the use of the DH.

If a player serving as the DH is later used on defense, he continues to bat in his same lineup spot. But for the rest of the game, his team cannot use a DH to bat in place of the pitcher. A team is also barred from using a DH for the rest of the game if the pitcher moves from the mound to another defensive position, a player pinch-hits for any other player and then becomes the pitcher, or the current pitcher pinch-hits or pinch-runs for the DH.

That was too much? I tend to get carried away sometimes when people talk blueberries.

You've never met DDB?

That's so confusing to me on a Sunday morning.

4 runs in 5 innings from a lineup with 5 guys OPS'ing under .510 is some kind of miracle

If they win a virgin will be sacrificed somewhere

I want one as a pet so badly. Look at that little face.

I would eat. Racoons do not taste like chicken, though, contrary to popular understanding.

 

[YTF]

Obviously he's bummed, but I thought Casas seemed more matter of fact than down.

 

[Van Everyman]

That was fuckin’ weird.

Best muffins ever.

You can’t discourage me.

I've eaten and will concur.

 

[Van Everyman]

That was fuckin’ weird.

And even weirder.

From the picture they look more like frisbees than muffins.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Took the extra base like a pro.

Abreu picked a marvelous time to stop sucking.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Glad you posted this, that was my impression too. My prediction is a strained intercostal, anticipated out for 4-6 weeks, will actually be 8 weeks.

 

[mauidano]

Abreau delivers. Dude has been hot.

 

[Rovin Romine]

A hot Abreu would be a godsend right now.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yeah, that's weird, but that's not what they look like when I make them.

 

[mauidano]

Let's go Bobby D!!!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Abreu picked a marvelous time to stop sucking.

I think his hit tool is legit and it was just a matter of time. Fortunately, the time is now.

 

[budcrew08]

On GameDay: how did Ref score from 1st on a single to right?

nvm: stole second.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

He stole second in advance

Then God is having to make up for the injuries to Story and so many others. Why'd he send us those?

Those were so good I didn't even hate going to Jordan Marsh as a kid.

 

[mauidano]

Good eye Bobby. A walk is as good as a hit for you.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Here comes the action pitch to Dalbec...

...and he's on!

I do hate marvel so you got me there.

 

[YTF]

Atta boy Bobby!!!

 

[simplicio]

bOBPy Dalbec!

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

A walk is as good as a HR, right Bobby?

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Folks, I figured out Bobby's slump...

It's my fault. I used to sing "Bobby you are the greatest evah!" and other such encouraging stuff a couple years ago when he came to the plate and typically he would do something better than striking out. I stopped doing that when the season ended. I remembered that just now and started signing just before Bobby made contact and lined to third. I feel really shitty for letting the Sox, Bobby, and you all down.

Rest assured, next at bat, i'll be singing Bobby's praises.

Holy shit, it worked!! Bobby D walked!!!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I have to do an errand. You lunatics are on your own.

Vive le strawberries!

 

[brandonchristensen]

Whoops

 

[simplicio]

Ref with the gun!

 

[Sprowl]

What is this outbreak of defense?

 

[Rovin Romine]

"Rob Refsnyder has only one skill, which is to hit left handed pitching, sort of. What role can he possibly play on the team, I ask you?"

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Nice to watch other teams run the bases like idiots.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Our outfield is just mowing Muthas down!!!

 

[teddywingman]

Nice D!

 

[Rovin Romine]

Children mock male pattern baldness and, in consequence, get eaten by bears. It's ineffable.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Holy shit, it worked!! Bobby D walked!!!

Let's take it up a notch. Can you try adding some instrumental accompaniment? Castanets or something?

 

[simplicio]

This split squad team of ours has no quit and I love them for it.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Bad ump.
