You'd rather have a button down suit?This hippy dude Legero with the long hair is the ceo of T mobile?? I'll be avoiding that company.
Oh God yes. Lackey is gonna scream at Maddon if he gets a quick hook.Get someone up Joe.
Unlike Baez, he's getting something done this series. Somebody has to be the semi-competent hot dog.Maybe Contreras should try to frame the ball like a real catcher and not a cocky dickbag
Umps watch the base and listen for the ball's snap into the glove, so it needs to be put away in the pocket. And umps don't reward, they rule.No way, the ball wasn't just in the glove, it was put away in the pocket before the runner touched the bag. Plus the umps typically reward good execution by the fielders on those DPs and give them the benefit of any doubt.
That's fine if you're happy with it. But he "frames" the ball like an idiot. Umpires have to get tired of that shit. Framing is supposed to be subtle.Unlike Baez, he's getting something done this series. Somebody has to be the semi-competent hot dog.
I alway thought Michael Winslow would make a great first basemanUmps watch the base and listen for the ball's snap into the glove, so it needs to be put away in the pocket. And umps don't reward, they rule.
That's not the way it works any more. Ball in glove is all.Umps watch the base and listen for the ball's snap into the glove, so it needs to be put away in the pocket. And umps don't reward, they rule.
Until he gets pinch-hit for hereLackey should appreciate that play
Russell is really slickThat was an impressive double play -- not especially elegant, but very quick in footwork and execution.
Seriously? Like, "cross the plane of the edges of the glove?" I had no idea.That's not the way it works any more. Ball in glove is all.
Bob Boone?That's fine if you're happy with it. But he "frames" the ball like an idiot. Umpires have to get tired of that shit. Framing is supposed to be subtle.
All of his teammates and ex same I've heard speak about him say he's a great teammate. "That's just his way".Lackey should appreciate that play
You need to get hip to the lingoI'm sure that means something
Kurt BevacquaI'm sure that means something
Guess they like his bat after allUntil he gets pinch-hit for here
It would be just like Maddon to take him out after one batter next inningMaddon must think Lackey has more left than he's shown
I remember him very smoothly catching pitches in the 80s, always ending with his glove in the strike zone, like he had to move his glove to the strike zone because the pitch was even more of a strike than he expected it to be.I'm sure that means something
And that's my point. Contreras is way too exaggerated, and there is no way that umpires like that.I remember him very smoothly catching pitches in the 80s, always ending with his glove in the strike zone, like he had to move his glove to the strike zone because the pitch was even more of a strike than he expected it to be.
Bob Boone: that's Aaron's father, and Ray's son, right?I remember him very smoothly catching pitches in the 80s, always ending with his glove in the strike zone, like he had to move his glove to the strike zone because the pitch was even more of a strike than he expected it to be.
No one remembers Bret?Bob Boone: that's Aaron's father, and Ray's son, right?
I got your point. I was just thinking of one of the smoothest guys I'd seen.And that's my point. Contreras is way too exaggerated, and there is no way that umpires like that.
Bret's dad.Bob Boone: that's Aaron's father, and Ray's son, right?
