I am not sure why Cole cares about a 3B/DH. Its a business not personal.

Falafel is in my top five street foods, and hummus is one of my staples. But now I'm going to be seeing IFK's mug when I get it. |

Good to see Noetsi is still relying on BAA and not OPS or OBP which is the most effective method in this century...lol

And now I see I transposed his initials. I shouldn't post during my second gin and tonic of the afternoon.

I did not see a .271 number for our new shortstop. I am delighted it is true. I think he will be the SS this year. I expect LMH to play first or third and Voit to play first when LMH is not. I don't assume the Yankees will ever make a trade for an elite player. Cashman simply is not willing to risk blue chip player, afraid he will get burnt. His excuse is always, they wanted too much which I am sure is true from his perspective. I think we will on occasion invest in a big name free agent, but only a pitcher and probably not while the Cole contract exists. It is why I was unthrilled by his signing. My little weedhopper, when will you learn to follow your master with the fullest of faith? … |

According to CBS Sports, both the Rays and Jays are aggressively pursuing Freeman, along with the Yankees and Dodgers. Seems Freeman has ties everywhere. His parents are from Ontario and he has dual citizenship.

I am not sure why Cole cares about a 3B/DH. Its a business not personal. They shower together… what if Donaldson has a shiv in the shower? What if Cole drops the soap? Have you ever been snapped with a wet towel? … |

If you like walks and strike outs than the new way is wonderful. I like baseball when they hit for average a billion times better. The modern game has become incredibly boring because of its narrow focus on those, which is why it is going to increasingly fade out of the spotlight with younger fans who like things to happen offensively. It is not a question of what works. It is a question of what you enjoy watching. To me the new focus has ruined the game. It was a lot more exciting in the past. |

Does not happen much (although arguments of the relative merits of Fixed Effects versus Multilevel Models can get brutal). They can buy Cole a new shower facility. |

It is not a question of what works. It is a question of what you enjoy watching. To me the new focus has ruined the game. It was a lot more exciting in the past. Let’s advocate for the return of the nine ball walk… I like to see patient hitters work the count. I also like to see aggressive first pitch hitters. I like to see balance in the line up, with some guys that work to gef on base and others that have a strong hit tool looking to find the right pitch to drive to move those other runners along. I like some aggressive base runners with the skill to steal a base. I even like to have a couple of more fellows that will drop a bunt, or push the ball the opposite way. But when you come right down to it, there’s nothing like a good old home run. Watching one. Hitting one. Seeing one. Being one. In sports, there’s little to compare that feeling to. A big strike while bowling comes close. Sinking a big putt in golf. Catching a long TD pass. I don’t think throwing a long TD pass compares, because it several seconds before you know if you succeeded. The catch becomes the most important part. Those come close. For the less physically gifted, maybe a really slick checkmate move. A seven letter hook on word that touches two triple word scores and yields a couple hundred points. (My highest I can recall was 251 to date. Very demoralizing to an opponent). The home run reigns supreme though. I’ve done most of the things on both lists. I say most because the touchdown passes I threw were just playing in the yard with kids, etc.. I made a couple receptions playing with the guys in school in practices. They’re okay-ish. The gel of crushing a baseball that you know is going to go a long way is magnificent. When it exceeds the barrier on the field and you can glide around the bases without concern it’s like you’re taking a cruise of honor. Leading the parade. Look at me on these bases. Not a thing you can do except to watch me cap this feat off… |
