he really needs to get better at calling fly balls and home runs. Still, he hasn’t been a baseball broadcaster for very long so he should get some slack.

He should shave the handle of his bat down really thin

So each time he swings and makes contact it breaks…that is the only value he brings. The potential for taking out other players (ours included)

Jesus Christ is Felix dealing today. Best I’ve seen in him damn near forever. OH NOES THE CONSECUTIVE STRIKEOUT BINGE WAS BROKEN UP BY AN EASY GROUNDBALL!

I've never heard of a fast change.

I mean, a 90mph change is faster then Washburn’s fastball. There’s something cosmically wrong with a “fast change”.

Well yeah

I suppose relative to Moyer’s changeup, Felix’s changeup is a “fast changeup”... but

You’re just fucking with me, aren’t you?

No, Felix also has a change that clocks in around 85

that pitch is the mystery pitch that acts like a split or a slow 2-seamer or a fast change (for him).

What scares me

Is that Felix was on this caliber of roll a month or two ago, and it ended up being a 4-1 loss on a big 8th inning for the opposition.

Coach/Butthol '09: We shall overcome.

by qrsouther on Jun 17, 2008 8:23 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Well this is actually a decent point, but we already have more run support now than we did then

Plus, it’s a lot clearer how to deploy the bullpen. No Putz or Potatoes, and Morrow as your fireman in a pinch.

by esoteric on Jun 17, 2008 8:26 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It was all Felix ER

But he left before he could give up the runs themselves. I think Green blew it all, but got no ER due to the men he inherited on base.

Is that the one co-starring Jason Bateman?

Anything with him gets some credit from me. Guy turned me into a huge fan with Arrested Development.

I also STRONGLY recommend that any fans of Tobias (David Cross) go get their hands on the DVDs of Mr. Show. I prefer the (short) 2nd season the most, but a lot of people like the 3rd or the 4th even more. Either way, check it out, it’s the American Monty Python: hit and miss, but when it hits, look the fuck out.

By the way, can somebody explain to me why in God's name Ichiro is playing RF now?

I know Jeff’s commented a bit on this already but it’s infuriating. INFURIATING. Ichiro is immensely valuable (and worth his K) as a CF…and nowhere nearly as much as a RF. What in god’s name could have triggered this? Must be more to it than we know.
