There was a wild pitch and a passed ball last time Clement started when Dickey pitched.

Clement got a start vs. Johan Santana. I’m not too concerned.

Man, I'm really glad you're here

I’ve been wanting to flag comments all day

by seattlebruin on Jun 24, 2008 3:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Flagged for excessive use of flagging

Flagging is inherently bad for LL.
a. Flagging acts as an exclusionary barrier against speech. Having to carefully consider whether one’s words will be accepted by such a narrow framework as a prerequisite to posting is not healthy to the LL community.
b. Second, flagging imposes an artificial norm upon posters. The threat of being flagged forces posters to mimic the posting style of those that are in no danger of being flagged, purely on the risk that others might either consciously or unconsciously accept it as normal or even mandatory. This strips posters of their right to make their own stylistic choices.
c. Third, long subthreads about flagging ought to have been a dead meme a long time ago.

Felix Hernandez is just... too... sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

by Katal LM on Jun 24, 2008 4:03 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Or not. I don't really think we need evidence that something's been flagged.

Ideally they would help us mods so we wouldn’t have to keep up on every single comment made.

My three favorite Logan entries would be:

1) The one where accused Bavasi of mentally abusing Jose Lopez and other Latin Players
2) The one where he alleges that the Mariners will be moving away from Seattle
3) The one where he invents P.H.A. (Power hitting average) which, coincidentally, was the same as ISO.
3b). The one where Mr. X was the guest author.

He claimed that

Bavasi was causing losing, losing was causing lower gate totals, lower gate totals would lead to relocation. Therefore Bavasi must be fired or the Mariners will leave town.

I think it's a wash

but if the pitchers prefer throwing to Jeff, then Jeff should be the starting catcher.

I think they should trade off C and DH.

Save their legs and have them retain value longer.

I wouldn't have too much of a problem with this.

But keep in mind, if you do this, you have to keep Jamie Burke on the roster.

Or pick up someone who can hit off the bench and can catch in a pinch

You really don’t need to carry a third dedicated catcher in that situation.

Beltran was talking about where the pitch was

The Met’s manager came out, then the umpire bumped him and rung him. Then Beltran got in the umpire’s face about it and got rung too.

Lets see

- Ump makes questionable call.
- Beltran calls him out a little bit.
- Manuel talks to the Ump
- Ump bumps into Manual then rings him up like a pussy.
- Beltran gets pissed and he gets thrown out.
