Wow!!!

I don’t know how to react to that

Exam Monday, I should be studying.

Instead I am reading while I listen to radio and look at Gameday. This is a good idea!

Mariners Mention!

Indirectly

There was a shout-out for Ichiro there by one of the announcers.

And now…Adrian Beltre!

"Beltre, a guy that loves to play the game"

Good thing he plays it for a living, then.

What a fortunate coincidence!

Most of those guys out there hate it!

That’s why you see everyone grimacing in the dugout, with their arms folded, looking like cops. Baseball is not fun, but it’s a living.

Who's the color guy on ESPN radio?

I was listening while driving home, and he said something like, “What’s up with Beltre’s fielding? He seems to field well, but every time he gets ready to throw it’s like he freezes. Is something wrong?” Wow. Has he been on Mars?

It's not common.

Fill in the blanks on this Justin Smoak quote:

“Kinsler was a guy who took me under his ______ and showed me the ______ on and off the field. Looking back today, him being a pretty big-______ guy and me being a ______, he ______ed me a lot.”

That's fantastic!

Well done. I laughed! Haha.

Finally some offense.

It was like we were watching the Mariners and Padres there for a while.

Question,

Looking at a replay of Berkmans two-run single on MLB.com, it looked like the ball bounced foul. Am I missing something here?

by C-Nage on Oct 19, 2011 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

Cool,

Didn’t know about that rule so thanks for clarifying about that.

So wait. Pujols walked, right?

The ball that hit him bounced first. I know it doesn’t matter but it’s bothering me.

by goyo70 on Oct 19, 2011 6:37 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

I'm seeing HBP on gameday.

But I think it did bounce.

by the other side on Oct 19, 2011 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

He was hit by the pitch, and it counts as a hit by pitch even if it bounces in the dirt first.

The actual incorrect Pujols related box score item is that Pujols officially lined out in the first when Beltre caught the liner on the bounce. So there’s still something to be outraged about if anyone chooses to be.

Brain fart, I was thinking about something else.

by the other side on Oct 19, 2011 6:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

I did not realize

A bounced ball counts as a HBP. It was more “whuh?” than outrage.

by goyo70 on Oct 19, 2011 6:45 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

Of course he did! My intellect dreads October baseball for this very reason.

He’s looking pretty rough around the edges lately and he’s hella old. Please let it happen soon.

by Big Jared on Oct 19, 2011 7:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

Sutcliffe's actually been alright tonight (granted I've had it muted for the past few innings)

Kept his focus on the baseball rather than how wonderful each of the players are as human beings and teammates, and how precious life is.

I know he’s a cancer survivor but it gets annoying sometimes.

Go ahead run's on third.

Makes good sense to me. Especially with a strong bullpen.

by Aussie Mariner on Oct 19, 2011 7:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree, this is rather tame for Tony.

I still would feel more comfortable with Carpenter over the next two innings.

Larry Stone:

The 2011 World Series doesn’t have the Yankees .. but it does have the damn yankers: Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and Rangers manager Ron Washington, who have shown absolutely no compunction about yanking their starter at the first sign of distress.

I love Rzepcynski

I think that’s the longest appearance I’ve seen him make this postseason.

His full name is only six letters long. That’s so messed up.
