    Did the MLBPA have to approve ABS?

    I would think it continues for at least the short term. Catchers are used to doing it and there’s no penalty for continuing. Certainly in a game where the opposition is low on challenges and there’s still the thought that it can help steal a strike here and there.

    I wonder if enough of these outings forces MLB to go to ABS all of the time sooner than we think.

    I’m happy with 2-1 to start this season. There have been too many things, even minor, on the defensive side in my opinion. I can deal with the results as long as a sound game has been played. Sometimes the other team is just better. That’s baseball. But sloppy defense isn’t going to help things if they continue.

    Perfect encapsulation of this game.

    Yeah, can’t complain about taking a road series against a playoff contender.

    Lots of challenges on balls & strikes tonight.

    Take away Keith’s two hits and the entire lineup is a large black hole tonight.

    I don’t mind aggressive base running. If it yields more outs than runs, then obviously they need to rethink things. But they’re not there yet, so I’m not worried.

    The timing of your link is fantastic. I read through the same for Mickey Lolich, Jim Price, and Norm Cash yesterday.

    I work in the packaged foods industry. Year over year inflation for my specific location that produces shelf stable canned goods is 8.5% for materials in the bill of materials.

    Might as well sweep the series.

    Nope, not if, when.

    Pretty sure it happened last season after the opening series against the Dodgers.

    What do I know, I’m a hack. But his plate appearances are so good so far. Good balance at the plate. Good eye for the strike zone. Can get deep into counts (fouled off quite a few with 2 strikes) or get in and rip it early. Yes, small sample size. Teams probably don’t have enough of a book on him. But very encouraging early on.

    Yeah, I’ve wondered that, too. Or does Whitaker go to 3B and Trammell to 2B? Didn’t Whitaker start with the Tiger organization as a 3B and then was moved to 2B? I know later in his career he was going to move to 3B for some 2B prospect that was never to be.

    Must’of been the kilt.

    Would you prefer them run station to station? Sometimes in a competition one side takes risks but the other side does better. That’s the nature of it.

    Not great nicknames.

    I want to say the best nicknames aren’t derivatives of given names. Cool Papa. Big Unit. Babe. Catfish. Pudge. Three Finger. But then some are so simplistic and the literal sound of the nickname is good. Something like Yaz. Or Teddy Ballgame.
  23. casimir
    Ok, Boomer.

    It’s Friday in Lent. I’ll wager good money Bert is wearing a kilt.

    Please, no KMac. That’s cheap and plasticy.
