He Vierlonked it!

 

 

 

 

No bueno?  Ok, back to the drawing board.

[chasfh]

Man, we could use a revived Matt Vierling at the plate these days.

Being forced to watch Cal Raleigh and Washington Trust Bank ads again because I live in Western Idaho and we have that bank here. Grrrr…

Could be worse ... you could be seeing those execrable Cure insurance ads with Tarik and Tork.

When he challenges, why bother with the replay system?  Just overturn the call.

T-Mobile has to get their money's worth.

Is it fair reason that part of the slow start could be to losing basically a year due to injury?

Man, if MLB still had those dopey player weekend jerseys, he could’of gone with HUMAN REPLAY SYSTEM.

Yes, that's fair.

Yes, but I wouldn’t say he’s been brutal this year.  Seems like he’s had a lot of solid ABs that just haven’t ended with hits.  He does a good job of taking pitches the other way.

Dillon “Overturned” Dingler

[monkeytargets39]

And Finnegan immediately gives it back.  Good grief

Ding Dong, that pitch call was wrong.

[Dan Gilmore]

Well, F!

[monkeytargets39]

They should be giving those seats behind home plates to youth sports teams

I didn’t know Finnegan was going by “F”.

Or me.

I went to a game last year and sat in the tier of seats up higher than those ones and I didn’t actually think it was a great view.  I prefer anything on the first base/right field side—better view of the scoreboard and clean view of the playing field.

I prefer some height, somewhere throughout the infield.  Not necessarily upper deck, but definitely not close to field level.

i was lower deck, a few rows from the top of the lower deck, in a line with the 3rd base line for a game vs Cleveland.  I think it was Vizquel on first.  Someone doubled down to the LF corner, and I saw everything from that play develop right in front of me as Vizquel was thrown out at home.  It felt kind of like an out of body experience that was quickly in slow motion.

Tork is quickly right back to striking out a lot

Three times in a row today… 

[casimir]

McKinstry with the well placed IF hit.

[Dan Gilmore]

Not sure it’s a good idea to run on this guy…

I’d like to see what happens if McKinstry’s hand wasn’t blocked by Sosa’s foot.  Might have been a successful steal.  I’m not saying it was intentional interference.  Sometimes crap happens.

[casimir]

Davis Schneider looks like a jacked up Tom Brookens.

Yeah a somewhat elevated view is ideal.
