Oh christ, you too? I know, I know, and you know why I know? Because the announcers made sure to repeat the fact. God forbid them just saying, WTF is this T-ball Night in America?Rays are a top base-running team!!! AND BESIDE THEY WON ANYWAY!@@!!
crazy
Reynolds pretty surprising as well
He's at the age when players start to regress pretty severely. Doesn't seem out of the question for it to be nothing more than age + small sample size, plus the fact that he's a notoriously a hot/cold player. I think I read somewhere that he's had longer homerless droughts, they just didn't stand out as much because they didn't come at the start of a season.
No, he's not.
Only 9 years and 5 months left on that contract.
Five were against the Oaklands
Khalil Greene is in the best shape of his life
Ben Grieve is getting his swing back.
OK, whatever. Point is, he's had power droughts similar to this before. Combine that with the fact that he's getting old and was already regressing pretty severely last season and the relatively small sample size, and the bottom line is that there's no reason to assume the struggles are the product of injury.'dparker713 said:
Wow. It didn't look that bad.
whats worse is they are saying hamstring...I think I would have preferred a meniscus like I originally thought.

Maybe Billy Beane can flip Inge for a prospect
F Me!!
How do the Royals have 2 errors in the first inning and all those runs are earned?
Both errors were throwing errors that resulted in a runner taking an extra base. All runs scored before the first out of the inning was made. Hochevar actually pitched out of a two on, nobody out jam.How do the Royals have 2 errors in the first inning and all those runs are earned?
What the hell have they done with his delivery motion? Looks a lot
Beckham's now 3-3 against him. Where's bottom?What the hell have they done with his delivery motion? Looks a lot
Reminds me of Sutcliff.What the hell have they done with his delivery motion? Looks a lot
I've seen some exceptionally bad strike zones this season. And many seem to change from half inning to half inning. I feel like umps are trying to call more high strike, which I'm fine with. But I think it could be throwing their whole zone out of whack.
Watching that live was hilarious. Helton looked at the ump quickly like, "really" and started to trot off like a 5 year old who just stole from the cookie jar.No idea what you guys are talking about here.There is a LOT of bad umpiring so far this season
In slow-mo you can see exactly what happened. He originally saw Helton on the bag but was looking over at the Third baseman when Helton shifted off the bag to pick up the throw. When he looks back for the ball he sees Helton pick it, but his view of bag is totally blocked by Helton and he never saw Helton move - so he calls him out on the scoop. It's a judgement call, so once he makes it they can't gather the other umpires to overturn it. Unfortunately, he just got caught in probably the one spot in the entire stadium where you couldn't see Helton's foot 3 feet off the bag.
Being aggressive leads them to not make dumb non-aggressive base running plays?
