Lackey with no no in tact thru 3 (lol). With only 34 pitches and both sides ultra aggressive, he's going for a Maddux-style CG here. Although, I guess on pace for 102 pitches in a CG would be laboring for Maddux.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

I remember Maddux throwing a CG against the Cubs with 67 pitches...winning 3-1. Game was like 1:40 minutes or something like that."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

Watching Eric Aybar "play" baseball makes me want to drink...just one of the worse performances I've seen all around in a long time these first few weeks.
BTW - we are wrapping up the 3rd week of play...the Braves have 3 HR's and two of those came on opening day!"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

I'm going to start calling letting the pitcher bat in the bottom half and then pulling him in the top half a "Fredi". It's something he just loves to do, for whatever reason, and it drives me crazy."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.

Despite his two hits tonight, Freeman continues to just play awful all around. A big error that led to a run in the 1st, a play not made later that should have been, and 2 K's. I hope he gets it in gear soon..."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

Reds definitely not safe yet. 9-5 in the 7th. A potential big run out there at 2nd base with 2 outs.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

What a freakin' embarrassment...how the heck our bullpen is so bad once again is beyond me. Ryan Weber...Marksberry...Grilled Cheese...all of them blow.Last edited by Sportsforever; 04-23-2016, 09:01 PM."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.

I can't believe Chien-Ming Wang is still pitching. Totally forgot he was a thing.Comment

I just saw a clip of Manny Machado diving for a ball on the third base line and throwing a strike to first from his knees.
I have never seen anyone do that. I also have barely seen Machado play so this might be a regular thing for a phenomenal defensive player."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
