Lillian Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Boy, the book is really out on Tim. 5 sliders at the same speed, in the same location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Random thought. Moylan is a lucky dude in that he doesn't have to experience winter. When the season ends, he goes home to Australia where it's spring. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 07:48 PM) Basically the favorable position the cat has put itself into before pouncing on the bird. To me, it's the same as waiting in the weeds. From Webster's Dictionary: In the catbird seat was among the numerous folksy expressions that legendary baseball broadcaster Red Barber used to delight listeners. Some say he invented the expression; others say that he dug it up from his Southern origins. But the truth may be far stranger than those rumors. In a 1942 short story titled "The Catbird Seat," James Thurber featured a character, Mrs. Barrows, who liked to use the phrase. Another character, Joey Hart, explained that Mrs. Barrows must have picked up the expression from Red Barber. To Red, according to Joey, sitting in the catbird seat meant 'sitting pretty,' like a batter with three balls and no strikes on him. But, according to Barber's daughter, it was only after Barber read Thurber's story that he started using "in the catbird seat" himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Still seems strange how Lopez has all but abandoned his slider. Kinda looks more like a closer to me than a starter at this point Edited September 12, 2017 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) My goodness what a bomb by Engel. KC's bullpen is truly horrific, but WOW that ball was smashed. Three-run homer. Notice Avi just poke that single up the middle? It's not a fluke folks. Mr. Garcia has learned how to hit. Whoever taught him how to hit should be coaching our young hitters when they come up or before. Nice to beat the hell out of the Royals, who have absolutely no pitching. p.s.: Abreu is amazing.

I won't argue your point except to say Jason must not be counting having to watch Holland, Pelfrey and Shields pitch and some of those relievers. Watching those 3 starters pitch -- and they've pitched a lot -- has been a horrible experience for the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
