Has it always leaked rain in CF when it's pouring outside?

At the juice box tonight ... Kemp has impressed so far in his call up

Kemp is known for being an acrobat out there

All Kemp has to do is be close to league average at the plate and I doubt he ever goes back down this year.

Way to shallow for bregman to have rounded 2nd

1st inning aggressive baserunning that took a prefect throw. That's not exactly a tootblan.

Exactly. I have no problem with it. Tip your hat to Melky.

Agree. He makes that 9 out of 10 times, great throw, great tag.

I wasn't a fan of that decision by Bregman. RF fielded that so quickly and so shallow that his "perfect throw" wasn't all that hard to make. I think Bregman is out probably 70% of the time on that

I have to admit I really dig the ESPN production of the game. The camera shots and the "style" they use is really high end feeling. I used to not even notice this stuff until I started teaching audio video production this year.

Not really sure why Reddick is in the 5 hole.... he's hitting like a 8-9 guy right now

pretty silly that we are all throwing percentages out there like we even know but based on the fact that the guys calling the game that know a lot more than we do called it a "great throw" and despite that great throw and great tag by the third baseman he was barely out, your percentage seems off.

70% of the time he's out every time

The best part of that line is that Paul Rudd can barely keep a straight face when delivering it.

Cabrera fielded the ball as Bregman was touching second base. From shallow right field. The throw bounced twice and still beat him easily. I think we can expect an average right fielder to two hop a throw into 3rd from shallow right, somewhat near the bag.

As for the commentators, on Alonso's error A-rod said it was a mental mistake, not a physical one. Despite Alonso bobbling a routine grounder. I guess I'm suppose to just accept their word as biblical truth based on what you say
Harry Dunne

Yeah, thats good but he's a horse. He's averaging about 115 pitches over his last 3 starts.

Springer swung at two pitches outside the strike zone. Hit to have some patience and hit a pitch in the zone

I apologize, I did not realize I was dealing with someone that knows more than A-Rod about baseball.

We can agree to disagree.

But your arguement that A-rod is untouchable in knowledge is dumb. I guess nobody should say that Michael Jordan is a bad GM. He's the greatest all time so I guess he knows the most about basketball of anyone.

Oh, and if you watched the playoffs last year you'd know A-rod picked the Yankees over the Astros in nearly every game. But your right, he's always right

LMJ's curve ball talk was good stuff.
Harry Dunne
How long do you want to ignore this user?
He's definitely not untouchable, I never said or implied that. He makes mistakes & says dumb stuff just like any other human.

I'm only saying that on that play am more inclined to go with the opinion (that I agree with) of the future Hall of Famer and great baserunner Alex Rodriguez rather than the opinion of CSWendt.

Also remember Melky was called up from AAA pretty recently. They probably had it in the game plan to test him every chance they got.
