I like it.

Maybe find a way to get more of an orange outline around the H on the astros logo?
Yea, I was worried about it but ran with it anyway.

sorry. He was calling out people who abide by the "don't talk about a no-hitter"

The main host then said, "I disagree, as a spiritual man…."

Interesting. I don't remember seeing the backstory on these, but from the holes at the top I thought it was like a parking spot sign placard type thing.

Garden flags, but I do have people that use them for in their garages, and signs inside their house.

So it has the slot along the top to slide on the stands like this?

No slot, just use a couple S hooks on the hanger.

This is who we picked up when we dropped Bannon. He's only been up 2 games this yer and got lit up. Plus slider from the left side. Maybe we can figure something out with him.

This isn't "figure it out at the ML level" time. That's stupid. They should be adding an arm that they know can pitch. Bielak may not be great but he knows what he's doing.

Yeah calling up a project pitcher for an experiment during a tight playoff race in mid-Sept doesn't sound like that great of an idea.

But I'm not a ML GM so what do I know?

Anyone that is in on a flag/sign let me know. I need to order them. They come in black/orange/blue. Send me a pm or email in profile.

will be changing the top a little to make it stand out more but it is close. Not sure yet, will depend on how many blanks I buy and shipping and such. Just trying to see who all is in so I can put that together.

**Can also customize them in anyway you would like. If you want a name or initial that can be done.

TBR - 18.4 / 44.3 / 37.4 / 12.8

General thoughts:
  • Near the top except in high lev & at home. Checks out since we lead in runs, BA, OBP, SLG, & OPS.
  • Toronto's offense has kind of sucked
  • As a whole, these 7 teams have been better offensively on the road (slightly)
  • Maldy & Abreu are absolute boat anchors vs RHP
  • BAL & TBR have some serious luck going on with the high BABIP yet low LD, high GB & IFFB.
  • SEA batted ball split is nice!
  • I want to do the same kind of review for Pitching but I am worried how we will fair.

Dang, I thought our high leverage was good, maybe it is just a couple of guys and the rest are dragging down, or most of that was pre all star?

110 for the full season

For the season
  • Yordan, Chas, & TED have played above an MVP level (230-348)
  • Doobie, Breggy, & Altuve have been very good (139-150)
  • Julks & Meyers have not been good (85-86)
  • Pena, Diaz, Abreu have been terrible (1-22)
  • Maldy is -79. I don't think I have ever seen it that low... ever. .045 BA, .045 OBP, .091 SLG, .136 OPS.

edit: Connor Wong is also -79 & Edmundo Sosa is -85. Talk about unclutch.

edit2: Yordan leads the league, Chas is 3rd, & TED is 9th.

I'm going to Miami for work next week and plan to go see a marlins game. Any pointers for their stadium? Places to park, areas to avoid, good areas to sit or see in the stadium?

Its amazing though how cheap even good seats are at some stadiums. I was in Baltimore earlier this week and got row 4 seats behind homeplate (slightly to the third base side) for $74 each. The team with the best record in the AL...

Yeah, Pena has an uncanny ability to not get the runner home from 3rd with less that 2 outs. They showed his avg a month or two ago and it was abysmal and don't think it has improved.

My seats earlier this year against the Rockies $65 & $35 respectively. Not quite as good as yours, but still way cheaper than in Houston. The plus side to the local team sucking.

I have a really funny story involving Tony Kemp, Coors Field and patron shots... I'll go into more detail after a couple beers when/if we do our meetup.
