Walton gets a start; Babe behind the dish.

5-2 good guys

Is “Babe” our nic for him, or is that a nic that is used irl? If it is ours, how did it come about?

I use it, and it rolls off the tongue perfectly. I just don’t remember the origins.

I think it was our nickname, when he muscled up a couple of times as Busters backup.

Flower power, btw. 2-2 tie and Webby went 7.

Nice game

6-1 spots in the order are 0-16 with no walks and 5 Ks.

No bueno.

Longo Dongo.

3-2 good guys

Did Webb get left in too long? Either way, good game from him.

Whelp. Kap tried to get a CG out of Webby and instead he gives up the homer and we have Manfredball.

I'm turning this one off. See y'all tomorrow.

I wasn’t watching. Sounds like he was dealing, though, and was under 100 pitches going into 9th. Bad result, but I am not sure there is any blame to give on that one.

I see Manfredball worked out ok today.

I still phuking hate it.

I have softened on it, but it still should not be implemented until the 12th, at the earliest.


Having it in the 10th is just stupid.

I dream of a world where we call our players by their actual name...


...so I don't have to scroll through 30 different threads to figure out who "Palpatine" is...

@calsnowskier & @Stokes1931 , may I suggest a sticky thread for nicknames?

Didn’t we have one at one point?

 

[calsnowskier]

But if a nic becomes “official”, it kinda loses its fun, except for the BEST ones (Herk, Timmeh, maybe Babe…)

I cannot remember. If we did, it disappeared long ago. Any idea what it was named?
