Something something you're a faggot.

Something Vice would say.

Please excuse me, while I go suck this dick.

Meanwhile, I just dropped a glass of fine whiskey on the kitchen floor. Had to clean it up and vacuum the broken glass so the Oompaloompas that live here don't cut their feet on the tiles. Still, I'm not in a bad mood because now the kitchen smells delicious.

I once made the mistake of leaving a bottle of Knob Creek Single Barrel on top of my fridge. My fridge is directly underneath the laundry room, and the vibrations from the washing machine shook the bottle off. Woke up in the morning to the smell of 120 proof bourbon.

(You goin' back to 2015? Cherry picking is cool I guess, but try to keep it within the current season maign.)

So's there's no confusion:

Salazar in 2016, 51 BB, 20 GS. That's 2.55 BB/GS, not 4.

Salazar, April 8th through July 4th, 99 IP, 2.36 ERA.

Miggy hurt. Out of game. How many injuries can 1 team endure? ????

I give him credit for making it this long. Even more so Victor.

As Nolan Ryan used to say:

"I could go a nutha nine innins."

As DannyBoys says:

"I could walk 3.9 guys on average."

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I could go for some quality rum about now...

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Vice ain't got shit on you guys.

VMarts HEART is pumping 93% calf blood currently.

The rest is embalming fluid and tobacco juice.

Good stuff. We'll now measure what a pitcher does "per game" according to what he does per nine. After all, most pitchers go nine innings per game. Sort of.

Buckle up.

If you like rum, I HIGHLY suggest Angel's Envy Finished Rye. It's rye whiskey finished in Caribbean rum barrels. It's spendy as hell, about $80 per 750ml, but the stuff is 100 proof yet tastes sweet enough to be a delicious dessert in a whiskey glass.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I kinda like that version of Bloody Well Right. The keys at the start are pretty sweet.

If you don't agree, change your mind.

That dude's a beast. He cried when he left Cleveland which is remarkable on its own right. But he just keeps going. Wish him the best.

Buckle up.

Games are still 9 innings long, right?

How is ERA formulated?

Have it your way, sport.

I'll take the 3.9 BBs with the 10.2 Ks, and 3.38 ERA "per game" and be happy with it, even if it's not dominant by your exalted standards.

Still waiting for September to get here for expanded rosters. Would like to see Dozier and Bonifacio for next year.

You just saw Dozier. Gave your pitching neck cramps.

Back to being really good again.

I'll hate him again by May.

I keep thinking he'll turn into Dan Uggla with how damn pull happy he is, but it never quite happened.

Verlander pitching today. Waiting for "razor" report from doug. Doubtful even doug will be predicting anything will be "broken off" with Duffy going for Royals.

Yeah odd player. Basically a guy who would be amazing to have on your team if he's like your legit 4th best hitter....not best.

Uggla though was far more K prone right? Dozier is just weird because he's so streaky, insane power for a 2B with decent contact abilities and decent plate discipline.

Will be interesting to see if he actually maintains a average north of .260. Still half hate him though.
