Well, when the best lead-off hitters in this day and age are regarded as being guys like Francisco Lindor and George Springer. It makes a good deal of sense.

We'll find out soon enough.

That Vaughn kid has a nice baseball ass. One of those asses that say "Lotta hum dingers comin' your way Comiskey outfield."

His physique does resemble that of a young Paulie Walnuts....at least from the neck down. I'd be pretty happy if he had as good of a career too.

The Birth of Edwin Encarnacion's 'Parrot Walk' Home Run Trot

Tell me I'm not the only dumb blankity blank who didn't know this story. So Timmy will have the bitflip and EE will have the Parrott trot. I believe Eloy points to heaven. Robert's will be "how can anyone run so gracefully?"

Encarnation btw is zero for spring training at the plate. He is still zoning in his hand eye coordination.

what makes you think he's pointing to heaven? where do you think hell is .... the bowels of this planet?

Mingo focusing on Home run trots while I'm just hoping our leadoff doesn't whiff 200 times this season.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before I uncover my existential interlocker in this forum.

However, in answer to your question - I think it is the sign of the cross prior to the point that leads me to my conclusion.

you mean that X he makes?

I don't know X or cross - I'm not Catholic. If Eloy does an X - that's great because that's how I sign my name.

don't care if it is only spring and 17 games. not liking our big guns hitting .185, .185, 231, .000 and .222 so far.

maybe it's actually a + and he's counting his hr's?

Not worried until I confirm BABIP and mood in clubhouse with Grandal.

Sox have started thinning the camp roster by optioning some players to the minors:

RHP Zack Burdi
RHP Tayron Guerrero
RHP Bryan Mitchell
LHP Bernardo Flores
LHP Caleb Frare
LHP Kodi Medeiros
LHP Matt Tomshaw
OF Micker Aldolpho
OF Luis Basabe
OF Blake Rutherford
C Seby Zavala

Out of this batch I think the one with the best chance of an in-season call up will be Zack, assuming he stays healthy and continues his comeback from TJ.

I thought Burdi, Flores, Tomshaw and Basabe showed pretty well in their fortnight with the major leaguers. Burdi will very likely be back to the majors sometime this season. These are my opinions, of course.

They didn't stop baseball for Pearl Harbor or the war that followed it. No, they played the games because the president thought the people needed a diversion from the war news and family worries.

We need to get those players hermetically sealed and keep them that way while they play the season for us via internet broadcasts. You got to be frigg'n kidding me - we are all going to have to stay home with no sports on TV? 2020 is turning out to be a pansy assed year. Come on MLB figure it out - you can make yourselves a pile of money and endear baseball to the millions again. Playing ball is the patriotic thing to do.

That's all I had on my mind for now.

God I could watch game 2 over and over and over...That dvd is burned out at this point. When Buck the idiot is talking about Lidge "getting that taste out of his mouth" right before Scotty Pods' knock....Who needs Viagra?

I loved AJ Pierzinski - who I now refer to as yesterday's Yas.

Pierzynski was pretty boss for us from 31-34, hopefully Grandal is the same.

March Madness is cancelled, MLB is suspended until further notice and same for NBA, PGA, etc.

Literally, this is horse shit.

Two NBA players and Tom Hanks got it! "Oh my god, it's not like a professional athlete or entertainer ever got the flu! Stop everything for MONTHS!"
