Here's my eye test/SSS for Fielder, he doesn't look comfortable in there and that's extremely unusual for him, he's a little twitchy
that actually might be a good sign

It really is, because that would mean its mental and he'll bust out of it rather than it being a physical issue.

I don't like the double tap that he does with his front foot.

Seems like it would complicate his timing mechanism. When I was struggling I did two things, take the ball the other way, and pick my front foot up as little as possible.

It's unfortunate he decided to become mediocre at the plate with the Mariners. I've sure as hell never seen a better defensive 3B than him in my life though.

Come on over then.

Unfortunately I couldn't root for another team if I wanted to. Seattle teams until I die.

That's probably the game right there. Don't have faith in the Mariners actually scoring another run.

You know what is more frustrating? Watching your team not make the playoffs since the twin towers were standing.
Hey you one helluva football team. Relish in that.

I need to start checking scotch out, but don't have a clue where to start.

Honestly.....I wouldn't listen to me b/c I'm almost strictly a blended kind of guy. Those single/double malts can friggin kill ya, and fast. They're great, but butt kickin going down for sure.

Exactly. I did the same, along with not waving the bat around before the pitch. Simplify things.

I prefer a nice single barrel bourbon. Eagle Rare 10 year is incredibly underrated and very reasonable.

Yeah, that too. I just tried to get really quiet at the plate.
