The obvious plan is to wait for Pujols to keep sucking for another couple months, then trade for him while getting the Angels to pay 80% of his salary. -
When a guy gets to 2 strikes, he has to expand the zone. He can't be overly picky. The fastball in likely looked good coming out of the pitcher's hand and kept running in. The ball he hit darted outside very suddenly. Sometimes pitchers make good pitches. That last one to Braun was good.
-
I can't wait for the hawing meltdown.

Come on. I'm no trainer, but jogging back to the dugout didn't escalate his injury from "bad" to "season ending." In fact, it likely had no effect at all. I'm sure the trainers checked his knee, didn't detect anything right then and there, so they gave him a chance to test it out, probably even saying, "Look, if it hurts at all, don't be a hero." He tested it, it hurt, and he sat down.
-
I wouldn't do anything mean. He's a good guy. Hell, you should try to befriend him and get some free meals at his restaurant. He may even throw in a personal training session.

I've always felt that umps allow themselves to be influenced by the emotion of the crowd way too much. Doesn't really happen in football, but it happens constantly in basketball, and very often with balls and strikes (particularly strikes on the final visiting hitter) in baseball. It's just silly. Also, I can't stand that umps are allowed to have their own custom strike zone. Call it like it is drawn up in the rule book. I understand if you miss one sometimes, but to have totally different strike zones game to game is ludicrous.
-
I agree. Just two homers at a time.

Will Braun ever learn to take his Walks?

As long as he keeps raking, I'm not going to be terribly concerned about Braun's walk rate. -
Aside from K-Rod sucking again, I can't get too mad about Kotsay last night. He had a few big, late inning hits for us last year and seemed like a good dude. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the guy.
-
Nothing like getting into the moment, ump.
-
Remember when Kotsay had big pinch hits for us? Those were good times.
-
I don't mind the bunt attempt, as playing for one run isn't a terrible idea at this point in the game. I can see both sides, though.
-
Japanese hitters often don't. Aoki is the typical "step in the bucket" slap hitter.
-
The home plate ump may suck, but that was a great call by the second base ump on the Braun steal.
-
Thanks. Hopefully I'll be watching soon.
-
Details?
-
Please don't tell me the injury delay is Marcum.
-
I can think of one that didn't.
-
DFA Braun?

Braun does have a very long swing, so I could see how pounding him inside could be a strategy, if executed well. -

Yup, happens to all teams. I mean, look at the last two games for Brewers' opponents. Cards have 1st and 3rd and no outs and don't score, then the Padres have 2nd and 3rd and no outs and don't score. -
TH wrote that Braun and Fred Lynn are the only guys to do it in the last 50 years.
