Why not just DFA Garza if he's not pitching here -
Why is Swarzek pitching, what are you doing CC
-
I don't like them making a graphic calling the game over with 6 outs left
-
Flamingo Santana

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WalkerTexasRanger_5044.JPG plus now we clear the Braun spot as well for the 9th
-
I don't know what you are talking about, Knebel is an elite pitcher this year. 3rd of all MLB Relievers in fangraphs WAR, 2nd in bb-ref WAR
-
Phillips thinking man that is a moon shot in Colorado Springs
-
Thankfully Braun just K'd instead of one of his crappy double play grounders
-
Indians have been Yosted
-
Guerra in a tie game?!??! He cannot be allowed to face Stanton
-
Lackey gives up a go ahead single to the Cards pitcher, then gets ejected along with their catcher. Haha, obviously it must be over pitch #5 in the AB, called a ball somehow.

The NFL is not a good comp because the "currency" of the NFL is QBs. Whoever has the best QBs are guaranteed to be perennial contenders. Salary cap has nothing to do with getting the best QBs. They have to be drafted and then are simply just given massive contracts. They are never traded and never become FAs. The "currency" of baseball however, is money. But I would not say we at a massive disadvantage, our disadvantage is that it is literally impossible for us to sign top tier free agents. No matter how much we can afford a bigger market team can just pay more. These days it seems like most FAs are getting their big paydays after some of their primes so it doesn't hurt as much to miss them. We can still trade for these guys so we can at least have a hope to get them when it might really help, like Sabathia.

So now Wilkerson will go on Weds @ PIT? Then vs the Cubs we will have Davies - Woodruff - Suter - Anderson
-
Oops you are right. I will choose ignorance and continue with Wang for my own amusement
-
Go to two random places in Wisconsin and ask how to pronounce Mueller. Miller vs Mueller does not cost you any jokes so that's not the same comparison. Why would the English translation use an "a"
-
Chien-Ming and Wei-Chung are both from Taiwan. The former is pronounced Wang, can we really be sure ours is really pronounced Wong?
-
"Overran" is definitely the best verbal description of what he did, but is seems odd that what he did should really be treated differently by a slide where the player clearly achieved second base and slipped off the base. Why is one considered better than the other?
-
Now Broxton has a double, and although he didn't overslide, it seems like his play was really an "overslide" where he just didn't slide.
-
Anderson said single but that's a double. It has to be. Very interesting call here. Rule 10.07 Example 1©: © When the batter attempts to make a two base hit or a three base hit by sliding, he must hold the last base to which he advances. If he overslides and is tagged out before getting back to the base safely, he shall be credited with only as many bases as he attained safely. If he overslides second base and is tagged out, he shall be credited with a one base hit; However, technically he did not slide...so does the NOTE to the above example apply? NOTE: If the batter overruns second or third base and is tagged out trying to return, he shall be credited with the last base he touched. If he runs past second base after reaching that base on his feet, attempts to return and is tagged out, he shall be credited with a two base hit. hmmm, the letter of the law says double, but not sure if "overruns" is meant to mean seriously trying for the next base, but returning if you see a good throw or previous runner go back.
-
Interesting, does he not get a double since he did touch 2nd base safely at one point during the play
-
Great read from Phillips there, he beat the pitcher to the plate so no throw could have gotten him
-
We have Bonds Cepeda Mays, McCovey and Ott. The last player is part of a better question, he is one of 2 players to the league in HRs in back to back seasons for 2 different teams (meaning he led his league in HRs at least 4 times). Can you name them? Since you guys gave up, the final Giant is Johnny Mize, who did the same thing with the Cardinals. This second question is a great question because the other answer is Babe Ruth but it is not obvious. It would be like coming up with a hockey trivia question where Wayne Gretzky is the answer but no one would guess him.
-
To answer my own question, it was this game in 2006 (for a 9 inning game), more recently than I would have thought
-
Chuckie Carr and Yuni? I agree Votto is a good guess. Maybe Goldschmidt?
