young guns

Rogue one. I dont belive it has anything to actually do rogue squadron. At least in the "legends" rogue squadron was created after the battle of yavin. Though since thats not cannon, they can try to force something about this either being done by "rogue squadron" or its creation.

Thanks. I now are dumber for having red that.

Both the twins and braves came into the weekend winless, both swept their opponent.

As Roderick said, I don't think Pena's lousy outing had a direct impact on Pena being taken off the roster. If he had struck out 14 guys over 4 innings or something, that probably would have made them reconsider. But I'm guessing if he has a normal scoreless outing, or doesn't pitch at all, he's still gone. If he did that he would have instantly become ace of the staff and pitching coach.

Maybe, maybe not. Game plays out differently but cost them? Meh. At this point i have more faith in our pitchers getting a hit than broxton, who would be in the 8 otherwise.

It was explained last night that craig feels the best spot to develop a young hitter is the 9 spot in the lineup, which is why broxton has been there. I dont mind villar hitting there when broxtons out because hes been getting on base half the time which is nice with the top of the order coming up instead of hill, pitcher, and niewenhuis coming up.

Nelson looks like a lion in the grass ready to pounce on a win.

Im wondering if that despite what theyve said about not worrying about the effect of CS on the players, they are avoiding placing as many true prospects as they can there for as long as they can.

What a terrible 20 seconds of basketball.

I think they just kept misspeaking. What they meant was this years tourny, and i think they started with that, but then got sloppy.

Not gonna matter what seed they are if they play like they did tonight.

Your TV provider credentials would be the login you use to manage your cable account, view bills, etc. Was reading through that and it says Hopefully that part just isnt updated yet or something.

I bet those 15 hour bus rides would bring joy to both the hypothetical cs team and the missoula teams. Closest team would be 5 hours away and next closest is 9 hours. Thats just not gonna happen.

My wife and i welcomed our first child into the world earlier today. 9# 9oz and 22 inches long baby boy. What an emotional ride. Both baby and mom (and me too) are doing fine.

Their sacrifice now complete, their world series win is now assured.

If they do expand, what would be the earliest time table for the new teams to start? I was pretty young during the last expansion and don't remember exactly, but I think I remember there was an expansion draft and each team gets to protect a certain amount of players. It got me thinking that this year probably would be less difficult to make decisions on who to protect then in future years. Would suck to have a championship team derailed by an expansion draft taking some key depth.

So in football, when Clay Matthews has the QB in his sights, he should be allowed 6 steps after the QB throws the ball? The would be unnecessary roughness all day long. In baseball, the only issue is their isn't much of a precedence for punishing Utley. So if that is your argument, that's fine. I won't disagree with that. But Utley, knew exactly what he was doing when he began his slide into the mid thigh of Tejada. It wasn't a split second, oooops moment. He knew based on where the ball was, where Tejada was coming from and where he needed so "slide" to take Tejada out completely. And my gut tells me, this type of tackle slide will soon be banned. Read the Police Magazine article. Let's give Chase Utley 1.5 seconds to be generous (as I noted earlier, the Tueller Drill has the person covering 21 feet in 1.5 seconds from a standing start - if he's running at full speed, that timeframe is going to be shorter). He's lost .58 seconds as he is seeing the second baseman field the ball and flip it to Tejada. That means he's taken two of those six steps, roughly. So, Utley's already taking two steps running at full speed as he sees the second baseman field the ball and flip it to Tejada. Now, he has to decide what to do, while still running at full speed. He can't think it through, by then, he is going to run past second. He's going to revert to his training - or in this case, what's been drilled into his head by coaches going back to high school or little league. That would be "break up the double play." In the case of Clay Matthews blitzing Jay Cutler, he's still going to need time - and space to stop when Cutler throws the pass. It will take two steps for Matthews to recognize Cutler's thrown the ball, and then at least oneor two more to make the decision he needs to stop. Should they look at this play and consider a rule change? Probably. But a suspension, especially when there is no precedent for doing so, is the wrong thing to do. The problem I see with your analogy is that with the police it is, guy running towards me with weapon, pull weapon to defend myself and then actually pulling the weapon, he only has those 21 feet to do that. With Utley, his decision process starts from the second he takes off, if not earlier. He only has 2 options, ball getting through and ball getting stopped by the fielder. When he starts running hes thinking, ball gets through im going to third if the fielder stops it im sliding into second to break up the double play, because he has to know that if the fielder gets to it the only way he will be safe is if theres an error. The cop also only has the time from when the guy starts running to react, whereas Utley can extrapolate where the ball is going and see before the fielder gets the ball that he will get the ball. So he has more time to act then just when the fielder actually touches the ball. I also think the act of starting a slide is a little easier to initiate then trying to draw a gun. Therefore I think he had more than enough time to slide safer if he wanted to and purposely went high to make sure Tejada couldn't complete the throw to first, though I don't think he wanted to hurt him, just knock him down.

They are saying it isnt a neighborhood play because it was a poor throw, making it reviewable. I just think utley should be out for that intentionally terrible attempt at a slide.

Yeah, but since the cards offense isnt as good, it effects them more...

I guess I will never understand the blocking the plate rules. To me, that seems like the exact thing a catcher is no longer allowed to do. It seemed to me the catcher could have fielded the ball without blocking the path of the runner, he didn't even leave a pathway, but I guess the umps thought otherwise.

He is hitting .296 on the year. Probably what he was looking at.

I agree with the OP. Its not that I want them to suck and lose, but right now they aren't competitive, by which I define as in the mix for the playoffs, and are so far back that even winning every remaining game only gives us a small chance at a wild card. When I watch the games or look at the box scores if I cant watch, I want to see the players had played well but somehow not won, except lohse and garza, they can suck all they want. For me, its about the future, in that winning now doesn't help now, but can hurt the future. All the early losing had a silver lining of the consolation prize of a top pick, and the slot money that goes with that pick. Winning now is like declining the consolation prize. It makes going through all the april hurt and anguish amount to nothing.

Listening to yesterdays game I questioned why was doing the game because his voice sounded bad still. I have to imagine that is part of it at least.

Wow, that is an out. You can clearly see him catch the ball and when he tags him, Utleys foot steps on the glove opening it and allowing the ball to come out. And even that takes 3 seconds. Im pretty sure even the NFL would have ruled that a catch! What it looked like to me is that counsell just wanted an explanation, but the ump kept saying we cant talk about it. What can't they talk about. Can the ump not tell him what the replay guys explanation was?
