I reiterate my prediction that Collmenter will throw an 11-hit shutout.

artie_fufkin · 5/27/2015 7:28 pm

And Wong drills the first pitch of the game out of the park. Jinxed that one good.

Adams is out 3-4 months?!?

If it's torn (and that hasn't been ruled out) then it requires surgery to repair.

A torn what?

Artie, a question. Do many pitchers throw from the opposite side of the rubber?

It took me a minute to figure out why Collmenter looked so odd, the. I realized he was almost standing on the left side of the pitching rubber. I don't remember seeing many pitchers do that, but thought maybe it more common than I realized.

Quad.

Gosewisch is throwing it back harder than it's coming in.

forsberg_us · 5/27/2015 8:13 pm

According to Al, Lynn is a better pitcher when he doesn't give up home runs.

It's uncommon. Most righties tend to line up on the right side of the rubber and most lefties go to the left side, but I'm not sure there's a logical explanation. I guess you go where you feel the most comfortable, especially in the major leagues, where the mounds are groomed immaculately. Most of the mounds I threw off had that big hole in front of the rubber, which I tried to avoid because I felt like I was throwing uphill. I tried to stay middle-left. I always felt if I was too far to the right, I was throwing across my body. Good grief. In writing it all sounds very diva-ish. No wonder why hitters think pitchers suck.

He gets paid real money to say things like that.

Wow is Heyward bad.

artie_fufkin · 5/27/2015 8:40 pm

I'm convinced the Bible Bangers who live down the street are running either a meth lab or a brothel. There are no adult men who live there, and none of the adult women has a job except for a woman about 40 who supposedly gives "violin lessons." There are cars coming and going all the time, usually driven by men. They stay about 20-30 minutes, And they're nice cars. There was a BMW parked outside when I walked the dog tonight, and there's a Saab out there right now.

It's too bad the Cardinals don't play in the AL where they could DH for him.

Actually now that I'm looking at it, Lynn does the same thing.

Ok, now there are two big pickups parked out in front. It's a big 2-family (the only one on the street) with high hedges to the front and left side, and a 6-foot fence to the right and along the back. The shades are always drawn.
I'm not sure how many people live there. There's a grandmother, two women who appear to be 40-45, a couple of women in their late teens, a couple of pre-teen girls and a boy who is maybe 8-9. All the kids of school age are home-schooled, or at least I've never seen any of them walking to and from school. There was a boy who is probably 25 now. When we moved in, he was about 13 and went to the public school, but according to Cub Fan's wife next door, the kid got picked on a lot, started wearing Goth attire and grew his hair long, dropped out of high school and ended up moving to Florida.
There goes one of the pickups ... let's see what happens next.

Heyward , *sigh*

artie_fufkin · 5/27/2015 9:23 pm

Heyward's skills are deteriorating by the day.

artie_fufkin · 5/27/2015 9:29 pm

Any chance the Cardinals can get Shane Robinson back from the Twins?

artie_fufkin · 5/27/2015 9:33 pm

Harris is way, way over on the left side of the rubber.

artie_fufkin · 5/27/2015 9:47 pm

Do these people who are wearing Blackhawks sweaters at Wrigley Field think they're at a hockey game?

forsberg_us · 5/27/2015 10:23 pm

Holy shit, where did that come from?

tkihshbt · 5/27/2015 10:24 pm

Is that so damn hard, Heyward? THANK YOU

I was asked earlier today if Angels' fans had started turning on Pujols because his batting average is .235. I really haven't watched the Angels too much this season, but I tuned in tonight to their game against the Padres, with the Padres' feed with Dick Enberg. The Angels apparently had a ceremony before last night's game to honor Enberg, who used to be their announcer and is going into the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer. Enberg, who usually never says anything bad about anyone, said on the air everyone from the Angels was gracious to him but Pujols, who he described as "glowering."
Maybe God wasn't talking to Albert after all in 2011.
