I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ("a ball outside"), and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so.....but I know it when I see it, and the pitch involved in this case was not that.

What'll you give me for Ollie Marmol?

David Ross.   In a heartbeat.  :smile:

Trout and Rendon are injured.  Welcome to 9 straight losing seasons with Ohtani and Salt Lake Bees.  Another bad free agent signing when Farte could have given us some PITCHING!

 

And now Ohtani leaves the game with a trainer after giving up back to back home runs.

 

I'm not even an Angels fan and this sucks hard.

A hundred years of devil magic and it all reverses in one year?  Enjoy it when you can, I guess.

It's wrong to enjoy that (though the Marlins are a sneaky-good team and fun to watch). The baseball gods will remember this.

It will somehow accrue to the Cardinals' benefit, we can be sure, it's just a question of how.   My first guess is that since Goldschmidt the Dbacks have actually developed a good player, the Cards will reacquire  Kolten Wong and trade him and Wainwright to the Dbacks for Corbin Carroll and Zac Gallen.

Swept by Padres.  Why am I not surprised?  They'll probably use Adell as trade bait like they did with Brandon Marsh on the Phillies last season.  Newsflash, Farte!  Channeling Rachel Phelps in Major League is NOT A GOOD FLEX!

And don't forget the increased likelihood of the number one draft pick!

Stupid Brewers…..

That was ridiculous. Is it just me or does Bob Uecker sounds like Daffy Duck? With a hint of Maxwell Smart.

Alas, I haven't listened to Uecker in a while.  I can't get Brewers radio online, and the TV crew - Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder - is HORRIBLE. 

 

I gotta put a huge antenna on my roof!

You can't get WTMJ? I'm in Chicago and I get the station on my radio. It's not a crystal-clear sound but you can make out the score at least.

My TV and surround system are in the lower level, where radio reception is very poor.   

 

I just checked the WTMJ website, and I'm now listening to the game.  I must have been doing something wrong.....LOL

 

The online radio broadcast is at least 5 minutes behind the actual game....:ohmy:

Thanks, Rob, for your f***ing bullshit umpires who f***ing can't call a f***ing ball or strike to save their f***ing lives.  If you cared about the f***ing game you'd quit now and repay the league every f***ing penny you didn't earn, which is all of them.

 

f**k you you worthless hunk of shit.

I've always said that the problem with most of LABT's posts is that it's hard to tell what he really means.

Sir Corbin the Brave!  He laughs at balks!
 

Corbin Burnes, already having thrown to 1st base twice, throws over there again and picks off the runner!   :thumbsup:
