Babe Ruth's and .... Lorenzen? https://www.mlb.com/news/michael-lorenzen-homers-notches-win-for-reds?partnerId=ed-14376837-1165042963https://www.mlb.com/news/michael-lorenzen-homers-notches-win-for-reds?partnerId=ed-14376837-1165042963 There have been many other pitchers/ position players, but I always thought Vic Davalilo would do this. (He pitched 185 games in the minors, but only 2 in the majors) Later
Every time we think Matz has finally got his shit together, he pulls the football away like Lucy. I'd keep Strohman in for this turn because: He has pitched batter in his last few starts He is a "ground ball pitcher" and Philly is a bandbox Even a blind dog hits an occasional fire hydrant, and he's due for a good game.

My kid finished the season with a slash line of: .292/.328/.489/.817 The other numbers were: 44G 192PA, 178 AB, 26 R, 52 H, 11 2B, 0 3B, 8 HR, 49 RBI, 0-2 SB, 8 BB, 36K. Not bad. Keep it up, kid. Later

=G-Fafif post_id=20535 time=1567361766 user_id=55] These cards are diabolical genius. I thought they should have their own thread, but their continued existence in this thread somehow makes them even more diabolical genius.
There is no simple answer to the second one. I'm not playing games, sparky. I'm still waiting for a cogent answer to the first one. What was it about a "giving up" thread that made you think these were pertinent? I asked the question simply, so you can understand it. Later

The Platinum Award winner at a recent Los Angeles Film Festival, this feature film is about the feelings of family members after the loss of a loved one. It is based on the true story of an Irish - American family from New York. It was produced and directed by Christopher Hall, the son of one of my co-workers. Chris has worked for Spielberg and Scorcese, so he has an excellent pedigree. It has not been released into general distribution yet, but keep a lookout for it. Later
Alonso should be tearing up this bandbox, and isn't. Are the pitchers getting him out or has he been getting himself out (swinging at bad pitches)? Later
