Base hit by Wood (Brandon, not Kerry) - line drive up the middle.

Angels getting good contact off of Z. Announcers say Z is pounding his glove on the mound, obviously upset.

Mid-season form? ;-)

Soto dropped 40 lbs and waist size went from 42 to 36

so say the Angels team.

Meanwhile, Napoli crushes one to deep LF, over 400 ft. Well over the berm, over the fence, and into the parking lot on the fly.

Angels up 2-0.

Just like I get tired of people that think a walk is better than a triple.

Dude, plate discipline is fine. But tell me which you’d rather have at a given time. If Colvin’s hitting like he was, he sure ain’t laying off good pitches.

by Steven Schweickert on Mar 31, 2010 4:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

do I always get to choose, and that is exactly what will happen?

Because of course I’d pick a triple every time. Are you under the impression that Colvin is going to his over .400 in the regular season?

by Steven Schweickert on Mar 31, 2010 4:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

was someone actually complaining about that?

Or is that king of all strawmen arguments? Because I find it hard to believe that after he hit a triple, someone was complaining about him not walking instead.

Not you, no.

All I’m saying is if he’s got a +.400 OBP, I don’t care how often he strikes out. >_>

If a guy (like Colvin) is hitting +.400 with an equal OBP, I don’t care that he’s not drawing walks. I’m trying to use the whole triple/walk thing as a point, but I seriously thought I saw someone say that sans sarcasm tag.

Course, let’s wait till spring ends.

asking you to provide names of people you suggest think there’s nothing wrong with Colvin’s plate discipline is hardly semantic.

It IS asking for, you know, proof of you assertion. But if that’s too much for ya…

Proof of my assertion?

This isn’t physics class, I don’t have to prove my hypothesis. It’s an opinion I’ve formed after reading comments like SJS_illini’s, and others. I’m not going to go back over the vast amount of comments made on the subject just to give you some odd sense of satisfaction.

Someone missed this part of my statement, clearly.

Dude, plate discipline is fine.

And I think someone also missed the sarcasm where I made fun of the overreaction to his lack of walks. If he walks, fine, but if he’s raking, let him rake!

Radio guys just made a funny, yet mean, comment about Milton Bradley and Marlon Byrd

They mentioned that Marlon Byrd will probably be a more calming influence to the team than Bradley was.

The other guy makes the comment that the Tasmanian Devil would be a more calming influence

I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers

Haha, I don't think that's mean.

I think it’s well-deserved.
