I'll volunteer to go with you, but do I have to bring my own weapons?

Pick them up in that time period, there is no shortage of ammo.

Interesting that he’s still plugging away playing ball.  Good for him I guess.

Just looked up the roster, former Angel great Brandon Phillips is also on the team

... and a part owner of the franchise to boot!  

Former Dodger Tony Cingrani is the closer.  Kind of an interesting squad, for Indie ball...

True, we really don't know much of anything about matters like this... but it's so much more fun to shit on Dipoto, ain't it?

Always.

 

 

 

 

 

Always.

Fixed it.  

(except, it's not fixable.  I've heard sacrificing Dipoto's nuts over a hot fire (whilst still attached to the owner) could fix it.  I'm skeptical, but willing to give it a chance.)

 

You must first accept the challenge of accessing Dipoto’s nuts from the mouth of Servais.

Meh, his Baldoquin move stands alone in its excretory glory even without factoring in Vlad Jr.  

Baldoquin's slash line at Las Tunas (Cuban league) the year before we signed him .279/.372/.324 - the mystery is what Dipoto saw in him to make him think "whoo!  I've found Kong!"

 

Dave Kingman?

Not sure if you were asking - but if you were, the setup for the movie "The Scout" had Albert Finney scouting local baseball teams in the remote backwaters of Mexico as a punishment for bad signings, when he discovers a player who's basically a cross between Sidd Finch and Roy Hobbs - and Finney's line was something like "I've found him!  I've found Kong!" (as in King Kong)

The setup was kind of funny, but after the first 20 minutes, the movie crashes and burns with a maudlin middle and a terrible ending (apparently Brooks re-wrote the ending but the studio forced a "happy" ending)

Well, not sure *I* am (glad)

But yes, Ohtani is the real life "Steve Nebraska" - who, to be honest, as much as I love having Trout on this team, Ohtani's the guy I stop to watch because I want to see what he's gonna do next

Lol.... it wasnt that bad of a movie

But then again i liked iron eagle 1, and 2. 

But yeah. Ohtani is crazy. Its hard to imagine someone being more interesting to watch than trout.... and here we are

Well, nah, not that bad - but the ending made me feel dumb for having watched it - just kind of disappointed they took what looked like a promising concept and steered it into the ditch. 

Of course, any minute now, we're gonna start hearing about how we're wasting his best years and should trade him to the Yankees or the Phillies or ...

Yeah... lol.... it was a pretty crappy movie.

But I have a soft spot for dumb 90s comedies. If I ever watched it again id probably think it was a lot worse than I remember it now

 

And ohtani, IMO, should be the window now, not Trout. Makes more sense to hope for Trout getting a ring as an old dude, than trying now with our pitching....

Yup.  What that means in practical terms, I'm not sure - except we can't be stampeded into selling out for a 1 year run at the ring that'll take 10 years to recover from, just to try and win in the Trout window.  

Have seen that movie ...

And I think I’m weird (btw I agree).
