    So have they actually announced Boesch yet? Haven't seen it. I'm guessing Tim Mead told Chuck that or something?
  2. jsnpritchett
    thanks! Just started skimming it. Looks interesting. Going to read the full thing when I have a chunk of time today.

    Long is about to turn 27. Use him or let him go somewhere else. Not sure he's going to "develop" any more.
  4. jsnpritchett
    No. Just no. Why bother? He's JB Shuck redux. Or Colin Cowgill, etc. There is absolutely no reason to pick up someone like him.

    The first two responses did answer the issues raised in the initial post, but thanks.
  7. jsnpritchett
    Yes.

    It wasn't the Angels' decision. Until this year, it was an MLB guideline not to show "close" call replays on big boards.
  9. jsnpritchett
    Exactly. Sosh and Kendrick are whining about how "obvious" the call should have been, and people on here are acting like he was safe by 20 feet. It was a bang-bang play.
  10. jsnpritchett
    Wow. Close call! Could have gone either way.

    I would be willing to be a substantial amount of money that if Stewart is given significant playing time, he'll find a way to massively disappoint.
  12. jsnpritchett
    Came in here to post the same thing. Probably just an odd quirk at this point.
  13. jsnpritchett
    ...and you were better off because of that.

    Those numbers were put up while he played for the Rockies. His OPS+ (compared to league average and adjusted for park factors) from 2008-10 was 98--so slightly below average. His recent major league and minor league numbers have been atrocious--as in catastrophically awful. That, coupled with numerous instances of him pretty much just being a jackass and having a bad attitude, makes me need a lot more than a few scattered ABs before I'm onboard with him.

    Ha. Nice dive, Young! Angels definitely brought the bats today.

    How 'bout a 3-run HR here? Put it out of reach.
  17. jsnpritchett
    1-2-3 inning! A few more of those, please. Thanks.

    Have I mentioned how frustrating CJ is to watch?
  19. jsnpritchett
    And now Stewart! What's going on here?
  20. jsnpritchett
    The old man is coming through!
  21. jsnpritchett
    TROUT TROT!

    1 batter in, CJ being CJ. Get a double play, please. Holy crap: Ibanez hasn't started a game at 1st since 2005...

    Maybe this part of the rule is related to the reinterpretation, as well: "that his release of the ball is voluntary and intentional."
  24. jsnpritchett
    As I'll say for the 37th time There is NO mention of a "transfer" in the rule. Read it again. HaloFan85 and I agree that this simply comes down to a stricter reinterpretation of the "act of throwing" part of the rule. Is what most people call a "transfer" an "act of throwing?" There's at least an argument to be made for it not to be.
  25. jsnpritchett
    Ok. Doesn't seem that way for umpires, though. My point is that there now seems to be a different or in flux interpretation of what "in the act of making a throw" means. Does that mean when a fielder is "transferring" the ball from glove to hand? Does it mean when the ball is actually IN the bare hand, and some throwing motion has begun? Etc...I've heard a lot of people referring to "the transfer rule," but the rule doesn't actually refer to a transfer at all.
