Did you learn a new word this week, Ace?

No, I just think he likes to imagine me in old timey photos.  Or were you talking about contrarianism?

Vintage contrarianism.

Because I’d rather be critical of those who fail? Come on now.

it's Maddon, 80% of the shit he does does not make sense.

Yuuuuuup. Instead, we have Maddon who is like the blackjack player that just keeps doubling his bet thinking, surely I will win at some point, only to realize that there is a table limit.

Just now, HeavenlyHalos said:

80% of the time it works 0% of the time. 

Ha ha.

Not laughing with you morons, btw.

I find it ironic that people are implying it takes courage on AW to criticize Maddon.

Of course that person was Jason, so…

Since Jason will be confused, it’s ironic because this place is a nonstop circle jerk of anti-Maddonism.  Trout has diarrhea? Maddon mad him eat old hummus.  Loup blows a lead? Maddon told him to do it in a backwards, reverse psychology ploy.  Suzuki has a stroke? Maddon says brilliant Kurt, they’ll never see it coming.

Some of you dipshits were doing your whiny bitch thing about Duffy batting cleanup.

He went to Cal State Fullerton. 

Not funny.  Mods?

This bullpen has been so shitty lately that you know it’s gonna go through a monthlong dominant period.  Of course the starters and offense will suck then but they’ll be shutting people down!

Can we get a Suzuki update?

I doubt they have a baseball team.

I hear University College is a good school.  I tried to get in there after I graduated from Senior High High School, but I couldn't get in because I had bad grades in Junior High Middle School. 

Dammit!

Not that it's going to make any difference but 2 years as catcher in University College.

An experienced catcher will tell you to put your chin down on a ball in the dirt. Let the mask do its work.

But when you're a beginner it's not easy to do because your instinct reaction is to turn your head or pull your head back. Instinct is to hide from the ball, not fall into it.

And most of the time you learn the hard way by getting clocked in the ear by turning your head or getting clocked by a ball to the chin or throat when you look up.

“University College”? Sounds like what an alien would say.

Just now, nothing, Nothing said:

the trainer is the guy with the glasses right?  if so just saw him back in the dugout , that has to be a good sign yea? 

Did he look like Darin Erstad covered in frosting?

Duffy looks like Christian Bale’s little brother.

I was a catcher in t-ball!

Yeah, but at least you're funny.

I don’t think he is.

Just now, failos said:

What the hell are you even babbling about? Just log out for the day, you're drunk.

I’ve done that too!

Just now, tdawg87 said:

You should probably stop before you get banned. You're not only being an idiot, you're being incredibly insensitive.

I know about being both those things and it’s true, you will get banned.

Just now, Stradling said:

I’m guessing they showed some replays?

Not after it became clear he was in bad shape.

Just now, Stradling said:

I missed it as I was getting a beer. 

Well something is seriously wrong with Suzuki.

Just now, jsnpritchett said:

 

Cals, I saw it more like you. 

Let’s hope we’re wrong 

1 minute ago, jsnpritchett said:

Yeah, I'm genuinely confused.  I wonder if something happened to him (dizziness, etc.) before the pitch was thrown and that's what caused him to miss the catch?  It really didn't look that serious.

That’s what I said it looked like he had a stroke.  I was serious.

He looked like he started to slump over before he got hit with the warm up pitch.

I think Suzuki had a stroke

Just now, jsnpritchett said:

How'd that work out for you?

Not well so far but I still have hope.
