So Marwin Gonzalez is hitting .246/.352/.672 which is ridiculous (and that ISO is unsustainable)

But it turns out his BABIP is .179

e: Yes, I realize he only has 73 PA

Eight of his fifteen hits are dingers, that'll tear down the BABIP a bit.

You know, I'm not a religious man. But watching Curt Schilling make that argument makes me think again, because clearly a higher power looked at Curt before sending him out into the world and said "Well, I REALLY short-changed him in the mental department, maybe make him an All-Star pitcher, that oughta even things out".

Still didn't help him manage money, but he at least he throws a nice splitter.

Yes, the Boston Red Sox are extremely likely to publicly release a video of a Boston Red Sox fan racially slurring a Boston Red Sox opponent in the home of the Boston Red Sox, for purposes of publicly shaming a Boston Red Sox legend

This is pretty fantastic...he's...really good. Also the "about me" thing is great:

quote:

While attending USC in Los Angeles for three years �83-�85 on a baseball scholarship,I majored in photojournalism.At that time,I got hands-on experience in the art and craft of photography,shooting for the �Daily Trojan�,our college newspaper,and a small rock n� roll magazine in Los Angeles. While baseball became my occupation for over two decades, photography remained my great passion.

Beginning with my first summer vacation in 26 years in 2010,I shot motorsports,concerts,people & places. I�ve been privileged to take seven USO tours to visit our men and women who serve our Country. Iraq, Kuwait, Okinawa, Cuba, South Korea, Italy, Afghanistan, Africa and Germany (God Bless Our Troops!). I�ve also been a contributing photographer for major media outlets with many photos featured in Stars And Strips Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, Spin Magazine, Metal Hammer Magazine, Score Baseball Card Company, AOL Online. Also have been on the road with several friends working to capture moments on stage to have them used in Tour Programs, Posters, T-shirts, Books, CD booklets and band Web-Sites.

As much as I enjoyed the thrill of pitching a perfect game and winning a World Series, I get similar satisfaction from using my photography skills to try and capture that defining moment in time.

The ride has been great,but is far from done. I look forward to seeing places I�ve never visited and shooting things I�ve never seen. Always shooting with my Good-Eye closed.

yeah yeah yeah baseball but on the other hand PHOTOGRAPHY

turns out his hall of fame career was just a distraction

Randy Johnson may have pitched a perfect game but he has a bigger claim to fame that had only happened two other times: killing a living being with a pitch.

I've got a MLB.tv Premium subscription, so I should have access to it. It just looks like a loading screen that never actually loads when I try to see box scores or play-by-play.
