Assuming those clips are chronological, it kinda looks like he was sailing a bunch of throws for whatever reason and then started to compensate by throwing lower, which results in a lot of slow bounces to 1B that either don't get or just barely get the runner.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:Knoblauchesque God, remember that? What a time. The man went from Rookie of the Year, to winning four rings and making four All-Star games, to a guy who literally could not throw the ball to first base. How does this happen? How could a man reconcile his own skills being brought so low with the love of a decent God? Probably kept him out of the Hall of Fame, too. 44 WAR in eleven seasons, cut short because he lost the ability to throw a ball.

Smiling serenely to myself as John Mozeliak says this, as if the remaining SP FAs will be available in mid-Aprilquote:“I definitely feel (adding pitching depth) is not something that is required at this point,” Mozeliak said the morning after Gray’s injury. “If something changes, we’d have to look at it differently, but we’re not thinking we’ll have to do that at this point.”

I've played basketball my whole life and if I suddenly stopped being able to shoot in anything like a normal motion, I would be convinced I had a brain tumor. edit: I guess I can understand if you're a pitcher, because every part of your delivery has to be precisely crafted. but throwing the ball to first base is not hard mdemone fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Mar 9, 2024 |

bawfuls posted:poor Gavin Lux looked so bad at short so far in the spring that Mookie is now the "permanent, for now" shortstop with Lux at 2B They should have just made Lux the 2B from the get-go. Dude has Glayber syndrome. But also the Dodgers have kinda let their infield become a total mess without a clear way out of it over the last couple seasons.

It’s definitely the yips with Lux, he also looks shaken at 2B now. Last year he was gearing up to go into the season as the starting shortstop which was always considered a stretch of his defensive ability, then he suffered that ACL tear in spring training and had to sit a whole season. The pressure now is immense im sure.

They probably should have retained one of the two all star shortstops they employed in recent years but here we are

They're not worried!" headlines from MLB writers but...they should have been very worried?! They have Freeman, who is obviously elite, but everybody else is defensively challenged and probably playing out of position now.

Muncy is good enough at 3B but they do kinda need Rojas’ glove to anchor that infield in the middle

Stanek is a solid pickup Mariner fans. As long as he's your third or second best reliever you'll love him. If he's your closer he will drive you up the wall.

News: Went to the Savanna Banana's game at MinuteMaid last night Views: It was loving awesome and well worth the ticket price. Rodger Clemens and Roy Oswalt came in to pitch in separate innings as surprise players and I'm pretty sure Josh Riddick batted at some point. Clemens and Oswalt had me nostalgic for 2005. Also Oswalt came out like this lmfao;

This morning we were looking at tickets for the Bananas when they come through town later this summer, but they start at $210. After parking, food, and merch it’d be like $1,000 for my family to go. That’s insane.

Thats insane. Ive only seen some of that stuff in passing but I would in no way pay more to go to that than, like, a real game What does like Harlem Globetrotters cost? I kinda file all that stuff together in show-sports and value it way less than the genuine article.

Globetrotters are coming by later in the month and just getting in the door is $30, but for courtside or VIP experience they are $200+ considering it is Ticketmaster (so those $30s are probably closer to $50). They also do two games a day, so they are playing an insane number of games compared to the Bananas. For as packed as their schedule is, somebody must be raking.
