This trade does not excite me, but I guess I'll just wait and SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.
That said, I'm surprised there isn't more Sam Fuld mourning from you guys.

OK A-holes. It's fixed. Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them. I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Desippy worthy post right there. Chock full of the goods and a RedBeard insult that he probably won't even understand.

Submitted. Yeah, it's late. Whatever.
Suck it.
Or, alternately, you can suck this...Quote from: J. Walter Weatherman on December 09, 2010, 11:13:03 AM
e) 5 point penalty for late picks (picks in after the start of 2011, but before the announcement of everyone else's picks sometime in January)

Has everyone seen this? My god. I laughed until I laughed harder.
Wait... Is Jack Black starring in a Munsters reboot?

I think pitching coaches do matter. Mechanics don't teach themselves. Players don't learn when/where to throw certain stuff on their own unless they're super sharp tacks, the sharpest of whom go on to be pitching coaches. I think hitting coaches are more interchangeable than pitching coaches, as most of hitting is respond/react and I don't think you can really teach that. Hitting mechanics are more about doing less in almost every case. Pitching is different, case-by-case.
Any slapdick could get his guys on a program, building up arm strength and running on the warning track. But one tiny flaw in a pitchers mechanics turn the whole fucking thing upside down. Carlos Marmol is a perfect fucking example. Pitching is fucking hard but when your arm is so live that your pitches move like Marmol's do, shit has to be precise or else fuckall.
I'm right. Don't bother to post unless to say THIS.
So where do you stand on Rothschild?
I've been a firmly established member of the meh camp since about 2002. He's had some success with some guys I didn't think were that great and he's failed with some guys that I thought had the goods. Overall the numbers are decent. If I were around him every day to see what he does and how guys react to him, I'd obviously know more and probably have a strong opinion either way. If he were gone tomorrow, I doubt we'd miss him.

I wish Dempster had gotten pulled just one inning earlier. Otherwise, it would have been a pretty good outing. That and someone needs to punch The Marmot in The Nuts.
Someone needs to punch you in the nuts, you cock-tucking, dick-nosed git.

This thread is not about pitching.
