i've been on a soapbox about that for a while,

but i mean, c’mon, now that aj has once again ceased taking walks why on earth would he stay in the 2-hole? he’s like the anti-2-hitter.

seconded. much higher obp, better trending, and still keeps the top from having three righties in a row (unless beneficial)

because he's adept at handling the bat?

ozzie has made line-up changes earlier season going with the hot bats, it would be unlikely that aj stays in the #2 slot for the remainder of the season if he continues to regress towards the mean, hopefully swish occupies the slot soon

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

Yeah. Freaking amazing.

I am a huge Batman fan (1). And 2, a former film student.
So I will tell you if a movie sucks and why, down to aesthetics. My bar was set high, and it completely met every expectation.

No spoilers. That is rude. But suffice to say – great acting, beautiful cinematography, incredible views of Chicago, a killer script, masterfully directed – you wished it didn’t have to end at 2.5 hours.

And yes, the “arrival” of the Bat-pod is so fucking cool.

And on July 18th, God said, “LET THERE BE THE DARK KNIGHT!”

speaking of frank

i have this plaque of frank, circa 1995, its a portrait, mlb issued, i think the illustrator is the one who did those donruss portraits back in the day. could that be worth anything? i just dug it out of a box. should probably hold until he makes it to the hall.

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.
