    Then again, he does have 6 strikeouts through three. Maybe he forgot and went back to the pre-2016 game plan.

    I'm not sure what your arguing against, other than your reflexive belief that every other human is stupid.

    The sequence:

    1. Pitcher announces in March that he's going to try to get more outs early in counts and save his good stuff for when he really needs it;

    2. Pitcher has 1.58 ERA through nine starts, with three complete games.

    Will he sustain a .190 BABIP or whatever it is? Of course not. But it's been interesting. In your world, even that's too far.

    Of course you were responsible for that hilarious, all-world post imagining Vin talking about the time he helped bury a hooker outside Vegas....

    Had forgotten about that, but it was definitely one to be proud of. From the vault, from September 2012, I give you the dark tale of Vin Scully, Jose Madrigas, and Angie the Hooker:

    Was this a tribute to Sager even though they're on MLB Network? Or did they lose a bet?

    Matt Harvey seems to be handling things well.

    Don't have one dog in the fight, but what happened in Pittsburgh last night was bush league to the max.
    Someone else is going to die from all the head hunting.
    Plunk someone in the leg, the ass......somewhere........Nick Ahmed wore one in the chin last night......luckily, didn't split him or anything.....hell, he even stayed in the game.

    He doesn't have a ton of at bats yet, but if Paulo Orlando is still hitting .400 when the calendar flips to June, does it start to be a thing?

    No because Daniel Murphy.

    Is this a serious question? Orlando has 69 at-bats. You could double his ABs and he still wouldn't be qualified for the batting title.
