IM conversation between me and my friend who I've known since 5 year old T-ball...
cuth23b: Goes back to my point, hitters are stupid. It's why we should have both made the majors
cuth23b: Goes back to my point, hitters are stupid. It's why we should have both made the majors
cuth23b: You as my catcher
cuth23b: Me as the lefty pitcher
cuth23b: Just outhinking everyone in the box
Ceo21: Yes, but then both of our bats would need to be in the lineup
Ceo21: Well, no, not if we went to an AL team
cuth23b: Now you're thinking
Ceo21: I don't want to play for the Yanks, though
Ceo21: can we pick a neutral team
cuth23b: Hmmm...
cuth23b: How about Anaheim
cuth23b: Nice weather
Ceo21: I like the stadium
Ceo21: traffic is horrendous, though
cuth23b: Oh
cuth23b: i know
cuth23b: Seattle
cuth23b: Great city
cuth23b: Great park
Ceo21: rain
Ceo21: Let's stick around the Bay area
Ceo21: Oakland
Ceo21: I think I'm a Billy Beane kinda guy
Ceo21: I might even lead off
cuth23b: Haha
cuth23b: From Kendall to O'Donnell
Ceo21: Kinda the same thing
Ceo21: except
Ceo21: he runs
cuth23b: I'll be replacing Zito - that's a lot of pressure
cuth23b: "Well he costs $10 million/year less"
Ceo21: How long before they put the whole infield on the right side for me
Ceo21: the opposite field shift
cuth23b: "Trust me, he literally can't turn his hips - he can't pull the ball."
Ceo21: It would be funny to see the 3rd baseman play directly behind second base.
Ceo21: I could learn to bunt...
Ceo21: every now and then, drop one down the left side... just to keep 'em honest on that side of the field
cuth23b: You could ... I could also learn to slide
cuth23b: Both are unlikely to work effectively
cuth23b: IN theory
cuth23b: They could have the shift
cuth23b: Youc ould bunt
cuth23b: And still be thrown out at first
cuth23b: haha
cuth23b: McCarver's analysis of that would be great
cuth23b: "Sweet Mother of Mercy ... I've never seen anything like it in my life."
Ceo21: "O'Donnell does not run well."
cuth23b: hahaha ... he does state the obvious better than anyone.
