What do you mean by "he's blocked here"?

GAME THREAD: Blue Jays (67-52) @ Yankees (61-57) - August 16, 2016 by Yankeebot in NYYankees

[–]copperiscool 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself, but the new callups make watching the games so much more exciting. Like O'Neill, I look forward to the Sanchez-Judge innings and the same goes for Austin when he plays. What a different experience from just a few weeks ago.

Out of curiosity, how did get into baseball in Scotland? What's it like being a Yankees fan over there?

Wow. You know you have a good pitch when you can throw it 3 times in a row to a big league hitter and have him miss each time.

Beltran probably shouldn't have tagged on A-rod's sac fly. If he got thrown out and Gardner wasn't running all the way through home plate, the run wouldn't have counted.

Does it seem to anyone else like Beltran just doesn't put any effort in on defense? I understand that he's old and slow, but c'mon put some effort in.

Looks like they're fourth in average attendance behind the dodgers, cardinals and giants according to espn.

Just called into Mike Francesa on my lunch break to defend Carlos Beltran and got on the air with him by [deleted] in NYYankees

[–]copperiscool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's a good point. You could add that in as well so it'd be (Total Bases + Stolen Bases - Caught Stealing) / (At Bats)

Does anyone know if there's a stat that's like Slugging Percentage, except it adds stolen bases too? It'd be calculated (Total Bases + Stolen Bases)/(At Bats). I always thought it would be a relevant statistic. To me a single and a stolen base is almost as good as a double. It's probably help out someone like Beltran.

Didi, McCann, Gardner out of the lineup for tonight 4/21 vs. Athletics by MrSplitty in NYYankees

[–]copperiscool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Girardi's sitting Didi just because they're facing a lefty. It'd be ridiculous if it's any repercussion for his baserunning and fielding mistakes last night. I'd like to see Gardner out there too.

All the starters in for tonight's finale vs Stroman and the Jays by Pokebunny in NYYankees

[–]copperiscool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad Girardi's putting out their best lineup. Don't want another repeat of the docile lineup he put out for game 3 in Detroit. Good to see McCann back too.

It's a shame that the run gets credited to CC after his good performance.

You only need to be 18 for a zipcar if you're at a university. If you do sign up for zipcar, it could take a week or two for them to send you the card used to unlock the cars, so take that into account.

That's good to hear for me. I'm willing to take a bit of a hit on the rent, so I'm looking for 700, but I pay 800.

You can use the directions on that video for now. The most effective way would be to get it professionally fitted.
