When is Manny coming back? I still believe in the roided up wife beater.

Not sure. He probably won't be ready anyway, so he would need to spend some time with the AAA club. Fortunately, the AAA team is also the A's.

Are umpires mandated to have some sort of minimum vision standards?

Per mlb.com

Umpires must meet some basic requirements:

High school diploma or G.E.D.
Reasonable body weight
20/20 vision (with or without corrective lenses)
Good communication skills
Quick reflexes, good coordination
Some athletic ability
Required preliminary training for the job (i.e., professional umpire school)

Reasonable body weight must mean "able to get out of your front door." There have been some lard ass umps.

Yeah... something tells me these aren't heavily enforced.

Edit: ... Well, this game is dumb.

I think he is just injured. Otherwise he would be playing in extended spring training while he serves his 50 games

 

[Binx]

Minor needs a do over.

This is Manny Ramirez. He isn't going to play in extended anything.

End of May.

"Yu is our Homeboy" t-shirts.....I'll take 5!

EDIT: Why couldn't it have been Bautista to hit that homer?

 

[sangreal]

jinxed

 

[Sanjuro]

It's like I traveled back in time and told myself, I'm going to be a Nick Punto fan.

*hugs number five jersey*

 

[Binx]

fly balls are hard.

[HarryDemeanor]

KeMVP!

 

[Sanjuro]

I need a .gif of Reddick falling into the bullpen.

 

[Jubs]

Terrible.

 

[Sanjuro]

Instead, i just found this.

 

[Square Triangle]

Well at least someone in Miami is hitting.

 

[Sanjuro]

...so when is San Jose?

 

[Y2Kev]

LOL, fucking Oriole moron

 

[sangreal]

dumbass lol

 

[Malo]

Thanks for the free out orioles!

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

All according to keikaku.

 

[CygnusXS]

Terrible.

Eh, Minor just had some really bad luck out there today.

 

[Sanjuro]

There it is. :jnc

 

[CygnusXS]

Wow. See, I just. I feel bad for Minor.

 

[The Outsider]

Minor was bound to have a bad outing sooner or later.

Durbin's not helping the cause.

But 8 runs given up against the Pirates? Fuck.

 

[Branduil]

There it is. :jnc

Did he catch it?

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

David Robertson is honestly something else. His control is fucking amazing.

 

[Sanjuro]

Did he catch it?

Nah. Made contact.

 

[newjeruse]

Won my first Sport's Emmy tonight. Feels good man.

Eh. That's actually something he needs to work on, but he has been a bit better so far this year.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Eh. That's actually something he needs to work on, but he has been a bit better so far this year.

I don't know, it seems like he pitches straight to the catcher's glove more than any other pitcher right now.

 

[Sanjuro]

Won my first Sport's Emmy tonight. Feels good man.

Awesome. Need pictures!

 

[Branduil]

Is ESPN's pitchtracker wrong or did the Blue Jays just get a walk on 1 ball and 3 strikes?

 

[rando14]

Felix is just too good

 

[Malo]

Won my first Sport's Emmy tonight. Feels good man.

Congrats.

I don't know, it seems like he pitches straight to the catcher's glove more than any other pitcher right now.

His BB/9 is down to 2.70 so far, which is below his carrer 4.63, so he's doing better.

 

[GhostWriter24]

I'm turning the Knicks off in favor of Dickey's no-hit performance through 5. GO DICKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jman2050]

Eh. That's actually something he needs to work on, but he has been a bit better so far this year.

Yeah if he cuts down even partially on his career 4-5 walks per inning and maintains his strikeout rate he could have an otherworldly year.

You jerk!

 

[sangreal]

Boston trying to blow it again?

 

[Sanjuro]

I want to kill you Nick Punto. Why the fuck are you here?! WHY!?????

 

[sangreal]

hahahahahahahagh

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Boston trying to blow it again?

they are very good at it.

 

[jman2050]

Boston realizes they can do far better than blowing merely a 9 run lead?

 

[rekameohs]

What's Boston's relief ERA?

EDIT: Oh, tonight's was all charged to Buchholz. Still gotta be mega horrible

 

[MisterNugNug]

The Mariners are trying to win this. Nice.

Why Wedge....why would you call for a bunt???

Damn, Bud Norris is good.
