Are you saying adults don't share their feelings with players during games?

That guy is a hero. Half tempted to pick the White Sox and hope you guys kick my ass.

Say hi when you meet the guy in the 2nd image since that happened in Milwaukee.

Yeah sorry Dmncn, I got caught up watching Lincecum and didn't check this thread. Could play on Sunday, and maybe Saturday after I get back from the Jays game.

Zambrano with the ump in the bottom of the 3rd after being screwed on two straight batters by not getting a strikeout which lead to three runs:

Glad to see Frank's back in town.

I'll look at the schedule later on today and update the thread with where we stand.
 
First game in two weeks went pretty much how I thought. Mistakes, questionable decisions and still had a shot to win it late but lost. Got jobbed a few calls but I need to fix my decision-making ... very frustrating how I left runners on all day long.
Doytch said:
Damn Frank, pause more? First time I've ever seen someone use up the entirety of their pause time. :lol
It's called strategy. You might've missed the post where I said I spend more time positioning players for counts than any other GAFfer. I feel giving that part of the game its due diligence can save a run of two.

Yeah but what are you doing when you're at bat? I was trying to figure it out, but you weren't going to your bullpen sometimes, so all I could guess was you were checking my stamina levels.

I was. 1) I saw after 70 pitches Romero was almost gassed and changed up my approach. 2) I couldn't figure how Gregg had any stamina to go a 3rd inning, I wasn't exactly 1st pitch swinging. I figured the bombs I had hit in the 8th were proof it was false stamina.

Yeah RR Cool Jay started with less than full anyway, glad I got six out of him. And I have no idea how Gregg had so much. I checked at the start of the third inning, laughed and kept throwing 96 MPH gas. :lol

Yeah, Frankman you do pause a bit too much. It doesn't bother me when you are pitching as much, but when you do it when I'm on the mound and in a count...I would just cut back on that.

I'm not pausing to pause. I may micromanage alot but that's because i change my focus based on whatever data I find in-game. Stamina, Confidence, etc... If by some chance I DO pause and don't check a screen it's because someone is quickpitching and I'm sending a message, I'd have to go back and read my posts but usually I'll make a note of it on GAF.

I know it's not exactly pausing, but I'm just mentioning during your opponents pitch sequence it isn't the best time to do so.

Around the rest of the night, Frank & Dmncnby. Will play either cause I'm gonna be busier the rest of the week.

Msg me on PSN, I'm watching the STL/CIN game on the mlb.tv app.

Is what you're doing with the lineups indicative of the game you'll play tonight? Because i tolerated that the 1st game, I won't this one.

Good to have you back, Frankman. :lol

Nice to see ditching the league for two weeks hasn't made you bashful.

Bombeasta, sucka. Never did figure out what you were jabbering about.

Man. I don't even know if I have a shot to make the playoffs. If I don't I'm not gonna bother with this series :lol :lol
You totally should so you can eliminate Frank from the playoffs.

Can you just forefeit those 3 games to me now? Wouldn't want you to waste your time. Ya know, family obligations and all...
Bombeasta, sucka. Never did figure out what you were jabbering about.
Bumtista never should've come up, had Hill K'd 3 times in that AB. Oh well, more practice.

Hey bob, still ahead of you in loss column. Stop chirping.

I'm going to check the standings and see what I want to do lol. I know I'm close, but I don't think I can make it in even if I sweep.

Awww fuck yeah. If I sweep I might be able to make it in. Really just depends on what happens in the pete/bob series. Looks like I'm playing after all.

I'll throw my hate into the ring to sub for Jambi if he bails out.

Not for long! You are in late season Mets free fall mode.

If it matters, I would be willing to sub for anyone down the stretch. It's been over a week and a half since my last game and I could certainly use the practice.

I need one loss from Bob or two from Frank to secure a playoff spot.
