Imagine having to explain to someone seeing Wazzu vs Oregon St in Eugene that this is not a Pac 12 Tournament game, but an NCAA Regional of a Mountain West team vs an Independent team at a Big Ten stadium.
Buck Showalter just spent 20 minutes, like last week, talking about JJ Hardy doing this every play that he saw him make in Baltimore. It’s impressive but this is nothing ground breaking. Shortstops have had elite internal clocks for a century. It’s why they play the position
My absolute favorite thing about watching Dansby Swanson play defense is he throws every ball to first with the EXACT amount of zip it needs for each play. No more, no less. It’s a level of feel for the game I’m not sure I’ve ever seen elsewhere.
@gbb70@cruzrs_ Both of those guys retired willingly and neither were pushed out. Mantle was playing for awful Yankee teams with blown out knees and Greenberg went out on his own to get into management so not sure they fall into this category. Are there any other examples? Truly interested
I think I've figured it out
While the LH example mostly fits the shape, the part that makes me think it's NOT a lefty, is the silhouette of the hand(s).
I feel like if it were a lefty, you'd see both hands, but in the logo, it looks like his shoulder is blocking his bottom hand
@Clant1015 I have such a love/hate with these types of things because, in theory, I love team specific podcasts. But then you hear a comment like that and I’m like alright…time to turn this one off for a while.
Don’t even get me started about fan base reactions😂
“I like their bullpen. I know Stanek and a couple other guys have been struggling”
You mean everyone in the bullpen not named Riley O’Brien? I can appreciate optimism but the homer mentality on some of these podcasts is exhausting
