@Detroit_Cat@NUCLRGOLF If it improves your lie then yes. That’s one of the cardinal rules in golf. Nor can you pull out grass from behind it or if you’re near trees or bushes break any twigs or branches to give yourself more room to swing! Both things I see Amateur golfers doing on a regular basis!
@anualguy24@NUCLRGOLF Agreed, and I honestly don’t understand what rule he’s breaking. Is it just me or is his question incomplete and open to interpretation? What is the person actually implying? That he took too many practice swings? That he improved his lie by stepping behind his ball?
@RUthreteningMe@EnragedMsFan Wait!! You’re ACTUALLY saying the team should trade Naylor!? He had bad BABIP luck in the first 2w of the yr. Then he was our best hitter not named Randy for the 6 weeks after that. Ok he’s had a few bad defensive errors but Wow! Imagine this lineup w/o his bat! Utter madness
@Kingcg1990@EnragedMsFan Cal was playing through injuries before he went on the IL. Despite his slow start in the 10g leading up to his IL stint he had an .832 OPS Just when he was figuring things out 💥 IL. He’s been back what? 5-6g? Cmon man…hitting is hard. Its even harder for switch hitting C’s
@EnragedMsFan Be honest: how many fans do you think felt good about the BOS series when they saw the 3 BOS LH SP’s slated to start? Ranger Suarez has flat out owned us. Tolle and C Early are having good years. SEA is literally THE worst team in MLB facing LHP. Tbh I thought BOS would sweep us
@bigpinkgolfrep@MarinerMuse Exactly - its just baseball! Every season has its own narrative, it’s own journey. No team (minus LAD haha) is guaranteed to start a season strong just because they made a deep run the yr before. If anyone thinks otherwise well….sorry to say this but ……thats on them
@MarinerMuse Its all in our heads: this current M’s team has been like this for the past 5y: They start slow, hover around .500 for 2-3 mo’s then finish strong. They add talent at the deadline ea yr. Our Rotation is SO good when our lineup gets healthy next month you’ll laugh at your tweet
@EnragedMsFan You’re not gonna like this answer but the reason for the M’s 14 players on IL is ….”that’s just baseball.” It’s a brutal season w 162+ games after 6 wk of ST. Players these days train the entire offseason. MLB Players used to rest for at least 2-3 mo’s. King Felix esp! Haha
@EnragedMsFan Don’t forget RP’s Carlos Vargas and Cooper Crisswell. 2 Valuable RPs. Injuries happen to every team. In fact 2/3 of all teams in MLB have more players on the IL than our (14 on IL) HOU and DET ea have 23 on IL. LAA & COL @ 20! The last 2 teams we faced had 17 (BOS) and 19 (BAL)
@razorblade300 Wtf!? Studs raking the calf of the player? Too bloody right! However this might be missing some context here? Have the Algerian players been kicking lumps out of Messi until this point? They wouldn’t be the first defence to do that to him or any striker for that matter
@yodaprom@MarinerMuse Haha listed as DH! This guy is a budding Fantasy Utility Star! He has enough starts to qualify for 4 positions - 1B-2B-3B-OF he’s RH. We could def use him
The Giants started their rebuild around 2019. Basically the same time as us - glad ours has bore more fruit than theirs
@MarinerMuse The Sox do need Pitching that can stay healthy! BOS started a rebuild around the time SEA went thru their rebuild. Either they didnt see it thru or they were less committed to it. Maybe they drafted poorly? Either way- they could use some of our prospects
@JulioIsKing44 Dude!! I also Remember how it broke them out of a mini slump. I remember this like it was yesterday. I had my headphones on in my local grocery store -I sounded like a right numpty yelling out loud “Fuck YES” - shoppers turned to look at me like those 2 LAA fans Wotta game
@NUCLRGOLF That is a perfect example of “my office” each Spring! Pebble beach gets 30-40 mph winds each Spring. Now…..imagine reading putts in winds like that ⬆️ for 2 golfers who’d be ecstatic if they broke 100!? Haha
@clayconnor@BBGreatMoments If time travel was ever ‘a thing’ I’d stop to look at lottery numbers then go see a Bob Gibson start. I then go back to see Walter Johnson, R Clemente, Cy Young, Willie Mays, Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, Honuz Wagner and a healthy Lou Gehrig! Not a lot to ask
@BBGreatMoments Obviously you’d be confident with any of them but, just for the exercise here I’m flipping a coin between Bob Gibson and G Maddox. The real question for me: if the “sticky stuff” is available can I have Whitey Ford?
@Dmoney15899871@MarinerMuse Except for that time (2 wks ago) when the team went 14-3 through a 15g stretch w a sub 2.50 ERA Or the fact that today the M’s Pitching Staff still sits 5th in Team ERA. Or the fact that only 2 rotations in all of MLB have more QS ‘s- LAD and KCR. Our Staff has 31 Quality Starts
