Some Guy in Virginia

Just some guy in Virginia. Baseball, hockey, email, politics. I can fold a fitted sheet, and I went to high school with your imaginary friends.

Oh dear. I read the comments.

@TalkNats I would hazard a guess that given the pitching struggles they’ve had for most of the season that both of these W/L records are at least slightly worse than average.

@troychewning @NUCLRGOLF Right? I’m a pariah among my regular golf buddies because I make myself putt out. I don’t give a shit if they take gimmes (unless there’s money involved) but they rag on me because I hole them all.

@DanKolko_ Cleveland dugout was calling for a balk on Cavalli, not pitch clock. It didn’t look to me like he came to a stop before delivering the pitch.

@troychewning I don’t know about sick, but they definitely don’t suck.

[Some Guy in Virginia @toddherr]

@JustinWDC @MarkZuckerman TV is saying he couldn’t challenge because he didn’t follow protocol. Challenges have to be initiated from the dugout, not on the field.

Some rules are dumb.

@rmnb So if I understand what you wrote about picks can only be ones belonging to the offering team, Caps could sign Robertson and still have the Ducks first round pick this year?

@garykarr @klwoodjr Okay my memory was foggy. Gio only gave up three that night, but it never felt like he had the game on lock like I felt he should’ve

[Some Guy in Virginia @toddherr]

@garykarr @klwoodjr True, but Gio Gonzalez was handed a 6-0 lead in that game and couldn’t hold it, and I don’t think he gets enough blame for that night.

@LONTDC1 The Jeremy Guthrie start in Philly maybe, but that was only the first inning, not the 12th

@spencernusbaum_ I was told the Manfred Man would prevent such nonsense

[Some Guy in Virginia @toddherr]

@federalbaseball I thought I misheard Kolko when he referred to Nunez leading the majors in stolen bases. I didn’t realize he’d been playing that much.

@UVAHooGirl Apropos of nothing, just saw this post on Threads in a thread about Stand By Me. It’s a few frames from Mad Magazine’s parody of the movie and you might appreciate them:

@YesThatBrooke @federalbaseball King just got promoted from Harrisburg to Rochester, so gotta think DFG is Harrisburg bound

[Some Guy in Virginia @toddherr]

@UVAHooGirl I get it. Take away that ending line, and the movie probably doesn’t have a cultural vice grip.

It’s those lines that give it the grip.

@WeAreAllShack I’ve decided to refer to him henceforth as “Future Former Nat Miles Mikolas” or “FFN Miles Mikolas” for short.

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough social media reach to make FFN a thing, so I’ll just have to keep it to myself.

@michael___wave Fin’s primary purpose on that show is seemingly expository dialogue for viewers not paying close attention. Count how many times each episode he starts a sentence with “So what you’re saying is…”

[Some Guy in Virginia @toddherr]

@OmarKelly Does Breer think the Browns are going to field a roster of 53 QBs?

[Some Guy in Virginia @toddherr]

@treydividends @BoxeoPats @hannahbggg You’re drastically underestimating the yardage they play

[Some Guy in Virginia @toddherr]

@WeAreAllShack Charlie and Dave mentioned that too. Must be in the media notes for today.
