FloatnFly

haha thats awesome, variation of a those waggle floats using the ol red and whites!

well you would sand them down, rather than turn them down on a lathe, you can also shape them using a sharp pocket knife. you can also buy corks in various diameters, you can also glue 2 or more corks together to make deeper/longer floats/tapers just an alternative to using wood and trying to shape it without a lathe

you can also try using wine corks! seal em up the same way, and they already have a taper and are easy to sand

Most likely Tolleson, they want a deep pen, its why they went with 8 relievers and Goins was the odd man out

I think that because 7'11 is legal tournament length, so companies build lines for these style of rods with the shorter tapers

I dunno, but he is pitching extremely well, not over throwing his pitches like he did in years past

Jimenez is painting corners, and hitting upper and lower zone

Yes, he is, notice he switched gloves after the first inning though

they've looked good early before, i remember them being something 26-4 for the first 30 games, and then falling quick. it all depends how the starters hold up in the second half. Norris looked good through his first and second time through the lineup, the 3rd time through, the batters had him figured out, whether that plays out into the second half where batters figure him out on the 2nd time through, remains to be seen We'll see how Sanchez handles the O's tonight!

Well even look at Dustin Mcgowan, great stuff, good poise, but the arm and shoulder injuries and then plantar faciatis (sp) in both feet, would take its toll on an otherwise promising career.

im glad hes on the Jays as an everyday 2nd baseman, although Gose is batting over .600 right now, i know its early, but still

Travis has an amazing baseball instinct, heads up player. That play yesterday in NY when they got the runner leaning too far, was a prime example. Its not a play an ordinary fielder makes

Jays are laying a beating on Baltimore pitching today!

80 years ago we were using turbines in the falls, and burning coal for hydro, coal fired plants are all but gone in favour of nuclear energy, and the turbines in the falls are no longer functioning. we are building solar fields and wind farms, but the unsightly nature, and possible health risks from them, is making is difficult to construct them

its a tilapia

haha yea no kidding

he pitched very well considering the weather wasn't ideal for a knuckleball. but yea, take a 3 run lead into the 8th, and your setup man and closer should be able to lock it down no problem Loup and Cecil dropped the ball on that one

its just ridiculous, its going hey look, Im a trained soldier, trainer to fight, trained to shot better than someone else, I fight for this country, but just not from inside its borders.......

they have a huge advantage for the first half, because no one knows anything about them. they're true test will come in the second half of the season when teams have lots of video on them mind you, still won't help them hit that wicked change up

Looks like Loup is struggling early, but lets just hope its was poor weather conditions

i never said they needed to have strong arm, but you can't have someone who can't throw, you need someone who can make a quick accurate throw

first base is your cutoff guy for a throw to the plate from centre or right and happens on a force at first and you need to throw over to third for a runner trying to advance

I can only think of one player that this happened to, Carlos Delgado but again, a players batting ability rarely has anything to do with what position they play. i mean they were scouted, drafted, and groomed to play that position. say for instance your second baseman becomes your leading HR hitter, a team isn't going to say, oh, thats not a power hitting position, so we're going to move you. try telling Cal Ripkin or Mike Piazza, who are in the top 50 of all time HR leaders, they aren't going to play SS or catcher cause they hit too many HR's

Ed Sprague was never a power hitter, and put up the same home run numbers Lawrie, with exception of 1996, where hit 36, but through his career, he 10-20 HR Pablo Sandoval, his best year he hit 25, other than that 10-20 HR seasons Wade Boggs had 2 seasons where he hit more than 10 homeruns. this idea that 3B has to be you power guy is just ludicris
