Youtube won't allow me to post some music videos .... piss me off.

Like which one?

The Contreras brothers will both start for the NL All Star team. It will be the first time brothers have started in the game since the Alomar brothers in 1992. That will be a pretty cool moment for those two.

Like which one?

The first was: Will Smith Getting Jiggy wit it
Another is: Are you Jimmy Ray? Don't know who it's from.

Please keep your clothes on this time.

Tomorrow will be Mad Max Monday. Max Fried vs Max Scherzer. About as great a pitching matchup anyone could ask for and should be “must watch tv” if you are a fan of great pitching. These types of matchups don’t come along very often so I try to enjoy it whenever it happens.

Thank-you. And Swanson stands on 2nd as I post this w/no outs.

Austin Riley has been feasting on lefties lately!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Of course he’s in a contract year playing the best baseball of his life

And he’ll probably be wearing pinstripes next year...

He has? I haven't noticed that much.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I heard some crazy stat today about his average, OBP and HR’s vs lefties this year. It was insane!
I’m sure @VolPack22 has the stat.

According to Baseball Reference:

100 PA
84 AB
.310 BA
.410 OBP
.691 SLG
1.101 OPS
26 Hits
9 Doubles (10.7%)
1 Triple (1.2%)
7 HR (8.3%)
15 RBI
14 Walks
29 Strikeouts

20.2% of his AB against LHP have resulted in an extra base hit this season.

Or you can look at it another angle: 65.4% of his hits against LHP have resulted in an extra base hit.

Austin Riley stats whenever the game is tied this season:

110 PA
100 AB
.310 BA
.373 OBP
.640 SLG
1.013 OPS
31 Hits
4 Doubles
1 Triple
9 HR
18 RBI
8 Walks
30 Strikeouts

Really don’t understand how our #1 and #23 prospects only get the 35th pick in the draft. I understand we get more pool money but you would think a #1 prospect would command something in the range of a top 15 pick.

I just jammed to this, cruising down Kingston pike!

What a weird @$$ video!
I think I read one time, that it was originally supposed to be on the soundtrack of some cheesy vampire movie, that never got made.

After a couple of years, I've gotten to enjoy this song. I listen to it all the time now.
