4/18/15 GDT: Looks like a new starting CF / Peterson getting the LaStella treament

[Dalyn]

Let's hold off on the condolences. Far all we know, it might have been a funeral for one of Dalyn's enemies.

Dude, that is not so cool. Dal is on my Facebook and I know if he goes to something like this knowing his background, it is legit.

Oh, it's okay. I don't take anybody around here seriously. Jokes are expected. In fact, that's part of the Chop Country charm.

Never forget kids - you can't use your closer in a tie game on the road!

That call at first that effected the outcome of the game shouldn't be tolerated. He was clearly out on replay but the call stood anyway and Braves of course lose by a run in extras. If that isn't room for protesting a game I don't know what is.

If I were Fredi I'd still be going crazy about it...

I've heard it too. But it could just be one of those things players say like the cliche of "he's a good teammate". Bobby always had a rule never to publicly bash or throw a player under the bus to the media, and that's why players have always respected him and may say some over the top things to help his legacy.

Fredi to my knowledge has yet to break from that trend.

I've seen Fredi get outraged once and that was over the Holbrook call. Fredi learned from Bobby, he picked and chose what to do, and I don't think throwing himself out is one of those things. I mean how many managers leaguewide today get ejected as often as Bobby ever did? Even Torre and LaRussa didn't get thrown out or argued as much.

The whole ejection record bs got more press than the team did seems like in 2010. It didn't help the team made up those stupid t-shirts.

When you play in the pro league like I had and your coach just let things go, it effects your team. I screamed at my coach to do something, I couldn't afford absorbing another technical foul bitching at the refs, they were itching to get me after me doing the American way of doing justice, Barkley like. After about six games he got a clue to argue, not the best I admit, but it rally the troops and I did not have to do it and getting technical fouls in the process. So yes, barking at the umps and getting in their face does change the complexion. In college basketball it helps, you get make up calls and in baseball the umpire might think differently on the strike zone.

Trust me, it works and I know.

Sorry to hear, my condolences.

Likewise, mate. Blessings.

I didn't know where to ask this, so I'll just ask it here. Does anyone know if Striker42 ever came over here from Scout when a lot of us did? I noticed he still posts there, albeit rarely, but I don't recall seeing him here unless under a different username. I always liked his posts back in the day so just curious.

Yes, he did. Don't know why he doesn't post here anymore. I believe he stopped right at the end of the 2013 season.

[CyYoung31]

And as I look it up I see that his last post was indeed from 10/02/13.

By the way, there is a member list under the community tab where you can go to find out these things.

OK thanks.

Oops, I should've checked that. Thanks. :)

[CyYoung31]

It's no problem, I'm just letting you know.

[UNCBlue012]

No game day thread?

[Julio3000]

I just put one up.
