The pickoff's a little harder on the other end, eh, yadi?
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
Wonder how Coco enjoyed
having Yadi shove it up his cornhole on that flop?

Trying for the dive was the right move with crisp backing up the catch
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
So you trade a 60% chance at an out
for a similar chance of allowing the runner to second
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
I made it up
the point is that the out is worth more than the base, not the percentage
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
Especially when the advancing on the throw thing was only possible because Ryan has whells
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
Not necessarily
by diving (which is always a risky play) you allow the runner to get to 2nd which kills the DP.
and Coco has a shitty arm.
he wouldn’t have been able to do that on Ankiel no matter how fast he is.

Yeah, if they put as much weight on post-season performance
as I often hear they do, that should help him a lot: 10-2 record with a 2.23 ERA and a WS MVP.

And he has all of those postseasons
and 3,000+ career K’s aren’t too shabby. I think he was just always overshadowed by Johnson, Maddux, Martinez and Clemens.

Wow, everyone ahead of him on the K list is either a HOFer, an obvious HOF lock
or Bert Blyleven

maddux: 3.23 FIP, 3.37 K/BB, 6.09 K/9
martinez: 2.81 FIP, 4.27 K/BB, 10.16 K/9
clemens: 3.08 FIP, 2.96 K/BB, 8.55 K/9

He was overshadowed
not necessarily inferior. And Maddux’s decline phase hurt him a lot more than those other guys. martinez, too.

i hated the comment that tbs made about APvs Papi
about Papi being more to the sox than Ap is to the cards…even though he’s the best rh hitter of all time…maybe i miss understood but didnt like bucs comments
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
and it doesn't even make snese
because Ortiz being out enables them to move manny to the dh where he belongs, while Albert being out has created total chaos with our defensive alignment
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
Papi is also responsible for a larger percentage of his team's total weight
and donuts consumed

I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2

Can't blame either of our guys in those at bat.
Glaus has been pretty damn patient all year and will look at the borderline calls if he’s gotten the call before hand. Stav is swinging aggressive and took a stab at a 3-2 borderline pitch.
