JFS179 3,772 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 3 minutes ago, The Czar said: Getting shut out by Clayton Richard will cause managers to change their mind on things pretty quickly. Lefties carved up the Dodgers all year last year and Puig is one of the few Dodgers that can hit lefties, so it makes sense. I think against righties and once you have Seager and AGon back in there, Puig won't be in that spot. Both sad and stupid to see Seager on the bench today in Colorado... Seager hit better against lefties last year than Turner did, so if Roberts really wants to get Kike in there, it stinks that it's at Seager's expense. Hope this doesn't become a regular thing if a lefty is on the mound and is just a day off. Surely they're not even remotely close to platooning Corey Seager. It has to be a single day thing.

I think so as well, but Roberts is sitting his two best hitters today and hit Franklin Gutierrez in the cleanup spot against Richard the other day. He really takes this righty/lefty thing to the extreme. Maybe part of the reason they stunk last year against lefties is that you bench your best bats and run Kike Hernandez, Franklin Gutierrez, and Scott Van Slyke out there regularly. They did it a lot last year as well. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have the more talented guys in the lineup, especially in Colorado. Guys aren't usually asking for days off there.

Women can survive the cold better than men....just sayin' http://articles.latimes.com/1992-01-12/local/me-151_1_donner-party I attended a presentation on this on the Donner Party. More than a few studies that back this up. The working theory is that blood flow is different for women to allow them to survive child birth, so they keep their core temperature longer than men, but are also more susceptible to temperature changes which is why their ideal temperature is 70-72 (or 70-71 in my wife's case). Men can adapt to more gradual temperature changes better, but in extreme cold, lose their core heat faster and die. Okay, sorry, it's the history teacher in me. Back to baseball.

Men lose their heat faster in extreme cold as a result. Also part of the irony. Knowing stupid s--- like this is why my sister makes fun of me and calls me Cliff Clavin.

The Czar 1,454 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Did Polanco play in WBC? Seems like a lot of my WBC guys are getting off to awful starts this year like Cruz, Altuve, Bautista, etc. They ramped it up and then cooled it down for two weeks before the season started. Just wondering if that is having any impact on cold starts for some guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Sac-fly will only count on a run scored because they got the desired result of scoring the run. In the case of a foul out or fly out, the hitter's intent was not to move the runner over, but to get a hit, so it isn't a sac fly and counts as an at-bat if a run did not score. If it was a bunt, that is different because the hitter's intent was solely to move the runner over. In this case, it was to get a hit, so no sac fly. Link to post Share on other sites
