Thanks for advising of that…I would have had no idea!

homer alert

first we have Adam telling us that Mendoza has a “damn good sinker”, now Newberg says this:

Joaquin Arias is going to play in playoff games before his career is done, and help someone win. I didn’t see his arm tested (he played second base yesterday, only having to make a couple routine throws) and so I’m not ready to say he’s a big leaguer in April, but he’s got that something extra that you can’t teach.

Doctor please. Some more of these.

maybe he meant Independent League playoff games. I’d possibly buy that.

Because if anyone thinks Luis Mendoza has a good sinker/two-seamer, they must just be a Rangers homer, right?

has a fantastic sinker/two seamer…when he can get it over the damn plate on a consistent basis.

Time to go get a 12 pack,

a couple of 40’s for Phillips & Garr, and enjoy USA v. Puerto Rico.

Enjoy dinner folks, remember it’s only Spring Training. No Kins, Hammy, MY, Murph, Andrus…and most importantly, no more Hawk.
