[Slateman]

I didn't see that. What had West just done?

I mean .... what does he normally do?

This is awesome, I wish I knew how to embed just the video of Max muttering "f'ing b...mf'ing b..." for no apparent reason

He said: "Make a f'ing pitch, mf'ing b..."

Roark was 15-10 last year.  Where does Scherzer end up this year sporting his oh so average 10-8 record?

And I screwed up...Roark is making $530K this year.  So Scherzer makes 56 times what Roark makes.  Worth it?  I think not...

Truth...

But hang on..lemme go back to just last year when you said Danny should be our starting Shortstop.

This could yield another forum classic where Slate coins another phrase that only makes sense to him (but only sometimes).

Says the guy who wants the worst player in baseball to be the starting shortstop on a contending team...

I guess you want Danny back so we can bench MAT...

If you can point to where I said that, I'm all ears.

There are plenty of references to it in the Danny thread...you should remember that, and should be able to find it without any trouble.  If I get home before you do find it, I'll be glad to pull it up.

There are references in the Danny thread to where I said that I want to get Danny Espinosa back and bench Michael Taylor?

I dont that recall that, but that was not the point...and you just said that having Danny at shortstop was better than having MAT in CF.

Moving on...thanks DPM, you are a better lip reader than me and that makes more sense than Max mf'ing the batter who he was probably going to strike out anyway

Max definitely has colorful lip language, I love it when Dusty comes out to test Max's ability to continue.

I seem to recall Matt Williams approaching him, getting halfway to the mound,  Scherzer screaming "get of my freaking mound", and Wililams doing an abrupt about face and heading back to the dugout.  Did that happen or did I dream it up?

Last year that was true.
