Dexter Fowler Center Field of Splooge Thread

[Quality Start Machine]

So this guy has been playing some good ball lately.

Not watching the game today - why the hell was he caught stealing in front of Schwarber/Bryant/Rizzo? Please tell me it wasn't a TOOTBLAN?

When is he supposed to try to steal? That's kind of where he hits in the lineup.

I'm just as annoyed as you are though.

I guess my larger point is...he shouldn't, like ever. Unless there's some wacky situation where it's a no-brainer (like Jon Lester somehow being the opposing pitcher), the guy with the 68% career success rate should just stay put.

Not to mention the fact that his staying on first gives Schwarber a bigger hole on the right side of the infield, since the 1B has to hold him on.

It also sets up the play action

well, duh. Running always does that.

aaaand Bump.

DPD. Dexter's second half slash line: .272/.433/.478/.912 with 4 homers, 5 doubles, 1 triple, and a 21.7% BB rate (with a 20-26 K:BB). I was really worried there for awhile that I'd regret this splooge thread.

I'd have told my dad on you.

Still might.

This was an awkward reference to the post where you wondered if SKO was "wishing death" on your dad. I apologize for any offense.

Offense?  This is Desipio, right?

[Slaky]

I want Fowler back for sure.

[SKO]

I want Fowler back for sure.

I would, too, I think it's just a matter of how many years he wants. I would hope they could match the dollar amount, but I get them not wanting to commit to him till he's 34 or 35 if that's what he wants.

Bump.  Who was assigned to hate Fowler into being good?  Step it up.

Carlos Gomez or Cameron Maybin I hope.

Looked like he didn't bother running hard to first, even though he might have beat it out since the SS double-clutched. Just an all-around great effort from Dexter today.

Taking an obvious called strike three in the 9th inning of a no-hitter and then bitching about it afterward like it wasn't well within the zone. Man has he had a frustrating year.

Kinda low to take shots at a guy's effort and attitude just because of a bad month in a long and good career,  IMO. But how dare he not hit the exact same day after day, month after month. Selfish asshole. This is why I never overreact to variance.

Must have been fun spending two hours to find that vaguely similar but not-quite-on-point-unless-Jason-Hammel-has-secretly-sucked-for-half-the-season post. I always enjoy our little chats.

So it's vague and not really similar to Hammel because one guy has been bad for a month and the other was bad for two? The point is you got all high and mighty about "how dare you make  snarky comment about a player in a rough patch" and it took me two seconds once I got home from work to find you, gasp, bitching about a Cubs player performing poorly.

Have you guys ever thought about trying a nice indica?  It really calms the nerves and makes smiling and laughing much easier.  It also makes it much easier to not take yourself so seriously.  There's plenty here in Colorado.  Come visit.

Is need to get a ruling from Apex but I think SKO bounced off the mat with that pull.
