These umpires are getting atrevido.

[Big Z]

Sounds like he said "just shut your face" instead of "just shut your mouth".

Awesome nonetheless.

Josh Johnson out longer than originally expected

Umpire Fieldin Culbreth, the crew chief in Thursday night's game between the Angels and Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, has received a two-game suspension and a fine for the misapplication of Rule 3.05(b) in the top of the seventh inning, Major League Baseball announced Friday afternoon.

The other members of Culbreth's crew -- Brian O'Nora, Bill Welke and Adrian Johnson -- received fines stemming from the same sequence of events. Culbreth's two-game suspension will be served at a date to be determined by the Office of the Commissioner.

Cunningham!!!!!!!

We're inching close to JJ being deemed damaged goods.

Shelby Miller, 13 Ks, 1 hit away from a perfect game. So glad the Marlins took Chad James instead, he is heading into his 4th year of A ball afterall.

You still never ate your frog.

Glad we didn't take Mike Trout.

Good thing Jacob Turner was already taken, otherwise he'd be in our minor league system twice.

[Todd]

Not really apt. Miller was taken with the very next pick and IIRC at the time it was made known the Marlins passed on him over the marginally higher contract demands and reached to take Chad James due to signability(and he still held out, ironically).

Nope, you made that bit up.
--------------------
You also made up that he was a reach. We've been over this.

You also made up the LOOGY thing.

[Todd]

I dont think I did.

[Beef]

Oh, so in this thing where we go back and say the Marlins blew it we can only look at the very next pick?

[Bobbob1313]

I dont think I did.

If you didn't, you absolutely never cited any sources for anything you said.

Texas righthander Shelby Miller, previously believed to be signable for around MLB's bonus recommendations, is asking for $4 million.

It's the same reason like 10 other teams didn't draft him either.

Texas high schooler Shelby Miller pitched a four-hit shoutout in front of a number of scouts and Rangers President Nolan Ryan. Miller is expected to be selected within the first five picks.

and then he wanted $4 million so he fell like a rock
--------------------
Of course, this is still revisionist history because if we had drafted Miller, we wouldn't have signed him.

We never would have actually had him.
