OT - Angel Hernandez

[hometown frog]

It's not where you catch it that matters.

(Since it’s Tech Week) Is that in reference to Raider Rash or baseball.

Video's too short

Both of those guys suck. Then there was Eric Gregg who was just flat out incompetent.

MLB has become chock full of incompetents over the past decade or so. Joe West is one of the worst.

I think I had In &Out once in SoCal. Can’t imagine anything better than Double Meat What-a-Burger. I go with take out and Brookshires BBQ chips and a Coke

Amazingly, Brookshire's chips (especially their potato chips with ridges) are just about the best-tasting chips I've ever encountered. I miss 'em 'way out West...

You are most correct about the ridges, Sir. The plain just don’t compare.

Anyone who thinks In&Out is better than Whataburger has been living in California for too long.

My favorite all time umpire chant...Get off Your Knees, Your Blowing The Game!!!

A friend once got us front row seats behind home plate to a Rangers game at the old Arlington Stadium. We arrived early. The ump walked by and I said "Use your good eye tonight!" He was not amused.
My friend: "You're going to get us kicked out of the stadium before the game starts!"
He didn't kick us out but I shut up.

I find Whataburger to be far better personally. That being said, I can see how some people like In N Out better only because they are so different. My main issue with In N Out is they have the most god awful french fries on earth.

I agree. I like In N Out once in a while. But liking it over Whataburger is like preferring Albertson’s over HEB. It’s got damn un-Texan.

Fair strike zone so far

Lol

More flavor per square inch. It’s science.

I'm surprised a manager hasn't put a game under protest when the lineup cards are exchanged when Angel is behind the plate.

He was pretty good behind the plate last night. My only complaint was his strike 3 call on Benintendi with the bases loaded. That was not a strike.

It was right there though and the umpires don’t get the benefit of the K-Zone like we do.

I like the K-Zone, mostly just cause it causes me to realize what a good job the umps are generally doing, but it also causes fans to forget that a strike can be slightly off the plate and then they get all up in arms when a strike is called that isn’t technically a strike according to the K-Zone.

Part of the art of pitching is getting that call right off the plate.
