  1. Where did you come up with the bolded?

     

    I happen to know one coach on the staff fairly well. Won’t say we’re big buddies but we do speak on a semi regular basis and golf a little.

    I am not saying that he has to get their permission for batting order, etc. but he does have to run starting lineup and defensive shifts by analytics as do a lot of managers. With all the science involved in the game now, it’s not as simple as filling out a card

  2. For all of those that complain about the lineup and who is playing and who isn’t, you do realize that he has to run this past management and the analytics department every night correct? He doesn’t have the clout not too.

    Winker is not a LF, he’s barely an outfielder. Too S..L...O..W.. listen to Brantley cringe when he doesn’t get to a ball. Not saying don’t play him, just not in left. And Ervin has been caught loafing 3 or 4 times already, surprised he’s up still.

    Not a Price fan by any means. Matter of fact it’s time to change it up just for change sake. Stands will be empty this summer. But anyone who says he’s been dealt a fair shake, especially this year with a continued short bench, is fooling themselves. This mess goes back to being small market and to Mr. Jocketty

  3. Pickles... whoever thought of that concoction and then felt it tasted good?

     

    Raw tomatoes.... just ugh

     

    Asparagus... doesn't matter what you do to it.... just nasty

     

    Onions. Except cooked, like really cooked. And don't slip them into my Skyline dip because the little crunchy things are nasty.

     

    Sauerkraut.. enough said

     

    Tea...just makes me gag.

     

    Coffee...love the smell and opposite the taste.

     

    If I had no one around me and could eat an onion raw, I’d love it!!

  4. He's 42 and won the title in 2016. Is there a history of drivers performing well into their 40s?

     

    Generally most do well in late 20’s and throughout their 30’s. Like almost all sports todays drivers are in better shape and more physically fit than drivers from previous eras. With money in sport being what it is today, I don’t see anyone winning 7 championships ever again- Jimmie might win another- because these guys are set financially so early.

    I will say that I have no doubt that Dale Sr would have won championship the year he passed. He finished 2nd year before well into his 40’s and Harvick finished the year 7th without Daytona points and with a car set up for Dale. Even won race or two.

  5. Bristol weekend, always tell my non racing friends if you watch one race a year, watch the short track madness at Bristol. Hard to pick a winner in this one.

     

    Not what it used to be and you can see that on the track and even more in stands. My last year there was probably 2009. It was packed. I still can’t believe it when I see the stands for the spring race.

    I watched a bit today and saw Harvick interview during rain delay. When they asked him if track was getting back to what it was when he coming into NASCAR, he smirked and said “not the track of my early era”. In other words, it stinks compared to then.

  6. If you want to hear an incredible number, think about this. This is a JV tourney which has gotten little to no pub and has raised over $100,000 in 5 years. That’s amazing.

    I hope this is ok to do here but you can go on their website and purchase raffle items to benefit the fundraiser. Great stuff. Drew's Puzzle Piece –. Not a great forecast for Saturday so I know Coach is counting on the raffle.

    Hope they get it in because on a baseball side, CCH is playing well right now and was looking forward to seeing Ryle, Birds and Tigers for first time.

  7. Votto strikes out again with two on and two out. No HR and no RBI's so far. I know he struggles in April but WHY?? Pete Rose could hit in April.

     

    It’s rumored that Pete may have had a better supporting cast around him for what’s it worth. Some guys start off cold and get better as year goes on, some cool down and wear out.

     

    I will say that Perazza and Hamilton better hit in next few weeks or time to be done with it.
