We shouldn’t be throwing stones–The Padres’ desert camo is probably on par with the M’s teal unis from 1995.

i completely agree about the mariners’ uniforms, but i only agreed with your assessment of the padres’ until i saw sunday’s game. desert camouflage shirts? surely there must be a better way to honor troops serving abroad. even they don’t like ugly uniforms.

Comment on Another metric hates Yuni’s defense by Brad

Richie is a big target, but he fields first terribly. He’s very much like Yuni in that too many balls elude his diving. And has no arm to speak of. His relay to the plate on Monday’s game was a joke (http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/9732/RichieThrow2.gif)
Part of the reason Miguel Cairo’s an almost palatable replacement is because he plays decent defense at first.
(Too be fair, THT puts Sexson as a middle-of-the-pack defender among AL 1Bs: http://www.hardballtimes.com/thtstats/main/index.php?view=fielding&linesToDisplay=50&orderBy=zone_rating&direction=DESC&qual_filter=1&season_filter%5B%5D=2008&league_filter%5B%5D=1&pos_filter%5B%5D=3&Submit=Submit)

1) Thou Shalt not Bunt.

2) Thou Shalt Have no Low On Base Percentages Before the Cleanup Hitter

3) Honor the three-run homer and the leadoff walk.

4) Thou shalt not steal at anything less than a 70% success rate.

5) Thou shalt make no idol of the light-hitting middle infielder.

6) Thou shalt not count to the credit of the pitcher that which is done by his fielders or by his hitters, nor charge him with their failings.

7) Thou shalt not abuse thy starting pitchers. Thou shalt make no effort to ride the hot hand, for the hot hand is but a shape in the wind.

9) Place thy faith not in veterans, when youth be available to ye.

10) Thou shalt not pass freely thy opponent’s number eight hitter, nor his cleanup hitter, nor his left-handed pinch hitter, nor any hitter that is thy opponent’s.

now you’re hitting below the belt. richie’s fielding is one of the reasons adrian and yuni look good. they just rifle it over and rely on his 6′8″ reach to pick it up. richie may be struggling at the plate, but he’s got first covered.

Emilia, that picture was taken off of the TV broadcast. Though I did know two people that went to the game.

I send text messages every time Yuni hits a double that say “Yuni Doubles”. I went way over on my phone bill last month but I didn’t care.

Comment on Yuni has more favorite things by scott

according to the diamond vision last night, clubhouse orange pasta was yuni’s favorite snack, not willie’s. willie’s tidbit was his favorite coffee drink: pumpkin spice latte. so, unless safeco screwed up and show’s willie’s fav for yuni’s at bat, then those other blogs are wrong, my friend.

at least you can admit when willie plays well.
