I wonder if the DJF's guide to seat stealing works in Safeco...

Here is the one for sneaking into better seats! Problem is it applies mostly to Rogers Centre due to a reference to certain staircases

Can I borrow/have some money Tom?

Niemann is a big boy
He scares me a little. Not really his pitching abilities…. just him
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
If you don't have at least 5 steals on Niemann I will feel bad for you.
He is chris young bad with baserunners.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Ugh
Not Upton.. guy has some speed.
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Damn Damn Damn

is it me or the Devils seem more determine to win this game than the blue jays
guy at 3rd with just one one and couldn’t bring him home
determined? you find a person in the world more determined to win than doc let me know.....
other than that…yeah they got a homer
I love the arm on Rios
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Oops!
My Bad.
Props to Bautista
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Well Im crossing my fingers that he thought he would review tapes between innings…
Please god please let that be the case.
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Maybe he needed to recharge his Batteries.
How were the Terminators powered? Solar energy? Or was that just the Matrix robots?

Nuclear
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
They said nuclear in the TV show
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I love Hill
Best 2nd baseman in the league!
(Had to get that in there)
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
yeah...well I think he just meant he has the best numbers at the moment...
and that he knew iwamura would be very average
Heheh I know
Like I said Zobrist is helping me out in one of my leagues. Im just being a Homer Fan, Hill is my favorite player
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Can too!
I’ll do whatever I want, In fact I just made up a new statistic! Its called HISA (Hill is super Awesome) it rates everyone in relation to Hill.
Hill is obviously a 1 and then everyone else is in relation to that
Zobrist I give a .250 **
See Hill is better, I win!
- Please note that this stat is completely arbitrary and may vary on how many drinks I may or may not have had in any given day. I retain my right to be a complete Homer Fan and make wild untrue statement such as Pujols has nothing on Hill and that Hill is a baseball god made mortal.

'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
It doesn't seem to carry for us
I missed the Crawford homer
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
He smashed it
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Nope, it's midweek
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Blame the network!

'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
TB
I know this is obvious, but looking at their lineup, and even pitching staff, this TB team is awful impressive. It’ll be real hard for the Red Sox to keep them out of 1st place, I think.
Except for their bullpen
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
true... that might be their downfall
Funny thing is that last year, their record did not reflect their run differential, but this year they have the best run differential in the AL, yet their record isn’t. Go figure! Baseball… You never know.
not seeing the games, I often wonder
if some of these “unknown” pitchers that manage to skunk the Jays are pitching particularly well, or is there something else (poor swing selection, bad luck with balls going into gloves, etc) going on? If the pitchers get the outs, I suppose that’s all that matters, but can anyone watching the game shed any light on this?
hasn't been amazing by the numbers this season
inconsistent at least. A couple of gems deep into games, but also 5 starts in which he hasn’t gotten out of the 5th. Nevertheless, that wasn’t really answering my question. I’ve never heard about him; is he pitching really well today?
Our GO/AO is fourth lowest in the majors
Do we usually struggle against flyball pitchers?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Umm
Ok I guess he was on a pitch count…
Didnt think he would be.
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
And Ugh
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
I agree
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Glitch in the Matrix?

Ahh A problem between the seat and the keyboard. Gotcha
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Come on...
This really sucks…
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Interestingly
The Red Sox and Rays are two of the three teams with a lower GO/AO ratio than us, and Doc is a GB pitcher
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Actually hit less hard than some outs
Have to hit it hard to a gap.

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Aren't basically all his homers to straightaway center?

'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Niemann must have felt like practicing his curveball
Because he can’t have been seriously trying to get Bautista out.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Both by Bautista
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Except against Bautista
which is silly, because Bautista is slugging under .300 against righties.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Awfully long single
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Poor Rod, could have had a double there but doesn't want to test the groin
Can’t say that I blame him.
Pinch Runner in (McDonald)

Who were the relievers involved when we came back from down 6 in the bottom of the 9ths two years ago?
The one where Hill lead off the inning with a walk, then won it with a walk-off walk. Are any of them still on the Rays?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
No, he only joined them last year
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Zaun grand slam
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Wouldn't you have DLed yourself?

Wow
Not much room to find foul territory there but he did

'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Warning track flies?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
15 fly outs against 8 ground outs and a K
and those 8 ground outs include 2 DPs.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Or good streaks and bad streaks
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Playing the Mets will do that
I’d wish we got to play the Mets, but they’re an NL team so we’d probably shut them out and still lose somehow.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Nice quick inning
Maybe their guy didn’t have time to warm up
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Man, this is still better than it was during the lockout...
Remember that? Even with NO hockey being played, 45 minutes of every hour was hockey news.
