June 21, 20179 yr Author Todd Frazier and Brian Dozier both look like players that shouldn't be power hitters but are.
June 21, 20179 yr Or Busenitz, which, according to Bert, is "Buzhenick." Or something. And now there's apparently an "x" in his name.
June 21, 20179 yr Smart aleck Yeah, but relative to the general population or to fellow Game Threaders?
June 21, 20179 yr I have no idea how that is possibly ruled a hit. An on target throw gets him. Why even have fielding stats? I'm kinda curious to know- if anyone does. How do advanced fielding metrics handle that?
June 21, 20179 yr And we're in the lead in spite of it.When 3/5's of the games you play are spent waiting until your two good pitchers start, and one of those pitchers gives you FIVE whole innings...
June 21, 20179 yr Where where? I always thought it was hear hear, as in an old timey vernacular for "I hear that!" In North Dakota, with its population density of 0.8 persons per square mile, it's "Here! Here!". Otherwise they'd never find each other, even when it's not a blizzard whiteout.

June 21, 20179 yr I have no idea how that is possibly ruled a hit. An on target throw gets him. Why even have fielding stats?I'm kinda curious to know- if anyone does. How do advanced fielding metrics handle that?Because making an on-target throw was very difficult in that situation.
June 21, 20179 yr Author In North Dakota, with its population density of 0.8 persons per square mile, it's "Here! Here!". Otherwise they'd never find each other, even when it's not a blizzard whiteout. Exactly!!!
June 21, 20179 yr Because making an on-target throw was very difficult in that situation.20 years ago that was an error.
June 21, 20179 yr I'm so much more interested in finding out about Busenitz than in winning this game. Here's to hoping we can do both though.
June 21, 20179 yr Author 20 years ago that was an error. If I didn't make that play at 3B in beer league softball.. I'd be upset with myself.
June 21, 20179 yr With Busenitz being a hard thrower, it's another chance for Bert to talk about pitcher velocity like an elderly Civil War veteran deriding the horseless carriage as an "infernal machine".
June 21, 20179 yr Does Boozenutz have any other pitches besides fastball with no movement?According to gameday he's thrown a handful of sliders.
June 21, 20179 yr Does Boozenutz have any other pitches besides fastball with no movement?You mean like the curve with which he got his strikeout?
June 21, 20179 yr off the Sears Tower? It is Chicago after all"Be sure and tell 'em, Large Mrs O'Leary sent ya!"
June 21, 20179 yr Author Yeah, stuff alright. His slider is tight and his fastball has late life. He could use another pitch as a change of pace but if he locates that fastball better. He could be decent.
June 21, 20179 yr With Busenitz being a hard thrower, it's another chance for Bert to talk about pitcher velocity like an elderly Civil War veteran deriding the horseless carriage as an "infernal machine".He wasn't deriding velocity. Merely deriding not being able to locate velocity. Which Busenitz is not doing.
June 21, 20179 yr Does Boozenutz have any other pitches besides fastball with no movement? He allegedly throws a changeup and a curve. When asked by a fan at a spring training game if Boozynuts' last pitch was a changeup or a curve, an Angels scout reportedly said "Yes".
June 21, 20179 yr I like this Busenitz guy. He has some stuff.He can load uo those bases like nobody's bizznutz
