Reversing our mojo worked! We're so sexy. Marvel at our ability to predict further problems with Milton Bradley in this week's podcast. Also, we talk about Casey Kotchman, Doug Fister and Brandon League. Also, other stuff probably; I already forgot.

Fixed!
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Sure is crackly in the beginning
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
God I love that song
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
Where did you get it?
RunningFool - April 21, 2010
It's the Skype call song
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
It the song that results from juxtaposing the dead sea scrolls onto a musical staff
and charting the contradictions
Matthew - April 21, 2010
I find this very hard to believe
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
What if I told you that I have a license to kill?
Matthew - April 21, 2010
B'lee dat
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Oh yeah
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
Boy is there egg on my face
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
I'm pretty sure that's the skype call tone.

What's funny is that I found myself agreeing with you about Jose Lopez
and I looked it up and saw Jose Lopez has a 26% LD rate. I think I remember 1 of these. When did these line drives happen?

Mariner 3B lining into outs has got to be the Curse of Jim Presley.
Two Rs and Two Ls - April 21, 2010
Hearing you talk about the depth of our back of rotation pitchers makes me think that if Fister or Vargas continues having nice stat lines
we could think about trading one of them for something shiny a la Jarrod Washburn
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
In other news, MOVE OVER ROYALS...there's a new Stupidest Team In Baseball.
The Cubs have just announced that they’re moving Carlos Zambrano to the bullpen once Ted Lilly comes off the DL…So that Carlos Silva can remain in the rotation.
Ponder that for a moment.
esoteric - April 21, 2010
So now you've ruined your relationship with your very good young pitcher. What the hell do you do when Silva blows up?
Wow, I used to think Lou was a good manager.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Thanks for the shoutout Jeff!
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Thanks for the video!

Does anyone else notice that Brandon League holds the ball in a forkball grip-
When receiving the signs from the plate? I watched him do this between almost every pitch in a recent game. So, it’s not like he’s not at least thinking about his fork.
sigalert - April 21, 2010
Many pitchers bring the ball into the mitt in their offspeed grip.
The reason behind it is that hitters found it easier to see the muscle twitch when a guy went from a fastball grip to an offspeed grip in their mitt. Apparently it is harder to see when they go the other way when their hand is in the mitt. The first pitcher I remember talking about it was Roger Clemens in the late 80’s. He always went to his mitt with a forkball grip.
Sec 108 - April 22, 2010
I still can't tell who is who
JBell523 - April 21, 2010
I always speak first.
Our voices sound nothing alike.
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Yeah, I don't get this
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
I'm a new listener
Good stuff. But I don’t see the whole Fister/Snell thing.
JBell523 - April 21, 2010
DAMMIT
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
I can sort of see it from certain camera angles shot from the side of the mound.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
I can sort of see it if I close my eyes.
Then they look identical.
CapSea - April 21, 2010
Jeff usually talks faster
Matthew is a bit of a stammerer.
At least that’s how I can tell.
Benne - April 21, 2010
Pauses and repeating myself are my way of avoiding "um" and "uh"
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Matthew not being able to pronounce Toews or McLouth is how I tell.
Thankfully they’re mentioned every podcast.

Jeff never spits and Matthew's voice is soothing
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Like chocolate rain
Matthew - April 21, 2010
The trick I use to tell them apart is that they sound nothing alike.
CapSea - April 21, 2010
Awesome stuff
I’m still rooting for Morrow, and really, all of those players who were the only bright spots of the down years (Choo, Jones, etc). I wonder if the reason people are so enamored with him is because they had to become attached to something. Also, that Yankee game doesn’t hurt.
KAJI - April 21, 2010
Bradley has a lazy eye.
I’m just wondering if Bradley has some kind of depth perception issues with his eyesight. I know his left eye is lazy often times, kind of like Edgar had. In the field it seems like he doesn’t have a great idea of where the ball is until it gets close. And sometimes he sprints out of the box on shallow fly balls, like he thinks it’s going to drop in but it’s obvious it will not. People say he sprints out of frustration, but I think he could possibly have vision problems and doesn’t get a good idea where the ball is going to land. I’m not sure, but has anyone noticed this? Does he have any history?

After listening
I had to look up Bean Stringfellow. His real first name is Thornton. Thornton “Bean” Stringfellow. Here is the homepage of the agency, if anyone cares http://proformancesport.com/inside.html
jeterc9 - April 21, 2010
Also found this image during his playing days
jeterc9 - April 21, 2010
My first thought was Stringfellow Hawk from Airwolf.
My second thought was that someone is going to make fun of me for watching a show shot well before I was born.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
I haven't listened yet but I assume that when you talked about League you stole my "pump and dump" idea
