Top of the ninth in Baltimore with Cleveland behind a run and one out. Perfect moment to bring up a good question:

When you're at a bar watching a close game between two teams you have no attachment to, do you generally cheer for pitching or hitting?

I gravitate towards pitching.

You have to, right? Watching a guy work through something like that in front of God and everybody is really something.

Up one, nobody on, one out?

Hitting.

Stats say the pitcher will get the batter out 70'ish% of the time. Boring.

Actually nevermind. Pitching. Because if one run scores we have the potential for extra innings which I'm generally not a fan of.

the .215 average was killing me weekly. I finally pulled him and told myself keep him on the bench till he gets above .225.
3 homers, and 7 RBIs over the last month, the Batting Avg has been in the .210 to .220 range. You don't get much colder than that.

You raise a very valid point, but I don't think they expected Yahoo to pick the illiterate ramblings of an internet punster of all things to be on the main page.

Checkmarks are handed out for a lot less than this Skitch, you are now a baseball media figure.

It was in 2015, so I'd already played with David for, I don't know, nine years, and I hit right in front of him for nine years. I was kind of struggling at the plate. We go on deck - we're playing the Indians at home - and the umpire went to go pee, so the catcher blocked the ball and the ball kind of rolled over, and the catcher comes over to me and goes, 'Hey, what's up, Dustin?' I go, 'Hey, what's up, man?' David walks over and goes, 'What the fuck did he call you?' I go, 'What?' He goes, 'What'd he call you?' I said, 'Dustin.' He goes, 'Well, why'd he call you that?' I go, 'That's my fucking name.' He goes, 'Oh, is that right?' I'm like, 'Yeah, bro. I've played 1,600 games with you. They've actually said it 5,000 fucking times. Now batting, number 15, Dustin Pedroia. And he goes, 'I thought it was Pee-Wee.' So now the umpire - this is dead serious - now the umpire comes back and I go - I'm standing there; I haven't gotten a hit in a week - and I'm looking at him, I go, 'You thought my parents would name me fucking Pee-Wee? And he's just looking at me; we're having a conversation. The umpire's yelling at me. The catcher's laughing because he can hear, kind of, what he's saying, which is, I don't know. That's my favourite.
