Zaun brings other intangibles that were missing last season.

"I've been happy with Zaun," Trembley said. "Zaun's blocked the plate twice in spring training. I don't want to compare and contrast, but you know where I'm going there. He blocked the plate twice."

It's things like this that make me like Dave Trembley

I mean, his lineups are sometimes crazy and he can’t seem to stop Melvin Mora from bunting. He won’t fire the Crow and pushes aggressive base-running that might not be such a good idea.

But when all is said and done, he’s a high character guy that demands the little things that certain players try to get out of.

attended tonight's WBC game

I felt like booing Razor every time I saw him.

Ven was already getting their asses kicked.

Felt like I was added kicking a man while he was down type of thing.

Razor actually made a pretty nifty play

Backhanded flip to nail the runner at home after a wild pitch.

i thought he was safe on that

but whatever

by pipkin on Mar 22, 2009 2:02 PM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, that too. I thought he was safe too and I was behind home plate (a bit high up, but behind home plate). I wasn’t quite sure if Ramon made to 1B before the throw on the play that he contested.

Oh, that was LUCKY ass play

The ball took a great bounce off the wall and right into Ramon’s lap.

or maybe the year prior, but Ramon was playing with the Iron Birds while rehabbing. Now maybe I am a little crazy in thinking this, but when a major league player is facing Single A short season pitching…I guess I am expecting something similar to an adult playing t-ball with 9 year olds. I saw almost every game he played there, my old man has season tickets, but I swear he had maybe one or two home runs. He didn’t even have the best Batting Average on the team. I ended up being pissed he was taking bats away from some young kid. God I hate Hernandez….

There is rarely anyone on the Ironbirds more important than rehabbing your Major League catcher.

I would consider blocking the plate a "tangible".

What Dave meant to say:

“Y’know, as sick as I am about hearing stories about his goddamn drunk uncle Demper, several things cast ZAUN in a positive light when compared to his predecessor. Namely, he’s man enough to play through a hangover from time to time and does not have to forcibly removed from the bag of doritos long enough to do his fucking job. Unlike his predecessor. Named Ramon Hernandez.”
