Camden Depot: Is Reynolds Going Back to Third the Best Move?
After Andrew posted his opinion on Mark Reynolds at third base, Camden Depot chimes in with some thoughts.
Orioles have some interest in Francisco Cordero - baltimoresun.com
Why would the Orioles have interest in this? I don't know, although there is a tidbit about them eating salary to get rid of Kevin Gregg. Why would any other team want him? I don't know that either.

Interesting. I didn't know what was going on.
I’ve been extremely upset with enforcement of copyrights online for about a decade now.
One day, I’m reading the news and I see that a Princeton student was sentenced to five years in prison for downloading three songs. Three. About a month later, I find out that one of my former coworkers had been murdered after over a year of anti-gay harassment from her neighbors (including rocks through windows of their house, graffiti, etc.). They were out walking when two neighbors confronted them. They fled into a field, where the neighbor beat them, then directed his wife to get his shotgun, which she did. He was sentenced to five years and served about 20 months.

Yeah. This is a very heated subject for many people for personal reasons, so I'm not going to say any more after this, but
sentencing laws can be seriously, seriously fucked up.
If he had a little crack in his pocket he'd be serving 20.

I would eat salary to get rid of Gregg...
Heck, I’d eat pretty much anything to get rid of Gregg. I’d go all Fear Factor up in this blog if it meant never having to get accustomed to his style of pitching ever again.

The Camden Depot post on Mark Reynolds is an interesting read
But Buck is just going by the projections by keeping Reynolds at 3B. His terrible D at 3rd is closure related to the average than terrible D in LF or 1B.
He also shared a theory that I have always leaned to with Reynolds.
You could suggest that his 2011 year was not indicative of his true talent level and that he will regress upward to being bad at third instead of being somewhat historically bad.
Is there a statistic or a place that tracks fielding errors as opposed to throwing errors? From what I remember about Reynolds’ 2011 was that he made some really awesome, athletic plays but then he would field a routine grounder and throw it away. I don’t know what kind of coach he needs to get his act together but maybe he should stop filling his cheeks with sunflower seeds and focus on the game for 9 innings!
sunflower seeds?
i believe he is doing the Commonwealths proud by sticking to tobacco.

Best of both Worlds.
I will never understand how guys play while chewing. Running/diving…seems like a high likelihood of swallowing some of the tobacco.
Also, it's disgusting and causes cancer, and I can't imagine it tastes good
plus I wouldn’t want to risk living for even 1 day less if I got to play baseball for a living and had millions of dollars to spend over the rest of my existence.
Basically though, I will never understand why anyone does it.

Half of my frat got into dipping for a minute in college
Weirdest fad ever. I tried it once and it was absolutely disgusting.

by Astronaut Mike Dexter on Jan 17, 2012 10:10 AM EST up reply actions
I've only dipped a few times
it tasted bad but I wouldn’t say it tasted like shit. It made me feel really good for like 15 minutes and then I felt sick to my stomach for about two hours. Same thing each time. Apparently you gotta work up to having it in your mouth for long periods of time; when you start dipping you should leave it in for a few minutes so it works its magic and then spit it out.
This is all according the previously mentioned army friend, so take it as such.
When my parents first got married, or maybe when they were still dating
They went to visit my mom’s family in west virginia and all of her cousins dipped and they tried to get my dad to do it. He’d never done it and didn’t know anything about it, and they told him he was supposed to swallow it. He was trying to impress his lady’s family, so he did. And then vomited for hours.
Yup
I laughed real hard when I was doing it once and accidentally swallowed some and puked for a real long time.
I also once did it in the 2nd game of a doubleheader after pitching the first and got so fucked up I was just laying down on my back in the bullpen. Nicotine FUCKS me up.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
gives you a buzz
nicotine is a stimulant in low doses. My friend is in the army and says Army dudes love to dip when they’re out in the field because it gives them some zip.
I guess that's a good enough reason for some
and I don’t know the feeling, so I can’t compare… just seems like I’d rather do a 5 hour energy shot or eat a chocolate bar if that was the desired effect.

I agree. I think tobacco use is a pervasive social disease.
With that said, I’m completely against all the ban smoking everywhere stuff.

Give economic incentives to kick it.

It's such a sticky issue.
People really need to just stop being sheep. Every smoker I know started because they thought it was cool, or they wanted to spend more time around people they thought were cool. Mostly in college. That’s why I called it a social disease.

My neighbors are a very nice old couple who both smoke like chimneys. The dude has an oxygen tank and still smokes. They are petitioning the neighborhood to let the city permanently reserve a parallel parking spot in front of their house.
My gf is a therapist working with addicts, and the stories she tells me are unbelievable, as in you would not believe how fucking entitled these people taking part in a free methadone program are. They don’t want to follow the clinic schedule, they want to be reimbursed for bus fare, they want “take homes” so they can go on vacation instead of showing up at the clinic, they almost stormed the doors Sunday morning so they could get their drugs and go home before the Ravens game started.

not that I'm defending tobacco use
but the “in the field” use is pertinent because a can of dip will last a while and is easy to take with you. A pinch here and a pinch there and the can lasts a few days. The average military user goes through four tins a week: pretty easy to stach those four tins in your rucksack or pockets or whatever. Better than chocolate because takes up much less space and won’t melt or deform. Better than five hour energy because a week’s worth of those tiny bottles would be bulky and not really convenient to carry around.
Plus chocolate and five hour energy have their own issues when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.
seems a little presumptuous to make a blanket assertion like that
especially when you consider the link between obesity and certain types of cancer. But then, I’m not a doctor so I can’t speak with any sort of authority on the subject so I’ll concede whatever point you were trying to make.

In 2011, Reynolds had 13 fielding, 2 catching, and 11 throwing errors at third. He had 2 fielding, 2 catching, and 1 throwing error at first.
Your cannonball trajectory, it always gave me hope
and I stand firm in my belief
that it is Reynolds’ range that did him in far more than his arm or his glove, though neither looked good.

My comment was unnecessarily sarcastic
but my personal, non-statistical opinion is that with a decent, accurate arm, he would be OK at 3rd base. Not great, but OK. I would prefer him at 1st though. I thought he did a good job there last year, and looked more comfortable than he ever did at 3rd. At 3rd, he always seemed to have that “please don’t hit it to me” look.

Unlikely to matter what I think, because the primary process is historically over before Maryland gets a say.
The prolonged ‘08 battle between Obama and Hillary was not typical by any means, as we’re seeing in this cycle with the Republicans (although the also-rans are slow getting the memo).
Just as a hypothetical thought exercise, though, I am not sure at this time. About all I know about Andrew Cuomo is he wasn’t afraid to come out in favor of gay marriage in New York. Contrast that to O’Malley on the same issue, who, in my opinion, cynically sat on his hands and let the process play out in the legislature last year, leading to its failure. Conveniently, something like a month after Cuomo showed leadership on the issue in New York, suddenly O’Malley had the stones to do so in Maryland? I have not been especially impressed with our governor.

It IS purely hypothetical, and honestly pretty silly to think about it when the 2012 elections haven't even happened yet...
But those two candidates seem to be at the forefront of any talk about 2016. The irony is that before his disgrace Eliot Spitzer would have been a very strong candidate. I think the difference is that O’Malley is really a left-leaning moderate, in the Barack Obama vein, and Cuomo is definitely more leftwing than O’Malley. That’s not going to hurt him amongst liberals, but in the general election a left-leaning moderate seems like the Democrats’ only chance at getting elected, and O’Malley wins that battle.
Now, I’m upset with O’Malley on a lot of issues, particularly his stance on environmental protection (well, okay, the plastic bag thing is pretty cool), and I would probably prefer Cuomo over O’Malley, but as you say, Maryland’s primary is usually irrelevant. Still, it’s a fun exercise, especially because it looks like McDonnell is going to run and he’s going to be very hard to beat…

There is a lot to learn about Mr. Cuomo. Start here:

Contrary to popular belief, I am not Jewish.
Well, I'm not demanding a 'purely liberal governor'. (My own personal politics are a bit eccentric)
I just think the pro-Cuomo crowd is talking up a sort of ‘wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing’.

To add to this, a fair compromise is part of fighting the fight.

I think the right has done such a good job in the tug of war, that the center has shifted dramatically right and if anybody came out actually on the left they would be viewed as a total radical.

I don't know that I agree with this
Yes, there are certainly racist elements out there (see the people at the Tea Party rallies with signs of Obama as a monkey (maybe they were taking it back…)). Ultimately, the fact of the matter is the economy is bad, a lot of people are out of work and we have record deficits. Couple that with a fairly unpopular Healthcare Mandate and a real question over whether the gov’t can force an individual to purchase something just to live (or pay fines). I think there are legitimate concerns there. Not that I agree with all of their positions and certainly disagree with their tactics. The deficits will ultimately need to be reduced, and the first step to doing them, imho is to get people back to work and start using that extra tax revenue and needing less “stimulus” and unemployment benefit spending. Then we can worry a little more about needed reforms to Medicare and Social Security. Instead, we waste time with pointless battles and nothing gets done. So maybe I do agree with you that some of them are racist, but I want to believe they are firmly in the minority, but do seem to get more attention because the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

that the average person who calls Obama a socialist doesn’t know what socialism is. A politician saying it is probably lying to mislead the public.

just started paying a little more attention to dubstep
there’s a lot of generic stuff out there, but I think it’s a pretty interesting style. Really like some of what Skrillex does… it’s kind of like the jazz fusion of pop music
I'm sure I've heard them before
But I honestly cannot place the “chugga chugga” onomatopoeia with any actual guitar riffs I can think of.

Heh,
I asked my high school facebook group about IDing our class song yesterday because I couldn’t remember. Apparently we picked some lame ass song from the St. Elmo’s Fire. I was going to write, “Well, that’s a much better choice than foghat!” but I figured nobody would get it. Squares I tell you!

Yup
I was part of the Science & Tech program, which made me one of the 10 white people in my senior class. And you’re right, our class song was most certainly go-go, not rap. I don’t know how I made that error.
I was @ Central...
due to the International Baccalaureate program, except we got the cheap version, kind of an IB in name only.
Put it to you this way, people got upset when the DJs played anything but Go-Go at any of our events. We had our prom at Martin’s in Greenbelt at the same time as a Howard County school and they basically tried to get us kicked out for noise.

Yeah, I only ever went to my prom
And I think I stayed for like an hour before I left. I didn’t have a date, which made it easier to go. But I doubted I could have heard any music I enjoyed so whatever.
Terrible.
If you’re going to pick a Bryan Adams song, go with Summer of 69.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
it was 1993. Maybe we could have done it and gone with the sign "-24!!"
One thing I did always like about Adams was the production values. Hard to find a better sounding bass/drum than Jim Vallance does it.

In giving this much thought and analysis,
I have decided that a high school class song should possess the following three qualities.
1) It should have been released during the time your class was enrolled in high school.
2) There should be some time or reflection element to the lyrics.
3) Sonically, the song should be dated to the time period of your high school years.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
not a good choice.
but great song.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
Great choice.
Your class probably didn’t realize that it’s actually a pretty depressing song though. Sort of like nobody realizes that Born in the USA isn’t a very patriotic song.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
Isn't that song about janitor types thinking back to when they had hope?

Pretty close to true.
Come to think of it, it kinda tells the tale of being an Oriole fan who can remember better times?

Our class song is World's Greatest by R. Kelly.
I know. I know.
Contrary to popular belief, I am not Jewish.
Considering the age of your class, R. will be singing THAT one in person.
When the fuck did we get ice cream???
You know, I think it has some significance
Considering Muhammad Ali is 70 today (2012) and the song was about him… yeah, no. I can’t explain that awful, awful choice.

May as well have Thrash Unreal by Against Me! for all the significance it has.

I wanted to do "You've Got a Friend in Me."
Yes, it’s really cheesy, but the Toy Story trilogy began when we were all little tykes and ended when we were in high school, and the song was there in all three movies. I personally think the Toy Story trilogy is something everyone will remember about my generation… so, eh anyway it was shot down. And now we have this shit. Meh.
Contrary to popular belief, I am not Jewish.
They turned down Toy Story in favour of R. Kelly?

I could live with that song if I was graduating HS now.

I refuse to sing/listen to World's Greatest.
I’m sorry. It has nothing to do with our high school experience.
Wait which song are you talking about?

I mean, the song's okay.
But it’s so… wrong. It bears no significance to the year or our class.

yeah, metallica and pantera are also pretty good examples
and i’m not trying to say it’s a bad thing, by the way. It’s just a sound that defines a style (like wub wub wub).
Here’s a couple metallica examples:
I'm not saying it's a bad thing either
Nor am I saying there’s not a specific sound common to lots of heavy metal songs.
I just don’t hear anything that sounds like “chugga chugga” in them.
Nothing in that sounds like "chugga" to me
There’s lots of “dun dun dun dunnn dunnn” and “waaam waaam” but no “chugga chugga”.
OK, try this
