The ball is juiced. Just heard him talking about holding a baseball and noticing how it felt like a rock and that he couldn't move the seams like he could in the past. He thinks MLB is juicing the ball because it can't juice the players.
Chances are, Bobby is in his final couple of years. Who are some candidates to be his successors?
Off the top of my head, the names I think of are Terry Pendleton, Brian Snitker, Glenn Hubbard and Ned Yost.
With the firing of Sam Perlazzo from the Orioles today, Leo Mazzone's status is up in the air. He left Atlanta specifically to work for his best friend since childhood. Think he'd be interested in getting his old job back?
Is it really a slump at this point or are we looking at diminishing skills? Is it possible to be this big a head case 11 years into a big league career?
Andruw Jones was a late scratch from the 2nd game of the doubleheader against the Red Sox. Prior to that, Cox had him in the lineup but had dropped him to 6th in the order.
Sounds like Wickman will assume his old job starting today.

Not really surprising news. Hopefully Wickman will once again be able to find the strike zone.
He was involved in a fatal auto accident not too far from where I live this morning. The poor guy was looking into the sun and turned in front of a dump truck.
