    I haven't seen it, but I've been hearing he's looking absolutely horrible at running routes in CF this year. His defensive value per stats still appears to be good based on TOOTBLANs.

    He's very fast, and he has a cannon for an arm. Other than that he's not so special.

    And ----- anyone who regularly uses the term "tootblan". Go back to Jr High.

    If he didn’t have such a gun for a right arm, no one would know who he was.

    Based on the number of Tootblans (for Buck), I'm not sure baseball players know him yet.

    He got the no hitter. Earlier in the game, Lareaeno robbed Votto of a homer.

    Nice to know both Fiers and Verlander have the same number of no hitters.

    Hunter Pence just hit a grand slam to tie the game in the 8th at Pittsburgh. He is having a nice start to the season.

    Guy has great heart for the game. He’s great in the minors up to the AAA level, but can’t get his footing in the Major league. Glad he’ll keep playing pro ball....
