Can confirm: Baseball Reference lists him at 6'5", 250lbs, for a BMI of 29.6.
God damn, Joe Maddon is brilliant with that pick off play. Right down to the glove change.

He may wish he held on to that though.
The Dodgers are so screwed going forward.

They're probably going to have to start Brock Stewart in game one or two the next round.  He started the season in Single A ball.
cleveland's team name (and especially the cap) is so offensive, yet it doesn't get the play that washington redskins does.  I guess neither will change any time in the near future. And that's too bad.

I'm sorry what is offensive about being called "Cleveland Indians"?

Cleveland has bigger problems to focus on  than a bunch of over educated white liberals complaining about a team name.

Over in Mumbai, there's a bunch of government workers on a Bollywood message board arguing over the offensiveness of the "Bombay Native Americans" cricket team name.

Well, the Canadians think so.
^I still don't get it.. I mean unless you think "indians" is an insult or bad word- which I don't cause I think its something to be proud of- I don't see the problem…. Its not like they are called "Cleveland Indians Suck"


wow what a clutch home run by Montero…
Dave Roberts was bold and made the right call. Stupid Joe Blanton threw and 0-2 pitch across the plate.

Few things piss me off more than a hittable 0-2 pitch.
