I have never heard that but it makes sense.

Billy looked terrible in both of those at bats.... Richards owns his ass right now.

And the homeplate ump was looking to toss him

And another one.

We get paid by the inning so I need to get this game tied up. No strikes. /Will Smith.

Dang only righties for the Angels tonight. Smith throws a lot of wasted pitches. Balls are fine but they need to be somewhat close to have any effect.

Look at Salvy putting his arm around Smith as they walk off like he has been there for years. That's awesome.

When did Callaspo learn to play defense?

I LOVE Salvie. Guy can hit, he's locked in at the plate, tries to make our pitchers better. When his knee gets stronger he's going to be awesome. Second coming of Sandy Alomar, Jr.

**** you Francouer, **** you

Frenchy has ZERO pop in his bat.

If we don't get anything for Frenchy in the trade market, DM will surely waive him, right? (Yes, he is DMs lovechild...)

If Smith would stop the walks, he wouldn't be half bad

Second time through the top of the Angels lineup. Things could get ugly here....

This. Physical reminder that helps keep from jamming or breaking fingers. There's also a smaller mental thing that helps them (in their head at least) get into their sprint faster. What does your body do when you take off running? Get your body lower and clinch your fists which cuts on drag (minimally) but it's your natural reaction to help go as fast as possible. Already having your fists closed is like a small way of "taking a lead." Being prepared to run. It probably doesn't really help much but it's more of a good habit/muscle memory/fundamentals thing... if that makes sense.
