Picked it up from Pops, not exactly sure where he got it from. The affinity for the Blue makes a bit more sense since he’s a Brooklynite originally.

is this new or something

why are people surprised?

No one is surprised, just irritated that our weak hitting catcher also can’t throw. Or block fastballs in the dirt right in front of him.

Broxton is doing his job. If the worse that Pujols got was a walk, big deal. It was the aftermath that was the problem. Martin had no business throwing that ball.

So it looked like Pujols would be safe easily at 2nd? Pathetic on both ends.
