Lol

Glasscock not only had a hilarious name, he had a great nickname -- Pebbly Jack. Plus he was a pretty good hitter. In 1887, he made 73 errors at SS but didn't lead the league in most errors and had the third highest fielding pct. in the league and the best range factor.

Baseball was a funny game back then.

You try fielding a tobacco covered ball with your bare hands while Count Senserderfer is about to spike you at second base!!1

lol. omg.

I remembered that name for its ridiculousness and am impressed to see he's even too old for 1887. He was 40 by that point and never actually played in MLB. I also spelled his name slightly wrong.

two free tickets to tonights game. youll have to sit next to me and a friend. sec 110. any takers?

I heard Wheels talking about Dom's knee and hamstring issues and I hope that's the cause for what i'm about to say. Does anybody see Dom as slow? I thought a former NCAA Div I WR prospect would be faster. On the play the other night where he slid head first into home, I watched him lumber around the bases. He has baserunning issues as he takes enormous turns around the bags (especially 3rd) but he just seemed slow.

I still love me sum Dom but what's the deal?

He went first to home. Probably tires by the end of that.

His knee is still bothering him as well

Partly his knee, partly that he takes bad angles on the basepaths. I think he's also just one of those guys that looks like he's moving slower than he actually is (Abreu).

Please! Abreu is slow, lazy, too latino and afraid of walls. Don't ever lump Dom in with that garbage again!

I'm really optimistic for 2013.

yeah I wouldn't say he's fast but it wouldn't surprise me if the actual time around the bases is quicker than you think it is by watching him.
