A Pit thread for Asahi

Save me a seat…

Probably not the 1972 A’s. Though a whole team looking like the House of David would make me look for where the playoff hockey game is.

Anyway, while I think the armor is getting ridiculous and don’t care for the aesthetics of the sliding mitt, that doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the use of replay to call a runner out because he just barely came up off the bag at the end of the slide.

Asahi, you weren’t all bad. Some bad, certainly. Way over the top hyperbolic, a little like Der Trihs. The ‘manly man’ stuff was just ridiculous, though. Too bad you couldn’t keep a lid on the insanity.

I will miss the poster he could have been. I will absolutely not miss the poster he actually was.

Since the subject of the thread is no longer with us, I’m closing thing.
