The A's with Milton Bradley
made it to the ALCS in 2006.
The Dodgers meanwhile have made it to the NLCS twice with Ethier… and Manny.

gotta jump in on the end of the TX conversation,
considering I live in Texas now…
It’s really not that bad. The tail end of the summer was obnoxiously hot and humid, but that’s to be expected. We’ve been getting a surprising amount of rain, which gives it that Florida jungle feeling. But it’s not the hell-hole that some people might make it out to be.
And apparently Austin is awesome. I was there twice last week but just at UT’s library and at a movie theatre, so I haven’t had the chance to explore yet.

well he swung
and accidentally hit the ball so it was in play. if you check your swing, and don’t hit the ball, but you cross the plane of the plate then it’s a strike. if you do the same but don’t cross the plane, then it’s a ball.

the bat
either way, a short def for a checked swing is a halfway swing. like berryjo said, started to swing then stopped.

NO the player thought about swinging - started to and then decided it wasn't a good idea
or that the pitch was a ball so s/he checks or stops the swing. Problem is if it crossed the plate – it’s a strike

You know what's funny about that
in the European World Cup qualification, they first phase is over, in which the winner of each group advanced to the WC next summer. Now the 8 2nd place teams are playing in 4 matchups, with the winner of each matchup advancing. The format is a home-and-home pair of games, decided by aggregate score — so the players should be saying, “Well, we really just need to take it two games at a time!”
