Uh, Rowdey Jordan is back.

[Bulldogg31]

12-for-19 (.631) since the Samford game.

 

[PineGroveBully]

I'm so glad. Not only bc he makes the team better but last year he just became one of my biggest favorites in a long time. Good for Rowdey!!!!

A man has to adjust to a new haircut. He's made that transition. The power was never in the mullet. He had it all along.

 

[Dawgcap]

Wonder what his batting average during this time would be if he was benched

 

[dickiedawg]

It's almost certainly the glasses.

 

[tired]

Was he wearing contacts? I know when I played, I had to ditch the contacts & go with the rec-specs. The ball was much bigger.

Kurt Rambis would approve this message

 

[HumpDawgy]

With Rowdey hitting again, there are NO holes in our batting lineup. I would hate to pitch against these guys.

 

[Palmettodog]

Lemonis said he tried wearing contacts so that he could wear sunglasses for day games but it's obvious he wasn't seeing the ball, so he switched back to the goggles.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

When do we move him to the 2 hole, Westburg the 3, and Allen 6 or 7?

 

[WilCoDawg]

By God, somebody get that young man some prescription sunglasses!!!

As a lifelong wearer of glasses, I can attest that prescription sunglasses sounds like a great option ... until you come to the realization that the sonuvabitches aren't wearable. The prescription will be just different enough from your everyday glasses to make them impossible to adjust to. And the "fit" will be just different enough from your everyday glasses to make them patently uncomfortable. And, because it's an extra set of 17n glasses to carry around, you won't have them when needed or you'll lose them shortly after you drop a 17n fortune on them. [/rantoff]

Glad Rowdey is hitting, but the Dude that is raking is Skelton--Damn if He hasn't become a terror.

Shmuley, I just go an buy a cheap ($50-$100) pair of Nike frames and have them put polarized Rx lenses in them. It works pretty damn well, esp for driving, fishing, golf etc. But you're right, getting drunk and breaking or losing them has been a major issue.

I like Rowdey hitting where he is. Good chance of Mangum coming up with a plus runner on the bases.

 

[Xenomorph]

All hail Luxottica and the least competitive consumer market on the globe.

He batted sixth last night, so that may not be relevant anymore. I like the idea of he and Mangum being on with Westburg's knack for finding the gap at the plate.

It really depends on your prescription as to what you can get. My place I get mine has raybans and costa. Not the same thing that a lot of ball players wear though. I’m sure they can find him something that’s a good fit. I wear prescription raybans and they fit really well.

I dunno. I’ve had a few pairs of prescription Costas that were life changing (and also bank account changing). If you can keep up with them they will serve you well. Unfortunately, had one pair claimed by Smith Lake after hanging onto them for about 4 years, another that fell out of my carry-on bag on a work trip, and another that were yanked by an ******* after I left them in a department store changing room for less than two minutes (joke was on him because he didn’t steal my eyes to go with them). I’ve since switched to RayBans with my latest pair and kept up with them so far. You definitely want to avoid them if you have a constantly changing perscription, but if your eyes are relatively steady they are awesome.

Baseball rule of thumb: You're never as good as you are when you're on fire, and you're never as bad as you are when you're in a slump.

We have a pretty decent sized body of work from both Skelton and Rowdey to know what to expect for the most part. All of the calling for Rowdey to be benched was stupid for this very reason, and likewise, I wouldn't overreact from a Skelton hot streak either.

Yep, absolutely true. And the situation is even worse if your glasses are progressives. I got new glasses a year ago and still have to play golf in my old ones. Perspectives are totally different with the new ones.
