Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in
The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.

Looking at the Spring Training photos, #5 of Parrish looks like he stopped his previous grounder with his face? Or, have they been practicing headfirst slides?

Peter,
Koji talks about how these workouts and sessions are so much shorter than what he did in Japan. Does the coaching staff see this as a problem?
Have they or Koji contacted other Japanese MLB pitchers to ask about the transition?

Pete's reply: I believe they've done their homework. The other Japanese players who have come over also marvel at how short the spring workouts are, but they seem to have done okay.
