And it makes all other mothers seem like they smoked during pregnancy.
Primey.
The Wieters Testament was declared to be heretical by the Catholic Church, due to its conflict with the doctrine that only God is perfect.
You're ####### up my Scoresheet team. Let him play already.
But then, replace 'Catholic Church' with 'Jewish Synagogues' and you have the same thing that happened to Jesus.
*One rationale I've seen for putting the breaks on a hot prospect is to ensure that he plays a goodly portion of his prime years in his pre-arb seasons. If Player A is rushed up at age 21, and plays somewhere between replacement/average as a rookie, well most teams would rather have him wait in AAA and be a rookie the next year at around an average/somewhat above average level, thus getting an extra prime season (hopefully significantly above average) several years down the line, for cheap. My take is that a young (less than 23) prospect will show an increased growth profile if he is put in the majors just as soon as he can play above replacement. So if you rush him a bit he may be at say 160 OPS+ by his prime, rather than 140 if he is held back. But I know of no study which has examined this (hint hint lurking BBPro/THT types).
i initially read this as "seeing Wieters' name makes blind men see." which i was ready to agree with in a very real sense.
after noticing the difference, i still agree with it, of course.
Wieters just declared himself pope and made all Yankee fans celibate.
I loved the top comps: Alex Gordon and Ben Grieve.
I mean, imagine the nerve of someone to compare Alex Gordon and Ben Grieve to the greatest ballplayer of our generation.
A: Kryptonite can stop Superman.
Well, Jesus was a carpenter.
According to Matt Wieters' calender, there are actually TWO Octobers.
How you dare questioning Matt Wieters' almighty powers? You're going to burn.
On steroids, greenies, without the humidor, and with his head better preserved.
Is that His jersey number?
What Ted Williams didn't realize when he asked to be frozen was that when he is revived he'll have to look at Matt Wieters' stats and say "There goes the best hitter that ever lived." He probably would've asked for cremation if he had considered that.
More like Ted Williams as a gold glove catcher who could be the best closer in the league if closers weren't overrated.
Because Stephen Strasburg? THERE's your godlike can't-miss prospect right now. And he's gonna play for the NATIONALS.
Just Matt Wieters facing off against Stephen Strasburg.
His Will be done. So sayeth the Gospel of Matt.
Oh, that's excellent.
City of Baltimore department of sewage unsure what to do in case Weiters a bust.
Said the venerable Jim Kilroy, Baltimore DPW Director, "I've got no idea if our city sewer system can take that large of a load, in case it happens. I know one thing, including all my years in WWII, I don't think I've seen as big of a turd as what were are about to see."
This might be the Matt Wieters of Matt Wieters jokes - a dead set primey if there ever was one.
On May 28th, 2006 Nick Markakis' slash stats were .209/.297/.302/.599 in 145 PAs.
I'm more than happy to be patient for Matt.
Edit: I just realized that the last slash was for OPS, not slugging. Doh!
Good thing he's a switch-hitter then.
Good thing he's a switch-hitter then.
Matt Wieters swings both ways?
I want to start a Church of Wieters now.
No thread mentioning Matt Weiters can ever be a wrong thread. Ever.
No. Both ways swing Matt Wieters. Matt Wieters swings a redwood tree trunk with three different endangered species of owl living on what would be the barrel of a normal bat.
Matt Wieters Matt Wieters: 1.) Matt Wieters, 2.) Matt Wieters, 3.) Matt Wieters, 4.) Matt Wieters.
Matt Wieters Matt Wieters Matt Wieters; Matt Wieters, Matt Wieters & Matt Wieters.
Matt Wieters Matt Wieters, Matt Wieters.
Of course, as soon as reason is replaced by the science and sayings of Matt Wieters.
Just Matt Wieters facing off against Stephen Strasburg.
Wieters is a lock for Rookie of the Year, MVP and Nobel Prize for Physics.
Only one Nobel Prize would be a disappointment. I wouldn't want to be the Nobel Prize committee explaining to Matt Wieters why some chump got the Peace Prize, especially considering that Wieters' tears bring plants sprouting from salted earth. Or they would, if Matt Wieters ever cried.
Wow, I hope this thread never ends.
Matt Wieters chopped down a cherry tree then made a bat out of it.
Matt Wieters cannot tell a lie, because He just changes reality to fit what he says.
Matt Wieters is the man behind the curtain.
The end of The Natural (the movie, not the book) is based loosely on a game Wieters had in High School.

Matt Wieters will be revealed as Indiana Jones' second son in Indy V.
Matt Wieters can talk to the animals, so don't piss him off, he'll get some Killer Bees on your ass.
And killed them.
Does he know who Benjamin Stove is? Because that #### is still driving me nuts 3 years later.
Also: Matt Wieters remembers all the names of Rickey Henderson's teammates, including the two guys who wear helmets in the field.
