They did what?




Bob Baum of AP reports that before Thursday's game against the Marlins, Diamondbacks interim manager, Kirk Gibson brought in the Human Calculator, author and math whiz Scott Flansburg to give a surprise presentation to the team in an effort to rev up the intensity and self-confidence.

?!?!

"Smart guy, I'll say that," Diamondbacks second baseman Kelly Johnson said. "I still don't know what we learned."

This is really a mystery because in baseball you could conceivably get by just knowing single digit numbers and the "greater than" and "less than" concepts. Sure it would help to know more but you could get by with just that.

I know this and that is as a player, Kirk Gibson would have told the calculator guy to stick that thing up his......well you know.

Not getting this one.

At all.
