[operation mindcrime]

That was awesome!

[S.]

Not sure how that isn't ruled an error...but we'll take it.

[HitInAPinch]

Unreal....

 

and hope it's setting the tone for the night!

[Aggies7]

As a former pitcher,the fact that they gave that a hit is a joke

[operation mindcrime]

Good things happen when Dozier's not leading off!

[jimmer]

anyone know the single season record for fly outs to LF?

[notoriousgod71]

You should not expect a MLB player to be able to catch a routine fly ball. Good call on the homerun!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And, further, to confuse matters even more, this particular march also has a subtitle, "Land of Hope and Glory," which refers to words that were written to go with this music. So, the complete title, if you will, of this march is Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D major, "Land of Hope and Glory."

 

 

Here endeth the music lesson. For now. Unless I have something to add later. About this or something else.

Words?

 

Now that i got a tune in my head, i perhaps could use the words too. Not that i have anything against humming.

 

But i am unfamiliar with this "Land of hope and glory"...

 

Not a Phil Ochs tune either, i gather...

[jimmer]

very nice catch!

 

Then Bert has to say he's played OF incredibly. (then changes it to good?).  I buy good.

Oh that Bert......

[jimmer]

 

Oh that Bert......

Grossman has had 11 put outs and one assist with us.

Not Bert, jack Morris and Dick

[jimmer]

 

Not Bert, jack Morris and Dick

Sorry, I meant Dick.  Thanks for the correction

[gil4]

 

Probably "you don't want to turn out like your dad do you?"

Worked with my kids.  The oldest took it a bit too far - he's a Yankees fan.

[HitInAPinch]

Nice hit by Park.  Been a while ...

[jimmer]

I wonder what the Rays scouting report on Park is.  The CF was playing very, very shallow.

[Aggies7]

So the twins are giving away something stemless (wine glasses)? About time they give out something team-authentic.

[nicksaviking]

Good evening everybody.

 

Not sure if anyone noticed, but Brian Dozier is batting 3rd tonight. Just thought I'd drop that completely irreverent observation.

[Winston Smith]

10.12 (a) The official scorer shall charge an error against any fielder:

1. whose misplay (fumble, muff or wild throw) prolongs the time at bat of a batter, prolongs the presence on the bases of a runner or permits a runner to advance one or more bases,......

I know it doesn't always look like it but these are supposed to be professional baseball players, that would be an error in little league.

[Aggies7]

Good evening everybody.

I did notice. Mollie is trolling us.

Come on, Stew!

Good thing, because we were starting to fondly remember Jimbo's dissertation on the use of the word "irony."   

 

In the likely event I used or spelled dissertation incorrectly, I'm not caring in advance.

 

(For the record, I liked the comment that defended Jimbo's grammar nazi post, and I'm really only playing here, too.)

[jimmer]

Jack thinks THAT was an error.  Yet I don't remember hearing him say a peep about the inside the park HR being an error.  Did he?

[Aggies7]

Has every out been about 15 ft in front of the track? Just a matter of time before one of those goes out.

[HitInAPinch]

Because it wasn't an error.

[David HK]

Say, I did notice that Phil didn't give the lead back right away in the 2nd.  Progress?

 

(Although I maybe shouldn't say that til he gets out of the 3rd...)

[Aggies7]

Lol that throw by Kepler literally bounced at the infield arc.

 

Hughes is still not good.

Well, you did it now......

Is losing something in the sun an error?
