Paging Kennys Vargas. Mr. Vargas, your table is ready.

I could have lived my entire life without knowing Gausman changed his number to 34.

Esco DRILLS a double.

LoMo looking good. Yikes.

Eddie the Stick picking up the team here, waydago Eddie!

I assume it's Logan K. Morrison?

He also apparently likes pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

[Mill1634]

Buck!!!

 

He sure can hit the fastball. If he ever learns to hit the spinner, he is gonna be damn good. 

[bighat]

Heck yes, BUXTON.

[Vanimal46]

Looks like Gausman will have an early exit today.

[ashbury]

Terrible crowd there in Bal'mer for a Sunday afternoon game. Guess everyone's still at church.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Fairly good start so far.

[Aggies7]

Seems like we’re going to score a lot this year

Here's an Easter story to while away the time.

 

My mother, who grew up on the wrong sides of the tracks (fortunately she married my dad who grew up on the right side of the tracks so I grew up in the middle of town) told us she and her siblings always got real live chicks for Easter presents. Then after the kids named their chicks and played with them their dad (major *******) moved the chicks out to the shed when they started to feather out and butchered them when they were big enough to eat; being sure to tell the kids which "pet" it was they were eating.

 

So when we were kids my mother would give us a box of chicks for Easter, we'd name them, play with them, but after a week or so we'd drive out to my uncle's farm and turn them in with the rest of his flock. Sort of a salvation thing. Anyway, many years later I was reminding my uncle of the annual pilgrimage to release our chickens and how he could always point out by name which full grown chickens were ours on subsequent trips. He laughed and told me never knew which ones were which as they all looked alike, so he'd just point at a chicken and say, "There's Flossie" or whatever.

 

The thing was, whenever we went out to the farm for Sunday dinner, my uncle would take his .22, step out the back door and pick off three or four chickens for our meal, always telling us worried kids that he was careful not to shoot "our" chickens.

 

The moral of the story; Know who you are and never run with the flock as you might catch a bullet.

Gausman must've forgot to attend this morning

[jimbo92107]

Buxton goes oppo! Four zip in the first! 

 

Watch out throwing curves in cold weather. Tendency to squeeze the ball too much.

No, Chief's puns are a complete joke. FSN are just pikers by comparison.

[Twodogs]

Yeah some lefty in today's day and age of over shifts could end up hitting .400 if they can do that to those shifts. When Rod Carew hit .388 he only needed another 8 hits throughout the course of that season and he would have hit .400. now no one over shifted back then and no one would have over shifted Carew. But it's possible a more powerful guy could challenge the .400 barrier and see a lot of shifts?

[ashbury]

Fairly. "Always In Moderation", indeed.

Hit ‘em where they ain’t.

 

(Worked for Rosario too. And Dozier...and Buxton...)

[Twodogs]

Esco DRILLS a double.

 

[ashbury]

Here’s a little bit of trivia...whenever the first day of the month is on Sunday, we get a Friday the 13th later in the month.

It being my understanding that there would be no math in this thread, I am at a loss to explain this magic.

He did exactly what I can't do with a pitching wedge from that distance.

You pulled a groan.
