A couple(5) of posers* to offer by way of opening this book club discussion...

 

So, is this game Homer's Illiad, or Odyssey?

 

Was Lord Byron a better politician or poet?

 

Would a Rosario by any name smell as sweet?

 

How did Josh hit one over the walls of Jericho?

 

What are orbital routes of certai spheres as projected by Kepler?

5. Brandon Dixon (R ) LF

6. Niko Goodrum ( S ) 2B

7. Austin Romine (R ) C

*posers, not refering to their difficulty, unless you are trying to figure out why anyone would ask them in the first place. And the answer is that i am being a poser, makin' myself out to be a high brow turtleneck wearing intellectual type to good to get my hands dirty in a good ol' down to earth american past time.

Byron was of course at his best as an inspirer, giving us the competition where Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, and producing perhaps the first programmer, Ada, Countess of Lovelace, as a child.

 

Good job, by George!

All this fancy literature crap, phewy. Victor Reyes is the new Niko Goodrum, with the way Reyes hits the Twins’ pitching.

I just watched the start of the Indians-Sox game. Indians hold a slim 1-0 lead. Hopefully they keep it. Also, Angel Hernandez' calls are ... adventurous.

That was on the ol' Babbage analytic engine, no?

 

Dredging some high school reading on history of computers...

 

The Game thread graders would also have accept an answer of "yes" to that question (to the first 3 of questions, for that matter, ensuring passing grade)

Something I noticed watching Garvers few ABs since his return: He has taken a lot of pitches at the beginning and only started swinging in 2-strike counts.

 

In that AB just now Skubal served him a fastball right down the middle first and Garver just watched.

Maybe it wasn't his style?

Greetings, all.  My first game as a member of this board.  I normally watch them on the DVR so I don't have to do commercials, but I am live and in color tonight, at least for a little while.

Can't say I'm surprised that Bailey's already getting pulled... hopefully the bullpen can keep us in this one. With another off day on Thursday, they can afford to use a lot of the pen today.
