Did I tell you what happened the other day when I put my phone in Airplane mode?

Looks like I picked the wrong game thread to invoke a movie reference.

Am I reading this right? Seven complete innings and only three strikeouts (only eight hits), from both sides. 

Correa...K

Buxton...K

 

I blame stringer.

Jax looks really good, like he could throw in 80 games this year; so strong.

Yeah, I've been slow to accept that he can be more than AAAA fodder.  Maybe along the time he gets an All-Star invitation, I'll finally be convinced.

I'm starting to detect a pattern to your random throws of the dice.

[rwilfong86]

This ump's strike zone has been really inconsistent.

That doesn't seem random to me. Like, intentional even.

Your awareness is astute.

Updates around the league regarding former...Yankees?

[bighat]

I'm sorry but this offense looks pretty uninspiring thusfar. 

There were some bad strike calls that last inning but to see this team striking out against the worst team in baseball like this is really disappointing. 

So far it doesn't look like much has changed from last year. And yes, it's VERY VERY VERY early, way too early to tell if that's true.

Chief is always astute.  The world could use more stutes like him.

Griffin Jax … Paul Skenes.  Can the Twins corner the Air Force market?

Fun fact: Mitch Garver set a major league record by being the only New York Yankee never to be a New York Yankee.

[USAFChief]

I don't let Thielbar face Reyes.

[jkcarew]

Not sure why you're letting Reyes see a lefty here.

Hey, Luis Arraez set that record too.

[cHawk]

That went slightly better than expected.

Honestly didn’t seem like a fair fight.

You don't get the strikeout, then.

/ at least, that particular one

// point well taken though

Those are the things that make you scratch your head. Zero reason to chance it there.
