Just wanted to say that until further notice Nootbaar is my new favourite baseball player's name.

They couldn't play baseball either, huh?

I was hoping for a Jeffers start.

Rocco hasn't give Jeffers back to back starts all year at catcher I don't think.  Vazquez has gotten some, most notably getting night game and then day game this past weekend vs Royals.  $10MM has some influence on have to play the guy more than presumed backup.  Buxton now in 3-hole, nothing like moving back up into mental pressure of being a 3 or 4 cleanup type of DH.

Not a fan of Buxton  as DH period.  Even less of a fan of him doing it hitting 3rd.

Hopefully, we get some run support early for Ryan...and also hopefully, he doesn't start losing baseballs over the fence. Hudson doesn't strike a lot of guys out, so maybe we can keep the K total under 10? Let's knock him out in the first few innings just to make sure, and just keep piling the runs on tonight! Bounce back game for Ryan!

He needs to either play in the field , or go on the D.l. until he can,  Does anyone have a clue why ???

For being Japanese, his name sounds like a Swedish candy bar,  

I believe his father is Dutch and his mother is Japanese. He was born in California.

A win is a win.  Can't be too picky, at this point.

Not complaining about that part, for sure.  I'd just prefer a cleaner game, on both teams part.  Sloppy and weird baseball isn't as entertaining as good baseball.

"Notable" in Dutch. Just doesn't cut it in English.
