Wel That escalated quickly.

I wonder if it might be Miranda given Martin’s ability to play CF. 
 

Then again, with Correa playing, Castro is available for CF. 

And if Santana can hit, that means Kirilloff steals Miranda's playing time to some degree. Or, I wish that was the case, except for the platooning.

I'm not sure anybody knows what Miranda is right now. I still sort of think he should play every day, either MLB or AAA.

We were doing fine until you appear to have shown up. 

[h2oface]

Pablo Day Lopez. Ace my arse! 

ALL innings count. You are your record, and Lopez is now at 4.83 ERA for the season with a career just over 4. Ace, eh?

Huh? I showed up just in time for Lopez to get out of the inning.

What's with all the anti-banana advertising behind the plate?

What did the tin man say after getting run over by a steam roller?

"Flattery will get you nowhere?"

Not much, I’m guessing.

Apparently May 1 is "High Potassium Awareness Day."

I don't quite understand the need. I mean, people should really be aware of potassium all the time. Sober or not.

Oh so close.

 

"Curses! Foil again."

[USAFChief]

OK...who are you and what have you done with Cole Sands?

The banana advisory council needs to get it together.

[Danchat]

Weird to see Sands has a 0.71 ERA. That's why you move failed starters to the bullpen, it works wonders sometimes. Even if it isn't sustainable, it's better than being stuck as an AAAA starter.

I like this answer best, though.

Will Livingston would be impressed.

Happy to see me, or do you have high potassium levels in your pocket?

[IndianaTwin]

The Twins being near Disney reminded me of a factoid. Turns out people in Dubai don't like the Flintstones. 

But the people in Abu Dhabi do. 

[USAFChief]

High five!

Needing more appeal? 

[USAFChief]

Wouldn't be opposed to adding on some run(s) here.

[USAFChief]

"And Buxton draws his second walk...all year."

I blame me.

[IndianaTwin]

Atteberry has been better on the radio than I feared. In past years, when he's been the sub, it seemed like he tried to use every tidbit from his homework by the third inning, whether or not it fit the situation.

He can still come across as trying to be cute, but he's growing on me.  

[Jocko87]

Miranda, woof.

And Chief reveals his secret.

Willi Castro and Carlos Santana leading the new look offense of late April.

WTF?

Just as it should be.

Really nice rally.
