nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted April 22 Posted April 22 So far it appears the most pitches in a game for Prielipp is 77. I'm hoping they at least let him throw 80 if things are going well, and honestly, I'd probably let him throw at least 60 even if things aren't going well. Western SD Fan, C-Gangster and Patzky 3

Not related to treadmills, but if you find that drum catchy, maybe you'd like the Pogues. Here's an old track of their's that the Byrne one called to mind - something Irish-y about his instrumentation, maybe, I'm no expert. Richie the Rally Goat 1

HarmonK03 Verified Member Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Please no piggyback tonight, use Rojas for length if needed, but let the game situation dictate pitching plans. Piggybacking does not work like when they tried to do it with Over and Morris.

ashbury Verified Member Posted April 22 Posted April 22 8 minutes ago, mrtwinsfan said: full name was-- Zoilo Casanova Versalles Rodriguez). Zoilo being such an uncommon name, I asked ChatGPT about it. That AI tool is never wrong, so I am providing its answer verbatim and without fact-checking anything, just in case anyone else finds the background interesting. Quote Origin and meaning “Zoilo” comes from the Greek name Ζωΐλος (Zoilos), derived from ζωή (zoē) meaning “life.” So the name carries a sense of “full of life” or “vital.” It entered Spanish through the classical/Latin tradition, which is why it feels a bit old-world or scholarly rather than modern. Historical associations The most famous early bearer is Zoilus of Amphipolis, a 4th-century BCE critic known for harshly attacking Homer. Because of him, the name “Zoilo” (and “Zoilus” in English) sometimes picked up a secondary meaning: a carping or overly critical person. That connotation shows up occasionally in older literature. In Spanish-speaking contexts The name exists across Spain and Latin America but is rare everywhere. It has had a bit more presence historically in places like Cuba and parts of the Caribbean. It’s sometimes associated with a Catholic saint: Saint Zoilus, a martyr from Roman Spain (Córdoba), which helped the name persist in Spanish tradition. Overall feel If you met someone named Zoilo today, most Spanish speakers would recognize it as: legitimate somewhat archaic or distinctive maybe even a little literary It’s the kind of name that stands out—not bizarre, but definitely not common.
