    Good morning, good afternoon, good night!

    Let's just get out of this inning and call it a game.

    Dicknjustin talking about Cal Ripken JR.'s streak -- The Orioles were at the Metrodome and before the game during BP or whatever Puckett goes up to Ripken and says, "You playing today, man?"

    Cave bunted it too softly. If it gets past the pitcher he might have made a double out of it.

    It's raining in the western suburbs. Let's get a washout right now.

    Not to worry. Eddie got him in. And Donaldson. And he sacrificed himself to make sure Rook scored too.

    That was a big boy home run.

    Let's make sure we are leading after 4 1/2 innings. The radar makes it look like the game might not go 9.

    I hope Rocco is doing the right things giving players as much rest as he does. He certainly knows more about running a team than any of us. Keep in mind the manager's goal is to win the World Series. Or in the case of this season the quasi-World Series. No two managers will approach that goal the same way. If he has everyone healthy and playing well and the team qualifies for the postseason I'm fine.

    I enjoyed reading the opening post, even though it brought two things to mind: the word "whippersnapper" and the phrase "get off my lawn". My favorite Bert story: he talked about his first major league game at the age of 19. He gave up a home run to the first major league batter he faced, Lee Maye. He said on a broadcast that that brought manager Bill Rigney out to the mound, where Rigney told him that that wasn't the only home run he would ever give up. He proceeded to allow no more runs in 7 innings, striking out 7 and getting the win.

    Astudillo is not a catcher. He's a baseball player who can fill in behind the plate if need be. He took an outfield assist away from Rosario by not handling the excellent throw in the second inning and he let at least two wild pitches get past him that he should have stopped. I guess it's OK for him to be the fourth-string catcher but as today showed we would benefit from having another real catcher available.

    Just wanted to say I've enjoyed the discussion about the minutiae of the ninth inning. This is the type of thing that makes me really like baseball.

    If this is why Rosario was running I suppose that's a good play. It would be interesting to hear from him and from Rocco about it.

    Who wasn't in the game. Sano was playing first.

    I'm not a sabermetrician, but run expectancy is not the most relevant matter. As the fifth paragraph hinted at, win expectancy is what should be considered.

    I wish to make two points about Rosario's baserunning in the ninth. First, it was good for him to take second base on defensive indifference. That probably would not have had an impact on the outcome of the game because it would have been a difficult play for a charging shortstop to try for the force at second but it's still good to eliminate a force play. Second, why was Rosario running on Buxton's ground ball? Or even taking a lead? There was no reason for him to leave second base. He should have been standing with his foot on the bag the whole time.

    It was defensive indifference and not a steal, but still a good play to take advantage of what you are given.
  19. Nine of twelve
    With the SS charging the ball it would have been tough to get Rosario at second.
  20. Nine of twelve
    Wheels wins the game!!!!!!!!
  21. Nine of twelve
    Great! Now can we get a Segway for Cruz to ride at second?
  22. Nine of twelve
    I hope nobody.

    Great peg by Jeffers!

    I attended and graduated from Ohio State. I had friends from those days who also couldn't comprehend how that could happen. Until the Browns became the Ravens. Then they understood.

    I attended and graduated from UMD. As a result I have an accurate understanding of Gophers Men's Hockey. They are the Yankees of Division I. Same arrogant sense of entitlement within the program and even more so from their fans.
