    Out.

    Looks like we're going to need our offense to click tonight.

    Nice play by Sano.

    According to the FSN broadcast it's 95F with 66% humidity on the field. And people say we didn't need a retractable roof. (/sarc)

    My son earned a master's degree from Rice University. There's a Texas taco chain called Torchy's and there was a location near his apartment. Highly recommended. I believe they have at least one stand inside Minute Maid Park.

    This is lifted from Michael Rand's piece on StarTribune.com: "Since that dismal 0-for-7 game against Tampa Bay on June 27 that had people ready to give up on him again, Sano is hitting .348 with an OPS above 1.100. He’s walked eight times and struck out 16 times in 55 plate appearances — far more acceptable numbers — to go with four home runs." It seems that he probably just needed to shake off the rust. No spring training, an essentially lost 2018 season due to recovery from surgery, etc etc etc. I think everyone who is paying attention has noticed the quality of his at-bats has improved markedly, especially pitch recognition. Does he take every breaking ball out of the zone? Of course not. Nobody does, not even Arraez. (Or Mauer.) But I think he's evolving just fine and I hope Rocco plugs him in at third base (and higher in the batting order) as often as is feasible.

    The play DID develop fast. The ball was in the first baseman's mitt an instant after it was hit. The reason the throw to first wasn't very strong is because both the first baseman and the base runner knew it didn't have to be.

    Only a truly mature man would drink such a wonderful concoction.

    Wow, that game went from moribund and depressing to lively and jubilant. Glad I watched.

    Reminds me of my favorite Batman villian, Egghead.
  11. Nine of twelve
    There's another.
  12. Nine of twelve
    There's one of them.

    I rank Smalley a lot higher than most. I certainly think he's better than Gladden.
  14. Nine of twelve
    Good. All the more for me!
  15. Nine of twelve
    Wow! What's the opposite of *sigh*?

    One change I would make is for the reviewers not to know the call on the field unless it's not possible to keep the umpire's call out of the view of the play. This eliminates the standard that there has to be clear evidence to overturn. The reviewers would rule out, safe, or inconclusive. (Or fair, foul, or inconclusive, etc.) Only if the reviewers rule inconclusive would the call on the field stand.

    Apparently the ruling was that one molecule of one spike was touching one molecule of the base.
  18. Nine of twelve
    *sigh*

    Arraez learned a lesson on that one.

    I had an elementary school teacher who said never to put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear. It was several years later when it dawned on me to try putting my elbow in my ear to compare.
  21. Nine of twelve
    I concur but I didn't feel right clicking like.
  22. Nine of twelve
    Legitimate observation.
  23. Nine of twelve
    If that's the case then you aren't going on contact.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Ask, and Google shall answer.
  25. Nine of twelve
    Maybe. My guess is that Baldelli called go on contact. The idea is that a so-so grounder can score a run. However, this is an example of how that can bite you in the butt.
