    This game started like yesterday's game but it has already diverged in our favor from that. Keep it going, boys.

    Going in to today's games the AL is 17 games under .500 against the NL. Last season was the first time since 2003 that the NL had a winning record in interleague play and it certainly looks as though that could happen again this year. Here is the division-by-division breakdown: ALE -9 (-4 interleague) ALC -17 (-12 interleague) ALW +9 (-1 interleague) NLE -8 (+8 interleague) NLC +8 (+1 interleague) NLW +17 (+8 interleague) So not only does the ALC have by far the worst record of any division, but it also has by far the worst record in interleague play. Moreover, the ALC is paired with the worst division in the NL, the NLE, in interleague play. It appears that the numbers bear out what probably most people expected going into the season, that the ALC is the weakest division in baseball.

    A player's first MLB appearance will almost always be stressful. It's just a matter of managing it as well as possible. Good job by Eades today.

    Interesting sidelight about uniform numbers and Eades being the first MLB player ever to wear 80. I actually had coincidentally come across this earlier today. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/08/phillies-pat-neshek-number-93-adam-cimber-90 So according to this 86, 89, and 92 are now the only remaining virgin numbers. And I was not surprised that Pat Neshek would be someone to choose a never-before-worn number.

    OK boys, it's getting to be time to mount the comeback du jour.

    The team needed to get Astudillo out of the State of Minnesota. It was a matter of life and death. http://www.startribune.com/commercial-turtle-harvesting-in-minnesota-remains-a-worry-for-some/511023641/

    A good counterpoint, but I find it hard to believe the 1987 Twins would have gone all the way without home field advantage.

    See my edit.

    That will never happen again. That team would not even qualify for the postseason in the modern-day format. They also lucked into home field for both rounds of the postseason because that rotated instead of being awarded to the team with the better record. And now teams have to go through three rounds (plus a wild card game) to win it all, meaning 4 starting pitchers are needed. They were probably the least likely team to win a World Championship ever. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Edit: To clarify, Oakland would have won the AL West in today's format and the Twins, who had a better record than Oakland, would have finished third in the wild card standings and thereby found themselves on the outside looking in.

    So this is an OK start.

    I count 40 players on the Twins website and Eades isn't one of them. Is anyone a candidate for the 60-day IL?
  12. Nine of twelve
    Between Gonzalez and Adrianza we can cover 6 defensive positions. Kepler and even Rosario can back up Buxton in CF. So the only place where this will have some impact is that Garver won't be DH'ing and now that Cruz is healthy that's not a big issue. If Astudillo gets himself going at Rochester he can always come back up if there's an injury. He'll be up in September and it wouldn't surprise me to see him on the postseason roster since one less pitcher would be needed because of the 4-man starting rotation.

    *Exhales* (Was very close to *Pukes*).

    Is Parker really pitching? Go to 3:02 of this:
  15. Nine of twelve
    Me or Jack? I know, I know...yes.
  16. Nine of twelve
    I'm hoping the conditions are met to allow Parker to pitch.
  17. Nine of twelve
    Checked out a streaming site to see what the Tigers TV guys would say about Buxton's double. Turns out Jack Morris is doing tonight's game for them.
  18. Nine of twelve
    Only Buxton could have thrown Buxton out on that fly ball.
  19. Nine of twelve
    There are no more than about 3 players in the world who could make that into a double.
  20. Nine of twelve
    I vote for not Parker.
  21. Nine of twelve
    Department of redundancy department.
  22. Nine of twelve
    You spoke too soon.
  23. Nine of twelve
    That takes into consideration that it is the Tigers he is pitching to.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Especially when it's not in the strike zone.
  25. Nine of twelve
    No, I don't care if quoting oneself is considered bad form.
