    Anyone who was a hockey fan in May of 1974 remembers this version of GBA which will never be equalled.

    It's not necessary to remove caps and hold hands over hearts for GBA. It's not the National Anthem. It's just a song, and thanks to MLB a song that I'll be sick and tired of for the rest of my life.

    Over the last week Gonzalez and Astudillo are both cold at the plate, and Gonzalez is significantly better in the field.

    OK boys, keep the line moving. This is the inning we create some space.
  5. Nine of twelve
    Yes.

    Stall while the next pitcher warms as quickly as possible. Cold weather, 6th inning, pitcher hasn't been fully stretched for long starts, close game. It's unfair to second guess but maybe should have had someone warming at the start of the inning.

    I have yet to attend a game at Miller Park, but an acquaintance of mine who has said it was like being inside a giant coffee can.

    If you are willing to write the check I'll bet they can find a way to get one installed.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with pitching to contact. It's an excellent strategy but it's not one-size-fits-all. Nolan Ryan never thought about pitching that way and he never should have. But pitchers who rely on finesse and deception, and there have been many very good ones, should try to induce less-than-ideal contact. Don't waste pitches trying to strike someone out unless the situation calls for it. That type of pitcher should have as his goal getting through an inning on two ground-outs and a fly-out in 7 pitches. I seem to remember a game that Brad Radke won with no K's. I guess he said afterward that he couldn't get anyone out.

    I remember reading a Patrick Reusse column many years ago that said something to the effect that you can watch an NBA game closely and see nothing new at all, but you can watch an MLB game closely and see something new every time.

    It will look great at Target Field. It will feel like a pre-1982 Vikings game.

    That was me during the 1986-1991 seasons, although I did night games as well depending on my work schedule. (I was single then, BTW.) I'd buy an upper level seat at below face value from a scal- ... uh, streetside ticket agent, sneak down to the lower level, find an unoccupied seat close to the infield, enjoy a bit of dome food along with a beverage or two, keep book while watching the game, and just enjoy major league baseball.

    LEN III reports that it will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on May 11.

    Doubt Rocco will double switch. Pitcher's spot comes up 8th next inning.
  15. Nine of twelve
    There's the reason Rocco put him in the lineup tonight.
  16. Nine of twelve
    Prototype NL run!
  17. Nine of twelve
    Erk.

    Geez, Astudillo would have to hit four home runs every game to make up for his deficiencies as a 1B.
  19. Nine of twelve
    Just exactly what we didn't want.
  20. Nine of twelve
    What the **** is going on here???
  21. Nine of twelve
    There goes the quality start streak!!! Amazing!!!
  22. Nine of twelve
    Love seeing the boys go right after deGrom after the Mets tied it last inning.
  23. Nine of twelve
    For many years Dick has referred to fly balls to the outfield as pop-ups. No, No, No. Pop-ups are very high fly balls to the infield. Only. If it's to the outfield it's not a pop-up.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Mauer would have had that.
  25. Nine of twelve
    Waiting for a replay on that. I didn't see it clear the fence.
