    Maybe we can start referring to Molitor as "Re-Ron".

    Fielder's choice / E-4.

    Bully is quiet. Looks like Hildenberger. But I'd have someone warming if it were me.

    Eddie! (The first couple pitches were just for practice.)

    I thought of this out of the blue and I don't want to take the time to research it but here's the question: Beginning in 1901, which is considered to be the first year of the modern era of baseball, what is the shortest overlapping chain of players who played in the majors? By overlapping I mean players would have to play in the same year to be part of the chain. To illustrate what I mean, here's the hypothetical scenario. Say there was a player who played every year from 1901 through 1921, another who played 1921-1941, another who played 1941-1961, another who played 1961-1981, another who played 1981-2001, and another who played 2001-2018. That would be a chain of 6 players. I suppose a good place to start would be to find players who had very long careers. For example, Jim Kaat comes to mind (25 years).

    Sano still at third, Mauer did not need to swing. At all. It was a 3-2 count.

    Very uncharacteristic of Mauer to swing at that bad of a pitch.

    Dicknbert talking about the screw-up by the Detroit front office regarding today's pitching.That should never happen to any major league operation.

    There's a logistical problem with this idea. At this moment we already have a 9-man bullpen with Busenitz up and Erv on the DL. We would have to send out two relievers and find two starters. One starter is Gonsalves as of tomorrow and we would need to bring someone else up to start on Thursday. I said on another thread that I think Stewart will go down tomorrow to make room for Gonsalves, then a reliever will be sent out to make room for a minor league call-up to start on Thursday. When the rosters expand next month then this might be a good thing to consider.

    As of this moment there are four starters on the 25-man: Berrios, Gibson, Odorizzi, and Stewart. At first I thought it would be Drake who would go just because he's the oldest, but he hasn't allowed a run in his 5 appearances. I suppose they could send Busenitz back down after just 1 game but that doesn't seem right. I think they'll send out Stewart and go with a 9-man bullpen through Wednesday. Then on Thursday someone else will come up from the minors to start and a reliever, Busenitz I suppose, will go to the minors.

    OK boys, this is a good time to put a few on the board.

    Jack Morris was right - this game will not end up 3-2.
  13. Nine of twelve
    Can Joe go deep again? The precedent has been set...
  14. Nine of twelve
    Ding ding dinger!

    It would have been interesting to see Dave Winfield pitch a mop-up inning or two in the majors but he never did. I think he would have been very competitive in that role.
  16. Nine of twelve
    Two at-bats in a row, I believe.

    My favorite Field Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXo4vS-81a8&list=PL40F74AE64671C0BB

    I wouldn't have agreed with this a year ago but I do now.

    It's too soon after TJ to know what May's future role is. We really need to wait until next season before we do that. He could even wind up starting again if he can command three pitches.

    Although the last time I was there (in 2010) the concessions were uninspiring compared to Target Field. It's probably even less inspiring now unless they've made some serious upgrades.
  21. Nine of twelve
    Not as good as Target Field but certainly a very good ball park.
  22. Nine of twelve
    And Toto too.

    Dogs are not pets. They are members of the family.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Signs point to no.

    We're seeing two starting pitchers very near the ends of their careers tonight.
