    Thought this would be a good photo to share tonight.

    "This season's forecast. Darkening clouds. Stormy weather ahead." As for me:

    This is exactly what Rocco did. And we what we saw happen was Gray giving up two hits to open the 7th inning in a 3-run game. If Gray wants to be allowed to pitch deeper then it's on him to get outs in this situation, not give up hits.

    It's not a requirement to have participated in the game thread during the game in order to post on the thread after the game. Making a negative general comment about the thread is in bounds. Making a negative comment about a specific individual, for example calling one of his or her posts just stupid, is out of bounds. And I myself had decided a few days ago to take a break from posting but I didn't have the willpower to carry out the deed. That has changed. I'll see you all in 15 days when I'm committed to writing the game thread opener.

    So, score tied, home team batting in the bottom of the 9th or later, runner on second, 0 out. Anyone know how to find the statistic of how frequently an IBB is issued? I would guess far less than 50%. There is much to consider beyond just setting up force plays. Who is following in the lineup or available to pinch hit? Does the pitcher have good control? Is the pitcher skilled at inducing ground balls? Which fielders are playing? And more. Also consider that if the lead runner makes an out there is a runner on base that wouldn't have been there otherwise. With runners on second and third those issues are amplified, plus an IBB brings into play that a subsequent BB, HBP, or catcher's interference loses the game. When Joe Maddon was managing TB he once ordered a bases-loaded IBB. Not in this situation, obviously, but his team wound up winning that game.

    Yeah, could be.

    They have the third best record in the AL. That's not exactly dark horse.
  9. Nine of twelve
    Why must it be this way?
  10. Nine of twelve
    OK, Mr. Lopez, show us what you got.

    We got him to third with one out. I'm not sure what you are saying.
  12. Nine of twelve
    We did get Leon to third.

    And people gripe when the starter gets pulled after 5...

    This is classic Berrios. Some of his pitches have nasty movement, so much so you wonder how anyone hits him. But he loses focus or something, I don't know, and he always seems to pitch down to the other team's ability. Next thing you know he's getting knocked around.

    What, did you fail your Jinx 101 class in baseball fan school?
  16. Nine of twelve
    Leon sure looks like a catcher.
  17. Nine of twelve
    OK, what's the correct pronunciation? May-lee? Mah-lee? Mal-as-in-Cal-lee?
  18. Nine of twelve
    I had the same thought. I don't have any proof to say Duffey was enhancing his grip on the ball. But his drop-off in performance was temporally correlated with MLB's crackdown on grip enhancers. I hate to think that was involved but I think there is reason to believe that it could very well have been a factor. Very similar to Rincon's drop-off in performance after he got busted for juicing.

    I am also very appreciative of them spending their discretionary Loonies in our fair state!
  20. Nine of twelve
    I'm sure that one of 29 teams will take him on. Hope the change of scenery does him good.
  21. Nine of twelve
    BINGO!
  22. Nine of twelve
    OK, reminds me of this one: What has 30 arms, 30 legs, and 30 teeth?
  23. Nine of twelve
    Like but don't like.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Wow, good thing Cave is on the roster.?
  25. Nine of twelve
    That's not necessarily a bad thing, you know.
