    And Sandy Jr.'s jersey has no JR on it.?
  2. Nine of twelve
    To expand on this, here's a baseball example. Sandy Alomar, Sr. has two sons who played in the major leagues. One was his namesake and the other was not. But as siblings they have the same last name, Alomar. Sandy the son's last name is not Alomar Jr.

    Same here. Many players have (name) Jr. on their jerseys. This is inaccurate and incorrect. Jr. is part of the given name, not part of the surname.

    Dang, that was a prime opportunity down the drain. Buck pops up on ball 4 and Correa victimized by a called strike 1 that was 3" low and then had to swing at two more similar pitches because of it. Just have to keep it close and look for more opportunities to come.

    And we're off!

    He was in the lineup originally announced and posted. He was scratched.

    I just couldn't quite bring myself to say that even though for the Twins' sake it's what I hope for.

    The Guardians are down 6-2 in the top of the 6th in game 1 of their doubleheader with the evil empire in Cleveland.

    Sanchez is in the lineup on the Twins website.

    I'm sure the reasoning is twofold. Make sure the weather has passed so that, one, the game doesn't get interrupted with associated disruptions to pitching deployment and, two, to keep the dirt surfaces from becoming too wet.

    The way he said this in turn reminds me of something my son once told me: In theory, in theory and in practice are always the same. But in practice, in theory and in practice are often not the same.

    Lineups and batting orders on an earlier post have been edited to reflect this change.

    If the pitch is strike 3 the run does not count, even if the runner reaches home before the pitch arrives. I believe that is true even if the catcher does not receive the ball cleanly and the batter is put out before he reaches first base because it is a force play and no run is awarded on a play in which the batter makes the third out on a force play. Regarding fielder indifference, that's an interesting question. I suppose it would have to be very obvious, for example the pitcher not making a throw or pitch on the play. I'm going to ask an umpire friend of mine to see what he says.

    But mode is the one the most people like best.

    Bonus (in the view of some) video: I was going to include this on the intro. However, because it used the word center instead of middle I decided not to. But it's still interesting (in the view of some) to know that there are four centers of a triangle.

    Based on current radar it appears rain will impact the game. It would not be a surprise if it starts late.

    Hi everybody, and welcome to today's game thread. I will follow my usual format of five topics. I don't typically include analysis or predictions because that type of thing can be found elsewhere on this site written by people more skilled at those things than I am. 1. Happy middle day! Today is the middle of 2022. There have been 182 days this year before today and there will be 182 days after today. To be more precise, 1:00 PM CDT marks the midpoint, which by coincidence happens very near the start time of today's game. 2. Today's game is the middle game of a three-game series between the Twins and the Orioles. Our team will secure a series win if we come out on top. 3. This being the 81st game of the Twins' 2022 season, the period of time between the end of today's game and the start of tomorrow's game is the middle of their season. 4. I like this song. 5. I hope everyone has at worst a fair-to-middling day. The current guess for weather is partly cloudy, 72º F, with a 50% chance of showers during the afternoon. The expected starting pitchers are RHP Jordan Lyles (4-7, 4.94) for the Orioles and RHP Sonny Gray (4-1, 2.17) for the Twins. Lineups and batting orders have not been announced at the time this is being written, so that will have to be posted later.

    Drungo Hazewood.

    Here's a photo someone else in my household took last summer. Thought it was apropos for tonight.

    If it's in the New York Post one shouldn't reflexively believe that it's true.

    Athletic departments don't want to keep up with the Joneses. They want to be better than all Joneses. I'm sure the LSU athletic department did a search and found that Johnson was far and away the best fit for their program. Moreover, I'm sure they realized very quickly that other programs would soon make the same finding. Hence they realized that it was in their best interest to act very quickly and make an un-refusable offer before someone else did. Kudos to LSU.

    It would have to be the 13-run rule. No major league team has ever won a game after trailing by 13. 12 has been done, though.
  24. Nine of twelve
    We don't have a player named Duffy.

    Seriously, though, wiping them out in the opening game of the series, extending their losing streak to 5, can demoralize them for the next 4 games. I hope, anyway.
