    ... and goes to the same well a second time and gets burned. 1-0.

    Milone relies on his OUT-field for the first out.

    Circus Boy Update: 0-0 heading into the top of the first, with both pitchers working on a perfect game.

    Your signature is referring to the one you rode in on? We must like the both of you equally, I guess.

    He's been so terrible as a lefty facing righties. Maybe hitting lefty against left-handers will turn out to be his niche.

    How can we know for sure, until the final inning?
  7. ashbury
    Jack In The Box burgers might be equally carcinogenic, I don't know.

    At the risk of spelling out and thus ruining the joke that every single other person here already got, I just want to offer recognition of and appreciation for the pun in the thread title. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLMVB0B1_Ts

    PhD. YMMV. TANSTAAFL. LS/MFT.

    Not so. The sign said "$10" but Mrs Ash tried to be a good negotiator and said she wanted at least $500 to take me off their hands. Turned out she still got burned of course.

    http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/lloyd-mcclendon-ejected-for-1st-time-this-season/ "In the fourth inning, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon visited the mound to talk with his young starter, Roenis Elias. But from the very beginning of McClendon’s stroll from the dugout to the mound it was clear McClendon had another purpose in mind: He wanted to let home-plate umpire Sean Barber know he blew a strike-three call in the third inning that led to a run. 'Something to that effect,'McClendon said in shorts after the game." My recollection is that he jawed with the ump for a bit, then headed for the dugout, but evidently thought of "just one more thing" when he was about 20 feet away and turned to say it, and immediately got the thumb. You aren't technically allowed to argue balls and strikes anymore, if I'm not mistaken, and the ump let him argue it anyway and then finally had had enough. Incidentally, after the ejection was called, McClendon felt empowered to come back and really let the ump know what he thought about things for half a minute or so. I thought the ump handled himself well throughout, and McClendon didn't really cross any major lines either though he clearly instigated for whatever purpose. I interpret this as much as rookie hazing of the ump as anything. Another unwritten rule or some damn thing.

    At some point, will the Florida State League go to a 50 man active roster, and thereby cut out all the shenanigans, needed as they seem to be?
  13. ashbury
    I think you caught the writers' clever subtext, yes.
  14. ashbury
    Oh, of course. This will arise every time someone's starter goes down. Alternate version of Doc's scenario: "...And yes, reports are that Nolasc- hello?? hello??"

    At this writing, the 2015 Minnesota Twins have a staff ERA of 4.53 and a staff FIP of 4.46. Do we now have emerging proof that this year's defense is approximately major league average and should not be held as an excuse for underperformance like last year? / double check the thread title before going off on any deep ends...

    Ditto H/9.

    I just like knowing a new German word. Dudelsack, LOL. I let Google Translate confirm it just to be safe.

    You judge the masterfulness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPUU33yJ77I
  19. ashbury
    It will be ever clear to me, at least.
  20. ashbury
    Yes, because 200 is the new 100.
  21. ashbury
    Good save on a near jinx.
  22. ashbury
    ...THXBYE, Seattle.

    I think someone else has that as their signature. I'll make the occasional joking comment, but if he can bounce back then he's an asset regardless of salary, and if he can't then ideas of his leaving are just fantasy anyway. And I have no issues with his (or most players') clutchness whatsoever.
  24. ashbury
    Perk two days in a row. Now he earns the salary.

    Showing Circus Boy how it's done. Speaking of whom: Twins 4, Mariners 2, going into the bottom of the 11th. This has been your Circus Boy Update.
