    Lefty versus righty thing? Have to ask Gardy about that, I think there is a name for that concept. / edit - nah, that doesn't explain Chris Young who is a righty, on Tuesday. I looked and he doesn't have a very large platoon split. But maybe Jack Goin teased something out from the data and gave Gardy the heads-up. Yeah, that's it.

    Yeah I'm unavailable that day as we---, wait, what?

    No villains here, IMO. The discomfort a pitcher goes through isn't as simple as Go No-Go. I'd prefer to give Nolasco the benefit of the doubt for courage to try to pitch through a period of time where he didn't know for sure where the end of the tunnel really is. New team and not being "that guy" and all that, it rings true. And from the other side, manager and coach treating a new and veteran guy with dignity and respect, not peppering him with questions that will sound like second guessing over a bad stretch of results, also rings true to me. It's part of an equilibrium that, in the big picture, works.

    Just from the numbers, I'd agree. But if it's correct that he's taking all his swings from the right-hand side, then a "one step backward in order to take two steps forward" process is at least promising, if the step backward is only this small. No guarantee the two steps forward will happen, but there's a chance.

    Don't be a jerk.

    Stew Thornley enforces higher standards than that for the local chapter, I assure you.

    Twins win, it must be midnight somewhere, good night!

    Why is it that when it's 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth you are praying for a 1-2-3 inning to get it over with, but when it's 8-1 you are still praying for a 1-2-3 inning to get it over with?

    Females don't have to buy alcohol. You were doing it wrong.

    I do expect the trading AI you go up against, even on the difficult setting, would have a baseball insider saying, "uh, no, you couldn't get away with that".

    Note to self: when meeting snepp in person, feign a broken arm or something, do not shake hands.

    Check the cord, is it plugged in?

    Nah, that guy's from Iowa.

    Nope, it sure hasn't.

    Probably. I think they are all born with a hockey stick in one hand and a broom in the other. / and the moms are none too pleased about it

    I had been trying to work in a Stephen Harper joke but you beat me to the punch. / just perpetuating the Ugly American stereotype... I know that's really the governor of Toronto... I googled President of Canada and got as a hit "Stephen Harper, and he's Prime Minister you hoser."

    Note to self, one gift membership to Curves if I get ChiTown in the Secret Santa pool.
