    Twins starting pitcher tonight has been scuffling of late, while the Astros' starter had yet to have a bad start. So naturally, I tune in now and find our Twins leading, what, 5-1? Because of course! You can sum up baseball in one word, and that word is "you never know". -- whose quote is this? (it isn't Yogi)

    Mrs Ash and I spent an unanticipated night in the state of Texas yesterday, due to a good-luck/bad-luck set of circumstances involving the weather and a connecting flight through DFW. We know better - don't fly through Denver to see family at Christmas, and don't fly through Dallas for summer vacations. They need to build a roof over the entire state. And of course, we remember General Sheridan's statement long ago: "If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell." Personally, I can't see the difference that he was able to discern.

    Here's hoping that Pablo pitches so well that luck doesn't factor into the outcome at all.

    No one said otherwise. As for your overly narrow definition of trolling, I'm not playing along, sorry.

    If only we could have this much good news in every report.

    Yes, my bad, I missed his side comment. Using the Quote feature helps provide context when taking up someone's tangent.

    Exactly. It needed to be fact-checked.

    LOL, I saw the CYA-7 meaning 7th place and didn't look deeper to find out that just one vote was enough to tie with two others. 😀

    You brought up the question of money, I didn't, and the writer of the article certainly didn't.

    7 hits, no walks, for 3 runs? Yeah, maybe a tad early. 😀

    The article said "players" and not specifically position players, so I feel it's a big oversight not to mention Bert Blyleven. He already had considerable experience by 1973 and his age-22 season was at a similar high level as his previous ones, earning an All-Star berth and some Cy Young Award support.

    Say, you may not be aware of this, since it's not widely known, but....

    I think it's Roy Smalley on the telecast? He explained carefully that the main job of a left-handed reliever is to get lefties out. Kind of a hot take but he does have the in-game experience.

    Let's win on those other days too.

    This Irvin guy seems like a pitcher without overpowering stuff. Here's hoping our batters have a good time at his expense.

    Rocker? If you mean Rooker he was viewed as a corner bat, if not DH, which is how it played out. Martin was not drafted by the Twins. Legitimate 5-tool OF prospects are highly prized by every team and they are snapped up in the early picks.

    I wasn't questioning your quote, but ChatGPT, which is never, never wrong, nevertheless confirms the identity. Oh, and, while I was at it... How many times has Tommy Lasorda died, in the time since he passed away in 2021? ChatGPT Tommy Lasorda passed away on January 7, 2021, and since then, there have been no reports or credible sources indicating that he has died again. Once someone has passed away, they cannot die again. It's important to verify information from credible sources to avoid spreading misinformation. / Edit - PS, Ted, my apologies for littering the first page of the comments area of your fine article. 😀

    ChatGPT 3.5, which is never, never wrong*, attributes it to Earl Weaver. He knew a little about baseball. But you're right that he weren't no poet, and he know'ed-it. *I love messing with ChatGPT. I asked it next if Earl was still alive, and it told me, "As of my last update in January 2022, Earl Weaver passed away on January 19, 2013, at the age of 82." Last update? Do we need to keep checking? I'll ask it next about Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Here is another ChatGPT dialog that I chose to save for posterity a few weeks ago: Which member of the US Senate has a birthday this year? ChatGPT Without real-time access to current data, I can't provide the birthdays of members of the US Senate for this year. However, many senators have birthdays each year, so it's likely that several senators have birthdays in the current year. You might find the information by checking the biographies or profiles of current senators online or through official Senate resources. But I digress.

    Yash indeed. Bash and Cash, the both of 'em.

    Willi Nilli. C'mon Chief, it was right there.
  22. ashbury
    Fortunately Buxton did.
  23. ashbury
    Wait, were you at the game tonight? So were my two boys!
  24. ashbury
    Do you ever ask our pitchers for a not well pitched game? If so, please stop it! 😀 Satisfying win all around.

    My psychologist diagnosed me with Narcissistic Personality Disorder but the state medical board overruled him on the grounds I wasn't good enough looking for that.
