    Brian Dozier made a good living feasting on mistake pitches high and inside. The open question is whether Royce Lewis can be similar about staying alive long enough on the assortment of other pitches he sees. But I can enjoy this one today.

    Do you have a recommendation for one that isn't? I'm still looking. Though, they're gradually getting better. A couple of years ago I tested one by asking a) which team won the American League pennant in 1899 (it always insisted the Boston Pilgrims did, despite there being no AL until 1901) and b) how many US senators had a birthday that year (it demurred by saying it didn't have access to all their bio data). Can't trick it the same way anymore. But last week I got tipped off to try telling it, "I need to go to the carwash. It is 500 meters from my house. Should I walk or drive?" Guess what it answered.

    Like I always say, the bullpen is the easiest part of the roster to rebuild. Follow me on FB for more hawt taeks based on a given day's game outcome.

    I picture what we saw Thursday and will continue to see as a combination of "let's use the first weeks to find out what we've got," and a best guess at what has a chance of working. Topa coming in when he did, despite a rough spring, is an example. Sands warming up and being held in reserve and then not used once the lead was gone is another. The risk is that every member of the bullpen is not quite up to the role they are assigned. Funderburk didn't get the lefty out to start an inning, for example, and it snowballed. But it's not just matchups. A Duran would bump everyone down one slot and they might do better; a Jax in addition would bump everyone down two. It's water under the bridge of course but not having replacements for those two, plus trading away the best candidate to plug in for them, is the cause of the trouble with this part of the roster. Talent is the issue, until we have evidence it's not, and strategy can only go so far.

    RIOT places the Twins magic number at 140 to reach the postseason.

    I love my hometown's ballpark. Enjoy the game. Keep your eye on the ball, and after the game tell the media you're just glad to be here and want to help the team any way you can.

    Sometimes a joke is so jaw-droppingly stupid that you just have to let it go. 😁

    All you missed was a chance to listen once more to a classic from the 1960s.

    The Zen that can be explained is not the true Zen. The rickroll that contains no link to Never Gonna Give You Up is not the true rickroll.

    Twins batters: "Hold our beers."

    Brooks Lee's long-held ambition to finish a season with an OPS of .000 looks closer and closer to fruition as well.

    I will check with snopes.com to get to the bottom of this discrepancy on the Saints website.

    As for the topic, I am just glad that Garrett Spain is not shown in this listing. He would have trouble getting playing time, but was shown on the Saints roster at the milb website.

    You'll have to beat out Alex Jackson for the honors.

    Came back, was about to post the first thing that popped into my head, then stopped and said, better check I didn't get ninja'd about an hour ago or anything. Whew.
  17. ashbury
    Gotta go for a couple of hours. I'll leave it to you all to bring home this sure win.
  18. ashbury
    It is indeed. Dr Demento always had a love for the musical stylings of Rick Astley.

    Glad you could join us for this crucial, must-win game!

    Someone needs to start the Fun With Numbers 2026 thread pronto.

    Yeah, Mrs Ash tells me she hates it when you ... wait, I forget, how do these replies work?

    We could use more Byron Buxtons on the roster but a thousand of them might be overkill.

    Find out whether the problem is genetic - check his Paw.

    Treat it as bar banter and decide. 😁
