    Still got a chance for the golden sombrero. Except clubhouses seem to have gotten away from awarding that, lest someone feel there's a stigma.

    There's also the saying in regular life, "your reach should exceed your grasp." Your coach's advice helps get away from coulda woulda shoulda, but at some point there's a breaking point.

    He did turn on the afterburners, once past first base, and I was afraid every leg muscle was about to explode.

    Red Sox turn around and return the favor right away.

    Real clear analysis in the moment by Morneau on that play at second base.

    Season Over.™

    Jose and Carlos thank Joe for taking them off the hook. 😀

    Miranda!?!? Terrible tag. Between Santana and Miranda we're suddenly doing our best worst ChiSox impression.

    Hoping for multiple sausage references.

    JEFFERS!!!! Why didn't one of the last three batters in the second inning think of trying that?

    Beautiful strike 3 pitch by Ryan against Rafaela.

    Plan 9 worked for the pitcher once the bases were loaded in the second inning.

    With Willi at the plate? Concur. 😀

    Dumb swings like Castro's on that 0-1 pitch could be at least a partial explanation for poor results with men on base.

    The opposing pitcher today: Criswell.

    Good two innings for Joe Ryan. I'm starting to think he's a keeper.

    I didn't post the link with that in mind, but there's a treasure trove of memories from 7 years ago. The two batters at the top of the Giants' batting order were Twins alumni, Denard Span and Eduoardo Nunez. Nunez is kind of fun to look back at. He amassed 3000+ plate appearances, yet his career WAR hovers around 0, and whatever you think of those particular metrics, the PA sounds weird but the WAR sounds about exactly right. 😀 His longevity puts him in somewhat exclusive company, as only about 2000 players ever came to bat that many times. The other side of the coin is that only about 650 of those compiled a lifetime OPS lower than Eduardo's .714.

    It happens about once a year, for some team, doesn't it? I'll go with that, and not bother to show my work, that it even kind of makes sense.* * And, if someone responds with data that shows it typically happens twice a year, or just once every other year, I can adjust my calculations to suit.

    Yes, well, I was remembering something from the past, and fortunately the TD search function works very well when you have an uncommon yet specific keyword to look up:

    Fun question and I'm here to tell you there is no simple answer. 😀

    I was thinking the same thing (and now saying it the same way as someone else), probably because it appeared in another thread or two within the past day. Been seeing it all season. Some years from now we'll run across an old thread using this term and think "that was SOOOO 2024." Maybe as soon as 2025. Yes, as others have noted in this thread, my lawn is nicely manicured and I would not like to see it stepped upon.

    He was hurting part of the time, though. 😀
