    The game log says Dozier's fly was to deep center. Did Dyson at least have to move back to catch it? Warning track, by any chance?

    Well, it's late in this time zone and I can't hang around for the likely 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth. Hope I'm wrong.

    On MLB's website they show Rzepczynski's nicknames as "Zep" and "Scrabble". LOL.

    Upon further reflection, while it might be a cute name for a baby, being named Stubblebeard will cause him trouble on the playground when he is a little older.

    At the age of six months, most kids are capable of throwing the spitter.

    Ah, a guessing game. Looks like you've ruled out "Barry", "Roger", "Pete" and "Shoeless Joe" as your kid's name. I'll go with "Honus".

    I'd like to hear one, if you've got it cued up.
  8. ashbury
    We can look forward to some web-gems the rest of the game?

    Just what are you trying to suggest about my humble contribution?

    Carnac: "The Mendoza Line." Ed: "The Mendoza Line"? Carnac: "The Mendoza Line." Ed: "The Mendoza Line." Carnac: I, Ed McMahon... Ed: Pardon me, your Magnificence? Carnac: Oh, I just thought, if you were going to repeat everything I said, I'd get you to put me in your will. Ed: I am sure that my meager savings would be a pittance in comparison to your vast wealth. Carnac: NBC has been most generous. Ed: On the other hand, I have only the TWO ex-wives. Carnac: May you walk a mile under a diseased camel. Ed: Let us not go there, after all, your Magnificence. Carnac: You are wiser than you look. Ed: Would you be so kind as to open the hermetically sealed envelope? Carnac: (opens envelope) "What does Byron Buxton no longer have to stand in, at Mendoza's Restaurant?"

    I think someone won Post of the Day honors earlier in the thread, using that theme. Let me go research that and get back to you...

    That would be a half-note, which wouldn't be half bad.

    Better than playing pretend music.

    FTFY

    Now let's try getting it past the outfield.

    Did you foresee the lazy fly ball by Rosario?
  17. ashbury
    Buxton uses his speed to stretch that twobase hit into a double.

    My reverse jinx to start the game is not working. Quick, someone reverse my reverse!
  19. ashbury
    Allegedly.

    Twins batters need to pound this 27-year old rookie. I took a look at his b-r.com minor league page, and nothing about him says he should even be in the majors, much less sporting a gaudy ERA even in Small Sample Size. He's given up 14 runs in his 29 innings, but 5 were unearned, which seems like a lot. His Fielding Independent Pitching number is 5.42, more in line with his 4'ish minor league ERAs over the years. We should pound him, I tell you. Which means, of course, our boys will make him look like Cy Young tonight.

    A tall guy whose last name looks like it translates from some Germanic root to "upper/over". I like it. He and Max Kepler can kid around about it, if he makes it to the majors.

    Exactly. Every game counts, when you are discussing pennant races and end-of-season awards and so forth. But when forecasting, sometimes it's wisest to just give a guy (or a team) a mulligan for the first portion of a season. There's a danger that that turns into cherry-picking, but there's a reverse danger of continuing to factor in bad results when a partial correction may already have occurred. My interpretation of this year's stats is that we have a light-stick gold-glove in centerfield, not a sub-mendoza black-hole in the batting lineup. A fairly empty .240 BA in center doesn't lead a team to a World Series, but good teams live with that if they must, especially if there is still room for growth. This mark of a good player sticks in my mind: "he can beat you, even on days he's not hitting". Byron can kind of do that.

    It depends on whether he is pressing because he is having trouble with pitch recognition, orhe is having trouble with pitch recognition because he is pressing.Such a chicken-and-egg question is not something that can be guessed confidently at a distance, and is probably a bit difficult close-up too. But I'll still guess that it is the former, in which case a trip to AAA would be of limited value; he just won't see enough major-league stuff there to do him good.
