  1. I like giving Wisler a second inning.
  2. My first thought was, “If he gets there.” But in going back to look at it, you’re probably right. It wasn’t an easy play, but it wasn’t as tough as it looked. So on this rare occasion, Buxton cost us a run. But I think it’s also less than 50/50 that Cave takes Plesac deep.
  3. Rough inning for Wisler. Squeezed on a couple pitches on the walk. A passed ball from Tortuga. And a fly ball that Buxton is going to say he should have caught.
  4. Speaking of, is there any update on Odo? The last I heard was that he was “close” about a week-and-a-half ago.
  5. I have the same sense. For some reason, I don’t fear Chicago as much as I should. Maybe because there’s also this sense that if they don’t get hits, their defense will find a way to screw it up.
  6. See how that hustle thing works when you’re running from home to second?
  7. I’m serious. That curve ball starts out looking like it’s going to hit the “S” in the Seattle logo.
  8. And unfortunately, about 6 inches away from second, as a consolation prize... EDIT: Ninja’ed.
  9. No, really, WELCOME BACK, BYRON!!!
  10. My wife has been a special education teacher for a dozen years, and if you met her, you would soon understand why she is so wonderful at it. Her favorite t-shirt says, “Dyslexics are teople poo.”
  11. As someone who is sometimes a little CDO*, I want to make sure you refer to it properly. *That’s like being OCD, but the letters are alphabetized like they should be.
  12. Here’s the ticket stub from the first minor league game that I took my then-three-year-old son to. Why do I mention it tonight? The catcher for the Fort Wayne Wizards that day was a 19-year-old A.J. Pierzynski.
  13. I’m not sure which CGI “fan” caught Marwin’s homer, but I’m happy for him/her/it.
  14. Do we know if Romo is serving the suspension tonight?
  15. I ordered a chicken and an egg on Amazon today. I’ll let you know.
  16. I may have mentioned this before, but thanks for using the word “plethora” in this story. It means a lot.
  17. Yeah, I read it somewhere on the Interweb, so I assumed it was a done deal. :-)
  18. I grew up going to games in Cedar Rapids in the late 70s and early 80s, so it definitely brings good memories. In an earlier leaked list, Cedar Rapids made the cut, but not Burlington, Clinton, or the Quad Cities. I made my first trips to Burlington and Clinton in the last several years, and it doesn’t surprise me that they would get axed. Clinton is old, and I’m guessing they’d need to put quite a bit of money into it to bring it up to par. Burlington is community owned, I believe, and it very much had the feeling of a city park combined with the fairground grandstands. I had a wonderful time at both, but it’s easy to see where MLB would go in saying they need improvements. Dropping Quad Cities was a surprise, but I have to wonder if their proximity to the river and the regular flooding they’ve experienced did them in. A concern in dropping QC is that makes Cedar Rapids several hours from the nearest Midwest League team, so it would end up being an easy excuse to drop them later when some team wants to use another city as leverage. Cedar Rapids does have proximity to Minnesota, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Chicago going for it, but if the Twins have St. Paul, they don’t really need Cedar Rapids for rehab. St. Louis has Springfield and the Cubs have South Bend. I don’t remember where Milwaukee and the other team in Chicago go for nearby rehab.
  19. It seems like I've read that Clippard is also the first or one of the first to have 11 straight seasons of 60+ innings in relief.
