    Yep. With Bauer going tonight against Hill, this is the "if we win it, we're lucky" game of the series, which is why you pull out the stops and get game 1 in the bag, even if it means using May, Romo, and Rogers. And don't forget Adrianza if we're down six.

    My understanding is that the three playoff games last year counted toward his suspension, so he is eligible after six more games. That is next Monday. He has thrown enough pitches in simulated games to step into the rotation. I look for: 25th: Hill (Cle) 26th: Berrios (Cle) 27th: Dobnak (Det) 28th: Bullpen (Det) 29th: Maeda (Det) 30th: Hill (Det) 31st: Berrios (CWS) 1st: Dobnak (CWS) 2nd: Pineda (CWS) 3rd: Off 4th: Maeda (Det) 5th: Hill (Det) 6th: Berrios (Det) 7th: Dobnak (Det) 8th: Pineda/Odo (or bullpen, if Odo not yet ready) (St.L) 9th: Off 10th: Off 11th: Maeda (Cle) 12th: Berrios (Cle) (skip Hill, unless he’s pitched well) 13th: Dobnak (Cle) 14th, following: Continue with two or three of Hill, Pineda and Odo, in either a five- or six-man rotation as health allows. While using Pineda could be used on the 31st, holding him off until the 2nd allows for lining up Maeda/Berrios/Dobnak for the remaining Cleveland series. That assumes no more line drives up the middle or other injuries to pitchers, but it’s good to flesh things out for a couple weeks in the best-case scenario.

    With his eighth straight game with an extra-base hit, Sano joins Nos. 3 and 6 in doing so.

    I agree with your assessment, but this is a category where it's okay to have a tie!

    Yes, with the Orioles returning to being the Orioles, it feels like the AL playoff field is set, with only the seedings to be determined. Six teams are at a .407 percentage or lower and the Orioles are sliding. Six are at better than .600, and the Astros are climbing. And the Blue Jays are in the middle at No. 8. Sure, a five-game winning or losing streak can change things, but the list of which team is in which group is pretty much what we expected. But what I'm most struck by is that most of us can probably point to all the places where we're not playing up to potential, yet we're in first place in the division, a game off the best record in the league, and have the league's best run differential. To me, one of the best marks of a good team is when you are winning despite not playing well.

    So apparently if last week was the 4-2 weekend, this is the 7-2 one?

    Among the bizarre stories about this guy, that one is among the most bizarre. That, and the one where he got a million dollar check and framed it, saying that he’d always wanted to be a millionaire. When the team checked on the status of the check, they suggested that maybe he could frame a photocopy of it.

    If I was in Kansas City, I guess I’d need to go to Gates, since Arthur Bryant’s apparently doesn’t have chicken on the menu.

    Adding to the conspiracy theory, the Royals’ announcer just said that Soler has the KC record with five catcher’s interferences.

    I remember Doug Ault in the late ’70s, but I’m pretty sure he’s not the HOFer.
  11. IndianaTwin
    I’m only 5-11, but that’s pretty fair in height.
  12. IndianaTwin
    I’m thinking I want an Orange Jouleius.
  13. IndianaTwin
    That was ball four, not strike one. Which makes the DP stink even more.
  14. IndianaTwin
    Nice. Let’s get a couple more and warm up Coulombe.
  15. IndianaTwin
    Like he said.
  16. IndianaTwin
    The FS1 version had it. It was borderline. Certainly not egregious to call it a strike.

    Anyone know the meaning of the tattoo on Kepler’s right arm. Is it “030”?
  18. IndianaTwin
    Correct. And only four last year, so he’s close to matching that total.
  19. IndianaTwin
    Frosty the Sano-Man! Thumpety, thump, thump...

    Best wishes, Twinssporto. I’ve often said that I loved being the parent of young kids, I loved being the parent of middle school kids, and I loved being the parent of high schoolers. But I really love being an empty nester. It truly is a gift to be able to relate to your kids as adults and “mostly good people” in their own right. Your job’s not done, however. Hopefully you have many more years of being their dad. I also hope you get the car unpacked just in time to head out to KFC for a late supper in about three hours.
  21. IndianaTwin
    Not since Monday.
  22. IndianaTwin
    I'm much more in favor of Sweet Baby Ray's on the ad board, by the way. Had some smoked pork belly and pulled pork for supper, with some leftovers in the fridge for tomorrow.

    Odo = bruise.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Though it's bad form to quote/answer yourself, I'll take a shot. Because we swing at pitches six inches off the ground and around our neck?
  25. IndianaTwin
    If the Tigers can score seven runs in an inning, why can't we?
