  1. I would have preferred not seeing Rogers, but... *Only threw 25 pitches since last Saturday. *Had warmed up earlier. *Lefty starting the inning in the middle of the order. *If two guys get on, you’re going to go to him anyway, so this way he starts the inning clean. *Berrios goes tomorrow and everybody but him** will be available. *Off day Monday. *Opportunity to step on their throat and guarantee the series win. Blowing a game like this would be huge. **By only going 8 pitches, Rogers may still be available for a batter or two in a fireman situation tomorrow.
  2. Probably the same guy that’s on the Cleveland broadcast.
  3. Parker has only thrown 15 pitches. Run him out there again, especially with at least four runs.
  4. The wheels on the Bux go ‘round and ‘round!
  5. Second time in two nights that Allen has been hit on the shin. And both times he bent down into it.
  6. Nope. Has 117 pitches and would be facing Kepler again. But, yes, it turned into a Quality Start, which is an impressive showing for how it began.
  7. Concur. He’s got potential, so a team who is somewhere around 5th-10th in the waiver claim list may well be willing to give up a lottery pick for him. Let’s get a Smeltzer-type, or a Littell.
  8. From the Cleveland broadcast, Michael Cuddyer is the last player to hit five homers against an opposing pitcher in a season, getting John Danks five times. No Cleveland pitcher had ever given up five in a season to a single player.
  9. Muncy just has 62. Baseball-reference.com lets a person search by birthplace. As for Europe, he’s third. Didi Gregorius was born in The Netherlands and has 92. The all-time leader is Bobby Thomson with 264, one of which was was heard around the world. And here’s my favorite trivia about this clip. The famous audio of Russ Hodges is from the Giants’ radio broadcast. Doing TV that day? Ernie Harwell.
  10. With his 79th, he’s still trailing Alvis at 111. The bigger challenge may be to stay ahead of Muncy’s 62. He recently passed West at 77 and Carey at 70. And then there’s Bishop (41), Flack (35), Venable (18), Marshall (15), Ramirez (4), Macon (3), Rosenfield (2), Scherzer (1), Stassi (1), Moroff (1), Surkont (1), Butcher (1), and Fiske, Lanier, Fried, Povse, Wilson, Leon and St. Pierre, all at 0.
  11. Now at 20.6 percent. Barring more homers by Aaron Altherr or someone else coming on to the scene, he needs only 225 more to hit the 50 percent mark.
  12. I was thinking of checking if there are players from other European countries still ahead of him...
  13. And with those two homers, Der Schlagger just tied and now passed Mike Blowers to become all-time home run leader among those born in Germany.
  14. But if you want to discount the three Twins runs as not being deserved, you have to do the same with the two Cleveland got that weren’t deserved, and then our two solo homers beat their one. Was it their best audition for the Tom Emanski video series? No. But it was well-played in terms of battling their tails off and picking each other up.
  15. Bringing in May when it’s 3-1 and there are two runners on seems like confidence in his ability to get out of the inning. May now has given up one run in his last 10.1 innings, and three in the last 16.1, with an opponents’ OPS around .550 during that time (almost two months).
  16. Thieres, did you really have this posted seven minutes after the final pitch? Wow!
  17. Every time I read this, I think it’s going to get boring. But every time I read this, I think, “Holy crap, this is incredible.” Thanks for doing these. I’m curious (and too lazy to look it up). What are the teams they are trailing? If it’s easy, how about adding a “next up is the ______ team at ____”?
  18. With 25 pitches, most likely, though with so many days off, I could see a batter or two in a key situation. But it sure would be nice if Odo and friends make that question irrelevant. (In a good way, of course.)
  19. The wheels on the Bux go ‘round and ‘round.
  20. Coming into tonight... Yankees catchers (Sanchez, etc.): 20 HR, 60 RBIs. Garver just gave the Twins 25 and 66.
  21. Where tennis is also mentioned, when Joseph served in Pharoah’s court.
