  1. Yes. It gets measured in total, so four runs in nine innings would not be considered a QS, ironically enough, even though three runs in six innings is.
  2. What's the combined monetary value of 25 mother pigs and 25 male deer? That would be 50 sows and bucks.
  3. Carry me on without me, folks. Hawkeye native needs to catch WNBA opening night.
  4. So you're saying it's not a conspiracy? /s Agree with many -- option availability and timing are key.
  5. That’s your (tied for) first place (for a few minutes) Minnesota Twins.
  6. Checking in with IT Jr. from Four Winds Field in South Bend, watching the Kernels hook up with the homestanding Cubs.
  7. Listening on the radio. How large is the crowd? Or is it just an active crowd mic?
  8. Thinking of driving out of town tonight for better darkness.
  9. I will. It's almost like he's done some things right to get this job. Meanwhile, I'm typing away on TD. 😀
  10. Things even out. Bichette got in the way and helped his team on the previous ball and Jax got in the way and helped his team as well.
  11. And now Kiner-Falefa has a chance to victimize his former team in a clutch situation.
  12. Giving Duran 1-2-3 in the order makes great sense in itself. And you just saw the additional reason it makes sense. Duran pitched in the one-run situation and Jax will have at least at a two-run lead. Otherwise, Jax gets Guerrero down a run and Duran gets the easier two-run lead.
  13. Agreed. Case of 24 Diet Dews, preferably. After all, Mountain Dew isn't just for breakfast anymore.
  14. But apparently a pretty bright baseball lifer who could have been an Ivy League nerd if he wasn't so good at baseball. From his wikipedia page: "Not only did Baldelli excel at sports, but in the classroom as well.[1] There (a college prep high school) he posted a 4.25 grade point average. On the SAT, he scored 1300, and considered attending University of North Carolina, Wake Forest University, Princeton University and Yale University.[1]" Kimmey, Will. "2002 Minor League Player of the Year." 2002. Baseball America. Electronic. November 26, 2013.
  15. Since we've all found it so helpful (and productive) to discuss what an "ace" is, we should try to do the same with "pipeline," right? 🤣 When we've got that one taken care of, we'll move on consider whether the carbonated beverage is "pop" or "soda."
  16. I think Jose, Alex Kirilloff, Trevor Larnach, the IL and even Manny Margot and Carlos Santana will let us know. As in, Lewis hasn't even been cleared to start ramping it up. They'll undoubtedly play it cautiously. It won't be surprising to see it be another month before they have to make that decision. The answer would have looked different a month ago, and I'm guessing it will look different a month from now. As Mama IT* always said, "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." But yes, it's great to see Miranda being productive and as good as they've been playing, there's still some pieces that aren't clicking on all cylinders. That's the depth they've been looking to build. *Mama IT lives in a nursing home in Iowa, so it would technically be Mama IOWA Twin. Go Hawks.
  17. Yeah, for some reason I've enjoyed tracking where Kepler's at on this list. It's not like I'm even close to being a German native, though like a lot of folks with a lot of Amish, German would probably show up a lot in my ancestry.com profile. Looking at it from time to time, it's one part, "Wow, that sounds amazing," one part, "Yeah, but there's been less than 50 players," and one part, "But it's still kinda cool." But with good old Pretzels on the list, I always have to include him. A different tidbit: Brendan Donovan is the only other German native to played this year. Unless someone else comes up or he hits some, another seven by Kepler and he will have one-third of all the homers hit by a German native.
  18. When I turn in the radio a couple hours into the game, there's always the question of whether to go back and read the Game Thread from the beginning. I usually decide based on the score. It's always fun to do in a game that's turned into a blowout, reading the angst over the lineup, etc., and seeing how things turned out.
  19. Gilbert's ERA goes from 1.64 to 2.94 in just over an hour. Not that that's as fast as my 1984 Chevette's 0 to 60 in three or four minutes, but still pretty quick.
  20. Except for November in Cancun. Before then would be helpful.
  21. Gardy's numbers have him well down the list in all categories. Except in managing. He was 1200-1280. The other three, all pre-1929, were a combined 59-123. Apparently German engineering smarts didn't convert to baseball.
  22. And oh, yeah. You may have heard this, but his parents were in the ballet! 🤣
