  1. Kepler showing Keller the importance of "p" as the third letter of the last name.
  2. Yes. He reminds me a bit of Pedroia, for example, though Luis lacks the same power.
  3. If Cleveland gets that call, is he a Guardian Angel?
  4. I love Jeffers because he is intense, but he always looks like he is enjoying himself.
  5. Ouch! That strike three was really strike 3, but cruel on the hitter!
  6. Good baserunning from Urshela to get to second despite not being a burner.
  7. Has anyone seen an analysis of how many of Sanchez's record-pace doubles would have been cheap homeruns in New York? It makes sense that when you move from a little-league park to a real major-league stadium some of the HR --> 2B.
  8. Buxton catches that. Celestino probably catches that,
  9. The absence of a certain Senor Perez in the lineup should lower KC's expected run production against the Twins by about 2 per game. Nice timing for him to be on the IL.
  10. 6-1 in the second against Balazovic, all earned; two doubles and a homer against him. Two errors already, including one by Kirilloff at first. This is not even a decent Saints team right now.
  11. He's now in the field at SS. Made a nice attempt at a play. Balazovic has given up more runs than outs so far in the first inning.
  12. Each time got 12 hits against real pitchers. But the Twins got 7 more runs!
  13. Perhaps to the tune of "Impossumble Dream"?
  14. Pitch speed or "rebound velocity"?
  15. Looks like Oakland is auditioning to join the Central Division. Maybe they could move back to KC.
  16. It was a semi-serious question. It seems like the strike zone has been migrating downward for decades.
  17. This is a short-term move. It's not like they have traded him for Matt Capps.
  18. Max played a lot of 1B in the minors. Given his general athleticism, I imagine he would be very good there. Those ballet genes will be useful at times handling the tricky footwork.
  19. What if that's not the nature of his injury? We are accustomed to players getting completely hurt and getting completely healed. It doesn't always happen that way. Are there are injuries that allow less-than-full activity without further degradation, but wouldn't be fully rehabilitated with full rest? I think so. I nursed my balky knees through 10 seasons as a soccer referee by working 5-6 games a week rather than 10-12.
  20. Why is Buxton leading off all the time? Yes, once in a while he gives us one run with an early homer, but he is a free swinger (he and his teammates saw one pitch in that at-bat), doesn't walk a lot, never tries to steal when he gets on base, and his approach at the plate is all about slugging percentage rather than OBP. Middle-of-order hitter, not lead-off hitter,
  21. Thanks! If/when I get back to TF, I'll be sure to look for it.
  22. A ballpark is really a meagre place for a vegetarian. (Unless you are at a Forest Green Rovers' match! England's (world's?) only vegan football club.) Pretzels and nachos and not much else since I'm not supposed to eat a lot of ice cream.
