    So instead of stopping off at my usual little beer joint on the way home from work today, I thought I'd stop by the public pool and take a swim. It's June in Tucson...100 plus every day, and humidities in the single digits. So anyway, I got there, and I really had to ... pee. Can I say that here? I think so. I had to pee, so I went to the deep end, and just sort of casually let it go. Well, the stupid life guard blew his whistle at me. Loud! So loud, it scared me so bad I nearly fell in.

    I'm no Harvard honors grad, but that seems like three majors.

    I don't know if Poppen was just nervous, and this isn't his normal command, but, I am seriously impressed with his stuff.

    There was plenty of crow being served last night. Sort of a buffet line setup, where most of us wandered by for a taste at our leisure throughout the long night. Pretty gamey though, I thought. A touch on the chewey side too.

    I love the red tops. “Maple Leaf Red” I believe.

    Many teams, including Boston often last night and including sometimes the Twins, when shifting against a LH hitter, now position the third baseman at or near his normal spot, until there are 2 strikes. This takes away the free bunt, and opens the normal SS position. Otherwise, agreed. Take advantage of the virtually free base hit.

    The STrib recap says Kepler pinch hit for a "banged up" Gonzalez. I was wondering last night why he pinch hit. Hopefully nothing serious.

    not on the 40 man, is he?
  11. USAFChief
    concur.

    he swung through everything last night. In the zone, out of the zone. Fastballs. Breaking balls. Changes ups. Warm up pitches. Pitchers tossing balls underhand to umpires asking for a new ball. Pitches thrown in the bullpen. Even his warm up swings in the on deck circle drew air.

    Still a very effective LOOGY. Would be nice to have in the postseason, but tougher to carry during the regular season.

    According to the Boston papers, they had decided beforehand to limit his innings and pitches. A "mutual decision." They're trying to maintain his health over the long season. He has a lot of innings and pitches on that arm over his career.

    I think his glove was always between the ball and the wall. Great catch.
  16. USAFChief
    If he can maintain that velocity as a reliever, he should stay in the pen. Very encouraging outing last night.

    The neighbors will talk. "Yeah, she's a screamer."

    In case you missed it, Rosario tried to bunt towards third against the shift in the 17th. Foul ball, but He was pretty close to being out of the batter's box, but I think the replay showed he was still in it, tough to tell with no lines still present. Cora and the Boston bench went nuts, wanted Rosario called out. Of course, a pitch or two later he doubles into the RF corner, and that REALLY ((((((( them off I guess.
