  1. Great report- thanks again! It's nice to catch up and see how the young-uns are doing, plus I got to learn about a couple of names unfamiliar to me so far. But you have to admit- there is simply no better ballplayer name than Willie Joe Gary, Jr! I've been following him all year, and been really impressed! Go get it, young man!

  3. Here's one more in-depth. Pretty entertaining, too! https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/08/04/can-you-throw-inside-wackiest-inning-nationals-season/?utm_term=.2b1544a6ea4f
  4. Yikes- One of the shakiest nat'l anthem renditions in recent memory. Nails, meet chalkboard.
  5. Well. It's 2AM here, and thank you, Jerry Bell, for helping me get to sleep... Zzzzzzz.....
  6. That's very sad to hear. He never made it to the Show, but he battled his tail off in the minors for years. What a tragedy to be taken away far too soon.
  7. For God's sake....
  8. Heh... I just had to look at the highlight- Escobar hits a dinger off Dozier-- behind the plate? Kurt Suzuki An ex-Twinkie-palooza!
  9. I miss the heck out of him. Not so much Dozey. Boy, how's that gonna play in that 'ex-Twins in the Boxscores' chat?
  10. Unfortunately, those loose items are the ones coming out of the bullpen all too often.
  11. It's called the Bomba Polka

  13. Cheslor, Hunter, and Whit- the Omegas are always a gang to be reckoned with.
  14. Dyson's first couple of outings- not great, to say the least. Meanwhile, Jaylin Davis 1st game with his new mates? 3 for 3, 2 doubles, 3 RBI. **Edit** Just checked the box score for Sacramento- 1-run game, closed out the last 2 innings by a tall, skinny kid named T. Rogers...

  16. Omg, Castro. Saving bacon there. **Edit** For a moment.
  17. When brain cramps happen, they sure are contagious. Sano trying to help out his pitcher and doing too much on a tough play, then ffs, Adrianza not going after that errant throw. Took forever for the RF to get to it.
  18. Well. So far, Dyson is nothing if not consistent.
  19. I'm totally fine with Pineda being pulled. I was hoping they'd pull him earlier- nearly every out was a screamer; they were squaring him up big time, but a lot of at-em balls. But Dyson- come on. Yes, he's a pro, and a seasoned vet at that. Yes, he hadn't been out for 3 days or so, so he wasn't overused. But for God's sake, he just got off the plane and to the park in the MIDDLE of the game! He knows the org. gave up a bucket of good prospects, he knows he has to prove himself, Of course he's going to feel added pressure to make perfect pitches and make the team feel justified in getting him. Seasoned vet or no, that's got to amp up the pressure on anyone. And here you go, 9th inning, against a team that's knocked him around pretty good the last couple of years. The fact that May is still doing penance for his latest meltdown(s) is ridiculous. What better place to use him than one inning with a 3 run lead? Let the new guy at least get his uniform sized right. He obviously hadn't even thrown 1 pitch to his new catcher until he took the mound. I don't get the rush to toss him in the pond. Instead, we burn Rogers for the 3rd day in a row, and used 3 extra innings of the BP. (well, technically not a full 3...) This is what good teams do. If the hitters go quiet, the pitchers step up, and vice versa. The Twinks have often done just that many times this year. Houston did their job against the Tribe, taking 2 of 3. We should have swept and picked up an important game. Rocco, I love you man, appreciate the job you're doing, but this one is on you.
  20. My gosh, Big Mike -- Those 4 innings were like a death-march. Maybe have him take a seat now, Rocco.
  21. Bats gotta win this one. Pineda is no great mystery today.
  22. Heh.... Marlins have a pretty good team in the booth- Jeff Nelson with a lot of good analysis and tales. But they were going on in pregame about how giving up solo homers aren't such a big deal. Then the play-by-play guy noted that Max's shot was also just another solo home run. Ummmm.... he was kind of leading off the ballgame, maybe that's why?
  23. I love the Max-man. What a way to start this game against a good young hurler. But- been wondering for a long time now why he isn't in the 3-hole. Especially with Arraez looking like a prototype leadoff man. except for that being fast thing...
