  1. Doesn't sound good. Unless they cut him off early so he can start on Saturday. And still maybe doesn't sound good. IDK.
  2. Anybody know what the N on the University of Nebraska football helmets stands for?
  3. Nice oppo double by the pull hitter!
  4. Looks like Freeland has been taking some Kershaw lessons with that little stutter out of the stretch.
  5. Nice try by Buck but too close to the line. Get it past the pitcher to where the 1B has to field it and he'll reach 99% of the time.
  6. Although Castro did a very good impersonation.
  7. If your wife is enjoying herself and you're not, you're still enjoying yourself way more than if you're enjoying yourself and your wife is not.
  8. If I were Terry Francona I'd have ordered them to quit it after it resulted in an unnecessary injury. And Kendrys Morales is no stranger to strange injuries.
  9. Going into today's game the AL has a 34-21 record in 2017 interleague play. While it's still early in the season this has become standard procedure. In 20 years of interleague play the NL has won the season series only 4 times, the most recent in 2003. This imbalance is so strong that it's highly unlikely to be a random coincidence. And what is the only significant difference between the two leagues? The designated hitter rule. While correlation and causation are two different things I don't have any other explanation. What about the DH rule gives the AL the advantage? Many baseball people feel it's easier for NL teams to adjust to playing with the DH than for AL teams to adjust to playing without it so that would not seem to be the reason. I'm hypothesizing that the DH rule somehow results in better players populating AL rosters. It may be a difference in how teams approach player development, it may a difference in philosophy of how pitchers pitch, it may be that free agents prefer to play in the AL, it may be all of these and other reasons. The floor is open for discussion.
  10. I'm not sure, but I think they've been eligible but not selected.
  11. It would be more interesting and telling to include all players drafted (or signed as international free agents) who are still playing baseball for other organizations.
  12. At our house tonight it's winner, winner, bratwurst dinner.
  13. I know it's not a big deal but I wish more managers wore regular uniforms.
  14. Looks like Molly agrees with you.
  15. I wouldn't want to pick it up with my bare hands
  16. I like and can't stand the Kwik Trip guy both at the same time.
  17. Isn't she a little young for you?
  18. For those of us of a certain vintage this is like the question: Ginger or Mary Ann? The answer, of course, is Ginger and Mary Ann.
  19. OK, kid, throw about 6 more innings like that one!
