    In the movie, Ray Kinsella was from NY and went to school at Berkley, so soda would probably be accurate. (He didn't do a very good job of becoming midwesternized.) At least it's not someplace where everything is a Coke. "I'll have a coke." "What kind." "Sprite."

    I met him this past spring - I was umpiring and he was helping coach one of the high school teams in Lawton, OK. I didn't recognize him at first - he introduced himself as just Butch when he came out to coach first base. A bit later, I heard one of the kids call him Coach Huskey, and it clicked. He seemed like a good guy and the kids all seemed to like him. He still looked like a ballplayer - maybe more so than when he was playing. (He always looked a bit heavy back in the day, but that might have been the 10 lbs. the camera adds plus 10 lbs of muscle from being in pro athlete shape.) RIP. It was an honor sharing a field with him.

    He has been underpaid for his whole career. Now that he is about to reach free agency, I'd say fair market value would make him happy.

    Tell him to bring a bat.

    Where is Brian Duensing when we need him?
  6. gil4
    I had to think about that, and somehow I ended up with pine tar on my keyboard

    Now we know the answer
  8. gil4
    I'm pretty sure he is. I think there was a video of him getting a K with one in a recent minor league report.

    Not quite - his request was plural.😎
  10. gil4
    No kidding. He actually did research - makes those of us who just read half the article before posting look bad.

    The half-full waterlogged one.
  12. gil4
    Give it to the official scorer

    That was awesome, and reminds how I learned to patch, tape, and mud after a party I had while my parents were out of town about 43 years ago. 😎 They would never have known, except I had to borrow some drywall from a section in the basement that wasn't as inconspicuous as I thought.

    We can't have the glass half full answer without getting the glass half empty answer, too. TD rules.

    You have some pretty solid sources

    I hadn't been paying attention, but Jax has had a run of pretty good starts. His last four have been exactly 5 innings in each start, a total of 5 runs allowed (2 earned). We'll see who stays effective and, more importantly, who stays healthy.

    Don't we usually have coaches throw batting practice? Oh, bullpen. Pass.
  18. gil4
    Don't give him a hand-me-down from Buxton. Get him one that works.
  19. gil4
    His first 10 pitches he only threw 2 strikes, so 17/40 was progress.
  20. gil4
    We better recover this onside kick

    I was wondering that about the guy Arizona brought in from the pen. They must have more injuries and less depth than us, because he hasn't been good anywhere. Had most of that typed before the slam.
  22. gil4
    That was quite a year last year. This year is pretty good, but last year he had to be in the MVP race. 50 HR, 1.025 OPS. Not too shabby indeed.
  23. gil4
    Trying to give us all heart attacks.
  24. gil4
    I sure hope it was nothing
  25. gil4
    It wasn't easy, but he got through it. 93 pitches now, so he's probably done.
