Interesting, Joe Ryan is a former water polo player. Something in common with Abbott on our ACL team.

Game winning double for Mondesi in bottom of 9th.

No DSL game on the 14th?

I was hoping it would be Lambert, been throwing well of late, getting healthier. But they probably want to keep him in the rotation down there since he is recovering from injury, so it would make sense. But Burdi, ouch.

Anyone know why Bilous was pulled after 2 innings yesterday?

He pitched today and had 1 perfect inning with 2 Ks.

Buddy Bradford a long time ago was a Spring Training sensation for two or three seasons in a row. Never amounted to much during the season. When I think of spring sensations he just always comes to mind. Late 1960s.

Long ago, but Carlton Fisk, Greg Luzinski. Albert Belle.

Duvall or Pham, can either play RF?

If Abreu stays in the shape he was in this season, the best he has been in since with the team, then I do not see much regression either.

Mets tried to get permission to talk to Brewers GM, Stearns, and Brewers told them to pound sand.

Minnesota also told Elizabethtown they were done.

Heh, yep, Dave Cash used to play a nice 2B for the Pirates. Could hit too.

What about the Blackout game?

Don't feel bad, these 64 year old eyes also thought ball was in his bare hand.

Encarnacion had one robbed by Buxton this year.

I read several articles covering that Sports Illustrated article on the Phillies Dalton Gang. Headed by by Turk Farrell and made up of other pitchers from the staff, Jim Meyer was one, Don Caldwell was one for a short time. They were imfamous stay out all night, beat up people in the bar, just rip roaring mean drunks who were all tougher than hell. Farrell was the leader of the gang. https://vault.si.com/vault/1960/06/13/the-dalton-gang-rides-again https://seamheads.com/blog/2016/03/11/the-last-ride-of-baseballs-dalton-gang/ https://tht.fangraphs.com/the-turk-the-bear-the-bird-outlaw-night-riders/

There was that Water Polo guy, Sam Abbott. He was a 1Bman. Zangari. Jameson Fisher. Tyler Osik, I guess Fisher played some outfield, but the others were just 1Bmen.

Garver had a huge year last year. Kepler seems to be regressing with the bat and now he is hurt I think. They let Schoop and Cron go, Tigers picked them up and Schoop has helped them a lot. Rosario has not taken the next step up, seems to have hit his level.

Skubal with 3 perfect innings vs Twinkies thus far

The guy has owned the Minnesota Twins this season.

He does remind me so much of when Claudell Washington used to be out there. Maybe some Alex Rios too.

In his save I believe he struck out all 3 batters in the 1 inning.

EE is day to day
