I would think there's a definite difference between playing balls out and running up the score. Were they bunting or stealing bases up 20? I could see the logic of TLR's admonition of Yermin swinging on a 3-0. (I don't agree, I just see the logic.) Play hard, don't take advantage of the sitch. Purposefully drawing out another crooked number keeps the guys on the field longer, they start pressing to get out of the inning, make mistakes, get hurt, etc.

Schultz is probably ready to take his next start.

I am sure Caglianone, Antonacci and Teel will broker an armistice, then all change sides, multiple times.

I remember "okay bench player" as one particular glum drum put-down.

Att:31,130.

I had to look this up to verify, and yes, Nightengale's correct, here:

The Royals have been outscored 35-3 in their last 2 games.

They should have been stealing and bunting for every single run in the lineup. f*** the Royals.

So our run differential is up there with the Rays.

I live a mile+ from Devon & Western. Very good shopping. One of my favorite pics on Western - Your move, Mr. Cell.

They're billionaires. They're buying elections, killing news media, defunding education, all in an effort to throw another suitcase of money on top of the too large pile. The players? The latest Pride dust-ups show us just how sympathetic those characters are. f*** 'em all. I feel no responsibility to feign anger over any offer.

Although, they are building a dedicated soccer stadium downtown, right? Baby steps.

Pong was the biggest video game when I was a kid, and that got boring pretty quick, so we still played any game we could throw or kick a ball in the alley, parking lot or across people's front yards. American professional soccer doesn't really get the top stars, so I'd guess it's hard to develop an enduring fan base to watch American up-and-comers and world stars in their twilight. It's probably like fans coming out to watch a 45-year-old Ricky Henderson play in the Atlantic League.

There are Indian households around the north side, so I semi-regularly see kids cricketing on a playground. That's fun. They probably sit on their bikes outside the back door of their friends' house and just yell their name until they come out.

A beef laid out in the first few paragraphs was about teams that were cheap as f***. The Athletic immediately interpreted that as low payrolls, and focused on that.

No, I kind of like that being in the back of their closer's head. The Sox are like Freddie Krueger.

They don't want to face Acuña.

Acuña makes that play.

He had the glove on him when he overslid the bad.
