Not sure sending Lindor with no outs was the best move -- even a decent throw gets him -- but it worked.

Somebody in the booth said it was a scouting-report send. I was kind of suspecting that.

and the booth had to interrupt their thought so we could go to the studio to hear about some gambling-sponsored thing. come on

Not to lose sight here on a west coast trip, we are going to the bottom of the 8th in a 13 run game after only 2 hours and 15 minutes. the pitch clock may create some bad headlines and we all hope it doesnt decide a big game, but its been pretty good most of the time!

I'm seeing Brigham warming up and wondering if we're ever going to get to see this Edwin Uceta guy.

What am I missing with these 4/20 references?

[Edgy MD]

Four-twenty is a slang term for marijuana consumption. It's origin and derivation aren't 100% clear, but it is widely believed to be a reference to meeting at 4:20 PM (presumably after school) to get high. The term appears to have originated in California in the seventies, but didn't seem to get national traction until decades later.



Things being what they are, and the squarest of the square wanting to be part of a winking, not-so-inside joke, it has led to 4/20 (the date of tonight's game) being sort of considered a day to celebrate pot smoking. And I guess making opaque references to it makes the guys on the air feel less square.



SNY is always thinking about the kids.

Some pothead must have been too stoned to realize they scheduled their holiday to coincide with Hitler's birthday.

I had to google it yesterday when reading it on facebook a few times.

4:20 was probably around the time detention was let out.



I wouldn't know, as a model student I never served detention.
