Time to Get off the Interstate

[Frayed Knot]

As has Abreu

[Benjamin Grimm]

And so has Bobby Abreu!

Good show.

Unfortunately, with a DGaaNG lineup, the rest of these boners are riding pine.

(Do you think MLB benches are made of pine anymore? Probably some synthetic fiber/wood composite, right?)

[Ceetar]

Can't really tell in this picture, but I'm pretty sure that's synthetic.

From a dugout shot I saw the other night when it was raining, the bench did not look natural with the moisture. It made me think it was synthetic at the time.

Granderson = .200 (26 of 130)

Been a long climb son.

[Edgy MD]

Grandy at .198 right now, d'Arnaud at .200, Tejada at .204.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Granderson .205, Tejada .200, d'Arnaud .196.

[Edgy MD]

Congratulations on your escape, Curtis Granderson. You, Tejada, have also, for now, mastered the art of autoliberation.

.185	.182	.196	.167	.107
A hit in his next pinch- hitting appearance gets him to .217, and then it's off to the races. . . . . . . . . .	A promotion and a hit in his first trip gets him to .214. If this happens, I expect he'll be sent down again immediately. . . . . . . .	One hit gets him up to .204. A 1-1, 1-2, or 1-3 liberates him, as does any number of two-hit games. A 1-4 keeps him dreaming, however. . . . . .	Welcome, son, to the club you didn't want to join. There's no rule that says shortstops can't hit, Wilmer. A 1-1, a 1-2, a 1-3 or a two- hit game, and you and I are best buds.	Needs a promotion and a 4-4. IT COULD HAPPEN! . . . . . . . . . . . .

I can say no more.

Tonight's starting lineup exited the interstate somewhere between the Bronx and Flushing. Low man is Tejada at .200. I think this is a first for 2014.
