    It's amazing how much the booth, particularly G & R but K sometimes also, not only admit to a consistent flouting of speed limits but that they essentially brag about it.

    I feel safe in saying that Baty ain't making that catch.

    Games delayed In Pittsburgh, D.C., Philly, and the Bronx Cincy @ WAS just started. TOR @ PHI, and ATL @ NYY have yet to throw a pitch. But they're not delayed in Boston where the Sox are making the temporarily idle Yanquis see their 5 - 0 lead on the scoreboard.

    Sox now just 1/2 G behind the Yanx both for 2nd place in AL East and for the #1 WC slot. On June 17th that gap was 15.5 games. Three of the five AL teams above .500 are in the East. The ChiSox (+4) and Astros (+2) are the other two. Red Sox are hosting the Athletics this weekend while the Yanx get a visit from the Braves

    The premature jumping is the biggest issue right now. He's anticipating a strike out and going into his act too soon (if one of the hitters had hit an easy grounder to him it would have rolled right under his feet) which kind of kills the idea that this is all spontaneous joy. There's a bit of a post-jump part of the act too. 20

    It was, in fact, Stevie & Lindsey, back in the pre-FM days and before they took to screaming 'Go your own way' at each other.

    Is that first one Mazeroski? The second, I assume, is the Clemente bridge.

    Welcome to the Steel City where things get started at 6:40 Friday night as Zac (don't call me Zack) Thornton faces off against Carmen (don't call me Miranda) Mlodzinski [6 - 3, 3.15, 1.31 in 25 G tho just 9 starts] Cribbing partly off Coob's KTE, we won't see Paul Skenes in this series (he pitched Wednesday), or IL'd #2 starter Mitch Keller. We also won't see O'Neil Cruz, or wunderkind Konnor Griffin, or the recently DFA'd Marcell Ozuna, or RF Ryan O'Hearn. We likely Will see Luke Weaver at some point depending on the status of games when they hit late-innings. Pirates are a bunch of games ahead of us in the schedule though have hit the skids with 9 losses in their last 11 games as they've run into some tough competition lately: Yanx, Cubs, DBacks, Reds, Brewers And now bonus points to the first person to name the duo (not shown in the video) who sang backup on the studio version of this song.

    Our series of R&R HoF inspired thread titles leans on The Kinks to take us to Thursday's 1:10 start. OK so it's actually supposed to be partly-to-mostly cloudy today by the shores of Lake Erie but we're trying to reference good music here and not be a slave to meteorological accuracy. Nolan McLean [7 - 7, 3.29, 1.12] will face off against lefty Roster Griffin [12 - 3, 3.06, 1.12] in the series finale. This will be the 31 y/o Griffin's first start for the Guardians following three seasons in Japan before an off-season signing by the Nationals and a deadline trade brought him to Cleveland. Still a bit confused as to why the pitching starved Nats chose to deal away an arm in the midst of a good season with still a year-plus of team control left, but I guess they opted for the quantity over quality theory. Going for the sweep on the first weekend of August with a rested Nate Lavender in the pen. What could be better?

    They had to win that one, I already have tomorrow's IGT sketched out.
  11. Frayed Knot
    It's being played for DeLauter who is Not from West Virginia.
  12. Frayed Knot
    Well that's great/suxx
  13. Frayed Knot
    Alvarez and Lindor have yet to hit a fair ball in this game: 9 ABs, 7 Ks, 2 foul pop-outs.
  14. Frayed Knot
    1316 - Chayce McDermott 1317 - Cristian Pache
  15. Frayed Knot
    Or an error, either way.
  16. Frayed Knot
    A big 9th inning hit would be nice every once in a while.
  17. Frayed Knot
    Good thing we got Baty out of LF
  18. Frayed Knot
    Jo Adell got a bunch of hits yesterday but NYM pitchers tonight have left him rolling in the deep.
  19. Frayed Knot
    I suspect Kalshi thinks that the cool people already know what it is, so it's not a commercial for product introduction so much as it is selling it to those who simply haven't taken the plunge yet. And if nothing else they got a couple of guys to look up what their business is so it works for them there too.

    And if Yoho retires the side 1-2-3 does he then go grab a bottle of rum on his way to the shower?
  21. Frayed Knot
    This Craig Yoho guy needs to be on a team with Mike Laga and John Jaha. And then maybe they can have Lady Gaga sing the national anthem.

    Just by chance, I heard Warren Zevon's 'Excitable Boy' on the car radio today (first time in a LONG time) ... and now I know why. It was to introduce me to Jefry Yan.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Scott getting dinked to death here in the 5th and can't dance between the raindrops this time.

    That's going to be real tough because PC-A is rapidly turning into a monster in front of our eyes at the ripe old age of 24. When a guy's rep is that of a speedy glove man it's easy to think of him as a slap and run hitter. But he's now top-5 in all MLB in extra base hits (and nearly half those XBH are HRs) and he's done all this while more than doubling his walk rate just since last season [4.5% in '25 to 12% in '26]. His OPS+ in his three full years has gone from 88 to 115 to 154*. He was 9th in MVP last year. This season he might have to stumble down the stretch just to fall out of a top 5 finish. * Actually higher since he's got three hits including two HRs this afternoon (as the Cubs are kicking Dodger butt again today)

    - Brandon Sproat has been sent down to AAA. 21 G (19 starts) with a 5.27 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, plus high BB (4.5/9) and HR (1.6/9) rates will do that to a guy. - Pirates released Marcell Ozuna [.203/.286/.327]. Starting in 2023, hIs OPS+ was 140, 157, 113, ... and now 68. The Braves generally known when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.
