    Well, McLean didn't get the 'W' but it was still just the second win in eight McLean starts this year.
  2. Frayed Knot
    It means you're a superstar among posters ... or something like that.
  3. Frayed Knot
    I thought we'd see Williams for bottom 10.
  4. Frayed Knot
    A good inning was looking like a great inning ... and then it crashed on two straight pitches.
  5. Frayed Knot
    Vientos doubles on the first pitch of the 10th, and my first reaction is to think, cool., we've got the leadoff hitter on ... not even thinking of the runner already on 2nd. So five years in and I'm still not used to this whole ghost runner thingie. But, as we all know, the visiting team needs more than one run in the clown car era.
  6. Frayed Knot
    1-2-3 for Williams on just eight pitches.
  7. Frayed Knot
    Not even threatening to score a run.

    An article in The Athletic today about how the banning of the shift did NOT bring the base hit back. I didn't dive into it but it shows that sometimes the result of what you think you're going to get isn't always the case.

    Two outs on four pitches for Raley.
  10. Frayed Knot
    Talent like that can't be contained by just one band. Eventually it needs its own outlet.
  11. Frayed Knot
    We're very good at pop-outs tonight.
  12. Frayed Knot
    Which is fine considering it's nowhere near the post-season.
  13. Frayed Knot
    As mentioned by Gary in the telecast tonight, he's given up 29 runs this season (23 earned) but 8 of them came in 1/3 of an inning which certainly skews things a bit.
  14. Frayed Knot
    My expectations definitely had fewer U's in it.

    This song from the AM radio era of my youth suddenly jumped into my mind for the first times in probably multiple decades. I think my sister owned the 45

    Puck drops at 9:40 tonight, ugh! We do get a break tomorrow, though, as it's a FOX game so sked for 7:15 EDT Then after tonight there are just four west coast late starts left in the season: MON/TUE June 1 & 2 in Seattle followed by FRI/SAT later that same week in Sandy Eggo. Between this road trip and that one we actually get a road stint that doesn't cross multiple time zones [Nats and Marlins May 18-24]

    Just spitballin' here, but getting six hits (5 singles) and going 1/9 w/RiSP while issuing seven walks doesn't seem like a winning formula anywhere but particularly not in Coors. Running out of both mound visits and ABS challenges before the 6th inning was out didn't help neither.
  18. Frayed Knot
    You're probably morphing together him and Billy Wagner; two smallish, hard-throwing relievers with great primes mostly for NL teams before spending their later years on a series of short stints with multiple clubs including, eventually, the Mets.
  19. Frayed Knot
    We needed to get thru the 7th ... and we have!
  20. Frayed Knot
    To answer Gary/Keith's question, 100 XBHs has occurred 15 times by 12 different players: Ruth, Gehrig (x2), Barry Bonds, Chuck Klein (x2), Todd Helton (x2), Albert Belle (he also had 99), Hank Greenberg, Stan Musial, Sammy Sosa, Rogers Hornsby, Jimmie Foxx, Luis Gonzalez,
  21. Frayed Knot
    I agree. The LF was getting rid of the ball about the time Benge was reaching 3rd. Now it was lousy throw but, of course, you don't know that at the time ... and now he winds up scoring anyway!!
  22. Frayed Knot
    Alvarez manages to avoid hitting into a GiDP in a potential GiDP situation!!!
  23. Frayed Knot
    > 2-1/2 hours just to get thru 5 innings ... and although that's a lot quicker than it would be for the pre-speed-up rules, this one is not exactly sailing along, especially for a low scoring game.
  24. Frayed Knot
    x 3
  25. Frayed Knot
    And now a one-out triple by MJ Melendez capped by a very stylish head-first into 3rd.
