Throws to first, guys.

Oh, right, Conforto.

Strange that Ron isn't back in the booth after being there for the first game of the series.

Keef and Gary in the booth talking about Callaway apologizing for his hook.

That IS weird. Nice to see Canó come out and get the RBI right out, but I've seen furniture hustle more down the line.

The team's most expensive player is back off the IL and in the lineup. Celebrations abound? Anybody? As this may be the last we've seen of Aaron Altherr, I just want to mention how interesting it is that his mother was a U.S. servicemember and his father a German national, which turns the paradigm of US German unions on its ear.

Long Ball 10 : BIE 9

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_7NWrlOLvrg/maxresdefault.jpg> A ninth-inning rally fell just short as The Binghamton Rumble Ponies pulled within one run and had the game-tying runner on third with none out. But they couldn't redeem him and they fell to 4-6 over their last 10, and a game and a half off the pace in The Eastern League Eastern Division that they had only just recently led. So boo. Much of that, not all, can be attributed to the roster of updraft, particularly with starting pitchers, with a bunch of Bingo pitchers, starters particularly getting booted up to Syracuse for short spells. The main exception has been Mickey Jannis, who has been spectacular in AA and a barrel of gasoline in AAA. He goes tonight to try and build on his Binghamton all-time records. So, as we've looked plenty at Knuxie already, let's take a deepr dive into the bullpen, where Adonis Uceta is putting numbers as zexy as his name. After giving up three runs over 18.00 innings over his last 10 appearances, would you believe that Adonnie has actually upped his ERA? Well, he has, raising it to 1.96. And if three runs over 18 innings is your bad spell, you're doing well. Donnie won the Sterling Award for the GCL way back in 2015, so he's a real prospect and stuff, and he just gets stingier with the homeruns every year, giving up just one this season in 23 innings total. Another reliever who'll make you a believer is a little somebody name Joseph Zanghi. J-Zee also had a rounh time in AAA, but is AA résumé is eye-popping, allowing only two earned runs in 22 1/3 innings, for a 0.81 ERA. That's good shit. He has held opponents to a .173 average against, and he's from Milton, Connecticut, so he probably gets his pitching skills from all the jai alai he plays. But these guys are Rumble Ponies, and to rumble you need bats. Before hitting the DL a day or two ago, the infielder was on fire, hitting in five games in a row, and seven of his last eight, but it's his on-base percentage all the girlies want to talk about, with his line on hold at .288 / .415 / .417 // .832. Part of the booty in the Kevin Plaweiki trade, Sam is out to prove he's no sham. I'm convinced, anyhow. So hopefully with the Mick on the mound and things stabilized on the rosters (just as I type this, top prospect Andres Gimenez hits the DL), they relaunch the assault on first place tonight. If you're in the Harrisburg area, come out and watch the glory.

It's hard to call the defense historically bad, because the strikeout rate is like 250% of the rate in 1908, to pick a year, but it's costing them games, certainly. Oh c'mon. Use your head, ferchrissakes. When the author says "historically", you know he means the seven years for which his data exists. Is there anything I write — anything at all — that doesn't really get up your ass and burn? I'd really like to spare you that.

Autumn turns to winter And winter turns to spring It doesn't go just for seasons you know It goes for everything

It sure made the writers happy to have a wheeler-dealer to cover. But it made me miss Alderson's conservatism.

Bruce last night: two homers and a double with 6 RBI. I was down on this deal on the face of it, but now that I've seen Canó, it's hard to do anything but revile it. If Canó was healthy, hitting like the top secondbaseman in the league, and somehow a wash on defense, I still wouldn't like this deal. As of now, the salary the Mets dumped is way outplaying the salary the Mariners dumped, and things look to get worse going forward. I guess I was originally hoping (for no good reason) that the second part of the deal was to flip Canó to Milwaukee or something.

There's a finite number of players on the roster. When you place such a high value on limiting your use of top pitchers, you end up over-using second tier pitchers. It's a recipe for self-sabotage.

Ramos, don't go chasing with two out in the tenth down by six. Where do they get this shit?

The key to getting more out of your bullpen: Stop asking for so much out of your bullpen. Rinse. Repeat.

It helps that the baserunner missed the plate by two feet.

Nobody can resist the regression. Starting pitching becomes less of a thing every year. Certainly Mickey can't resist it. It's heartbreaking to me. Meanwhile, did it look like San Francisco was going to challenge that call as we went to the commercial?

Yeah, but that's the Oscar-bait, because who knows if Shailene Woodley is really evoking Tami Oldham in Adrift. But we have a good idea about how well Jamie Foxx captured Ray Charles in Ray because we have have a long lifetime of Ray Charles footage to compare it to. So Rami Malek must be great, or something. What troubles me about biopics of rock stars remains that they've found one more way to milk enormous money out of the classic rock canon, but it's still nearly Herculean for a contemporary rock act to make two dimes from their original music. So, rock and roll is still big business, but only legacy rock and roll that's under glass, and owned by suits, septuagenarians, and heirs. And that's as culturally stale as it is economically unjust.
