The Twins are the only team Lohse has not defeated. But in spite of his extensive experience he still doesn't know that you never, ever throw Dozier a high fastball.

It's time for inter-league play... It's time for the Pitcher to hit as the Twins travel to Milwaukee to take on the Brewers. Yep... Trevor May is going to hit again. The image of Trevor trying to swi

I went to look for the Stick a Fork in Meyer thread but it's not up yet. Dave must be busy, I'll wait.

Message to Alex Meyer: Look at the bright side, kid. You just made thousands of people very happy.

 

Seriously, the main thing here is to get that first appearance over with, so next time out he has a chance to control his adrenaline. He had great looking stuff today, but zero command of the strike zone. Thus, he was forced to throw it down the middle, and BOOM. Best thing for him is to get gently ribbed by Glen Perkins, then get back to work with Neil Allen.

 

Welcome to the bigs, Alex Meyer. Hitters love 'em down the middle.

Shouldn't that be less than no joy in Mudville? More than no joy implies there is some joy, however small.

I'm not sure

 

That's one of those questions that will keep me awake tonight trying to figure it out.

 

Less Than No Joy has to be a double negative.

I agree... I'm oddly encouraged... I can see he has stuff.

 

Although... 221.6 is still kinda funny.

I've had dishes in the dishwasher for a couple of days now.

They must be done... Right?

If you leave them in there about a week, all that water on top of the cups is mostly gone! On the other hand, if you do that, but forgot to start the dishwasher, there may be a new life form living in there when you open the door!

Ya know, the game's getting sorta interesting again. Six runs behind ain't impossible.

I've seen it before... I'm with ya... But I do need to get some sleep. I'll have to read about the comeback in the morning.

 

I'll leave with a thought.

 

Everyone is waiting for Sano

 

Why not Adam Brett Walker? 20 dingers now in Chattanooga

 

Good Night All

TD posters who never much liked the Denard Span trade?

 

As for the 221.60 ERA, that's what happens when you give up two home runs and then the box score doesn't have room for your 4-digit 21.60 ERA. Suitable punishment, I think.

I have installed at least 4 dishwashers, and have absolutely no idea how to load one, put soap in it, or turn it on. I have found that the less one knows, the better off one can be.

Trivia:

If a pitcher DID have an ERA of 221.6 ...

what would the number of innings pitched and earned runs be

Actually, on second thought, this doesn't look that fun, sorry........

 

ERA = ER / IP * 9

 

A pitcher would need to surrender 1,108 earned runs over 45 innings to have an ERA of 221.6

 

 

 

Yes I'm embarrassed I bothered to calculate that........

EDIT: actually there is an infinite number of solutions :)
Just answer what the lowest reducible number of IP and Earned runs would be

I'll go with 45 innings and 1108 earned runs given up. In other words, just a typical season for Samuel Deduno.

 

/ Edit - argh, you didn't wait long enough for me to compute PLUS throw in a witty witty side-comment
