June 27, 201511 yr 221.6 is funnier Well, I read it on the internet, so it must be true. Hey, lookee, the comeback has begun.
June 27, 201511 yr Shouldn't that be less than no joy in Mudville? More than no joy implies there is some joy, however small. Jeez... More than no joy in Mudville... It's like an F5 tore thru Mudville.
June 27, 201511 yr 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.
June 27, 201511 yr Author 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 can see he has stuff. Although... 221.6 is still kinda funny.
June 27, 201511 yr 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.
June 27, 201511 yr 221.6 is funnierWhen you are discussing the ERA being funny - it is not a good sign.
June 27, 201511 yr Author I've had dishes in the dishwasher for a couple of days now. They must be done... Right?
June 27, 201511 yr 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!

June 27, 201511 yr Ya know, the game's getting sorta interesting again. Six runs behind ain't impossible.
June 27, 201511 yr Author 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
June 27, 201511 yr Just got back from three restaurant..... How did Meyer look? Sigh. Glad I missed it.
June 27, 201511 yr I have not been able to focus on this until now. Did it appear that May is injured?
June 27, 201511 yr Message to Alex Meyer: Look at the bright side, kid. You just made thousands of people very happy.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.
June 27, 201511 yr Why not Adam Brett Walker? 20 dingers now in ChattanoogaThey were giving him AB's with the big club near the end of spring training. They don't hand those out to just everyone.
June 27, 201511 yr Trivia: If a pitcher DID have an ERA of 221.6 ... what would the number of innings pitched and earned runs be? EDIT: actually there is an infinite number of solutions Just answer what the lowest reducible number of IP and Earned runs would be Edited June 27, 201511 yr by Hosken Bombo Disco
June 27, 201511 yr Molitor finally got his excuse for the 8 man bullpen. Good news, Duensing ERA down to 6.87 from 8.22.
June 27, 201511 yr I agree... I'm oddly encouraged... I can see he has stuff.Although... 221.6 is still kinda funny.Yes, I did the math. He would have had to give up 41 runs. (I'm probably wrong about that, too!)
June 27, 201511 yr You gotta turn it on? 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.
June 27, 201511 yr I'm taking a look at the stats, but I'm seeing that Torii Hunter isn't batting too well (.258/.319/.403). For as much as we complain about Mauer, Hunter isn't doing much better...
June 27, 201511 yr Trivia:If a pitcher DID have an ERA of 221.6 ...what would the number of innings pitched and earned runs beActually, 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........

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
June 27, 201511 yr At least it was nice listening to Uecker for a while on the radio and him talking about the fun games with the Twins. And praising guys like Zoilo, Battey, Gagne, Kirby and Tony. He even said Tony should be in the hall.
