In our house it's the other way around.

 

75 in summer, 68 in winter. (64 at night, except our bedroom is unavoidably colder than the rest of the house so it's probably closer to 60.)

 

My wife doesn't let me touch the thermostat.

 

This is the result of accidentally bumping it with my shoulder walking down the hall. She thought I set it at 90 and took away my privileges. 

 

I'll watch him throw scoreless innings against potent offenses all season long ;-)

Can't disagree with the results, I guess. I'll take it. Pelfry-like though.

We are 67 during the day in winter, 62 at night (thermostat downstairs, bedroom upstairs). We have daycare in the house during the day, so we have to maintain a minimum of 65. In the summer it is generally set to 74 days and 72 at night. If it isn’t too humid though, we’ll shut it off and open windows.

That's the most severe case of dyslexia I have ever encountered! :).

 

My wife is a special education teacher. She gets lots of nice compliments on her "Dyslexics are teople poo" t-shirt. 

Not that I believe gameday is gospel, but they posted consecutive pitches by Lynn at 88 MPH. One they called a change up, the other a two seam fastball.

 

If that isn’t wrong, that’s concerning to say the least.

I see 92 on the teevee radar display.

 

/ And yeah, I missed that RB ninja'd me many minutes before I even thought to post. :)

Not to mention worst case of inability to judge people.:)

Actually nice to see Sano not throw that. 

Wow, so Lynn's only going to go 4-5
Verlander is in control

 

Going to be have to be a grind it out win

I do 62 at night and have it turn up to 65 about an hour before I get up.  Depending on what I am doing, will either leave it at 65 or put it up to 68.

 

I am in an older place with radiators, so no central air, but window unit keeps it to 80ish if necessary so the fish don't die a horrific death.  At this point I am not sure it is going to be above 50 again, so that might not be an issue any longer.

why, he should have thrown it.  He wasn't off balance and would have gotten him

Lance on pace for the 202 pitch CGSHO...

Bert is aroused thinking about the potential.

It stinks that Lynn's already at 90 pitches, but he's held the MLB's best offense to 4 scoreless innings. He can't do anything about the offense's futility against Verlander.

Sano not throwing that is an error in any ballpark but TF

That was my thought as well, although it came after first thinking how that play made Sano look like a house cat that sprints into a room and then seemingly forgets why it's there.

 

A really, reeeally big house cat.

the coach is covering his mouth cause he just had a hot dog with lots of onions.

I'm actually Ok with that one... Tough play. Jake Marisnick has real good speed.

Because earlier this week we saw him make that exact play and air mail it

Throwing it would have been more likely to be an error because the replay showed he didn't have a good grip on the ball.

but he wasn't off balance, he was going towards 1, and it wasn't a slow roller.  Sano has a cannon.  He needs to throw that one.

yeah, and that would make it an error, right?  That he fielded it and didn't get hold of the ball.  that's not on the pitcher.

Would totally agree if he were running mostly toward first as he threw. But his deflection shot/leading the target thing when throwing across his body is still a work in progress.

so it's a fielding error instead of a throwing error.  either way, a guy is on base who shouldn't be.

40 years ago it would have been hard to imagine that Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones would be mainstream at sporting events. Sometimes recognition of greatness comes after the passage of time.

it didn't cost us, so no biggy either way.

No scorer is calling that no throw an error. It's a tough play

Gotta know who’s pitching. The ump isn’t going to squeeze Verlander.

That was a tough play for a MLB 3B? Agree to disagree. He fielded it.  If he doesn't get the ball stuck in his glove and instead grabs the ball cleanly and throws, the guy is out.
