Old school or new school ... I doubt any manager concedes a game in the 5th

That’s what I mean. Smeltzer didn’t have it tonight but was brought back out for the 5th. But ahead by three, pitching better, he was pulled (with less pitches as I recall). It’s no biggie as this looks like it might become a blowout, it’s just curious to me

Isn't the game being played in your neck o' the woods? I thought you'd be there :)

Vegas to Phoenix is an interesting drive, 300 miles with only about 20 miles of interstate, made it many times, but not this weekend

Mrs Ash and I drove that stretch of pavement to attend the AFL* last year.  The route has its scenic rewards, but I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis.

* Chief will complain I'm burying the lede if I don't amend that to say we drove down to see him and there happened to be a ballgame available.

You went to see @USAFChief...on purpose?

Remember when ‘Quality Start’ was a thing for about 3-4 years 

MadBum just turned in maybe the worst quality start ever! 

Challenge accepted!  2e916s.jpg

Bob Turley gave up 10 hits and 9 walks but only 2 runs in a 9-inning complete game.  Quality!

Celestino is hitting an empty .321. Also, I don’t see that much speed. 

Maybe it is the center fielder curse that zapped a lot of Twins last year

He’s done pretty well since the twins second run. Some hard hits but got the outs when he needed them. Quality start in my book. 2 runs in 6 innings for the twins gets you a gold star

As long as he stayed off his lawn. 

I've claimed squatters rights on his lawn.  I don't even let him on it.  @ashburyis cool though.

My only request is that he bring some scotch.  I've been advised that if I leave the lawn, @USAFChief can reclaim it for himself.  I've run dry.
