Dick talking about the roster limitation of 13 pitchers. What's to prevent a team from listing a pitcher as an outfielder? Kind of evens things out with the Angels being allowed to count Ohtani as a DH.

Yup!

[cHawk]

At least someone around here can get Jordan Luplow out.

[cHawk]

Okay what the hell? Can this team score runs like it did yesterday?

The Indian reservations in AZ do go to DST. I'm sure that makes for some confusion.

I believe it's only the Navajo Reservation in northeast AZ that switches to DST. The Navajo Reservation covers territory across three states, so to avoid confusion, they use DST across the entire Reservation. 

Interestingly, the Hopi Reservation--entirely within the Navajo Reservation--stays on standard time like the rest of AZ.

This creates a "DST donut" in NE AZ.

 

If anyone cares.

Dback announcers say Archers contract incentives include number of starts with 3 innings or more. I guess he’s guaranteed 2 point something million , and can make 9 million more. Since he’s been pitching 4 or 5 each start, he’s probably entitled to a bonus.

Likely to get him as many PAs as possible.

Not tryin startin argument but if max PA's is part of the theory then 2 days off is double inconceivable.

I never thought I'd find time as interesting as I do right now!

Two different things.  One is on a single game basis, the other is due to injury.

Snakes pitcher looks pretty tough. Not doing any better in the second time through the lineup.

Way back in my practicing lawyer days I cared.  Still do

[stringer bell]

Outstanding catch by Trevor!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not a bad catch by Larnach...

[rwilfong86]

Larnach couldn't get to that one

As for me, I'm going to stay (figuratively) hot on this (figuratively) cool day.

[stringer bell]

Too many pitches out of the strike zone. 

[operation mindcrime]

Larnach is turning into Alex Gordon out there!

File that under timezone topology to digest during my morning ruminations...

Question:  Why doesnt Buxton bat 3rd?

Because there is only one batter ahead of him in the lineup.

[stringer bell]

Day off tomorrow, so they really don't need to push Archer. Do they send him out for the fifth?

Do you need a good gastroenterologist?

[stringer bell]

Gotta get that run back and more.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh right... 

 

Laundry.

 

Be right back...

[stringer bell]

Out of town scores: The Yankees lost for the second time this month. Dodgers lead the Guardians 2-1 in the fifth.

I'm sure there are at least two whose first name is Jimmy, yes.

[Mill1634]

This game has been a snoozefest. 

[Doctor Gast]

Where is yesterday's team. Pathetic
