    How about what gymnasts use for high dismounts/falls?
  2. VivaBomboRivera!
    Maybe the club needs to look into improving the wall padding's ability to absorb impact?

    The guy has some pretty impressive clutch splits. Hits particularly well vs LHP.
  4. VivaBomboRivera!
    Feeling better about Son of Flash?
  5. VivaBomboRivera!
    But it sure felt like 30!

    More on Roger Angell's contributions to baseball, and a bibliography. For those of you who missed it, the opening pages of his coverage of the 1987 and 1991 World Series (limited snippets so they don't raise copyright issues).

    Anybody remember a while back when Royals pitching looked like it had a whole lotta upside and just owned the Twins? With a quarter of the season in the bag, that staff is now 15th in the AL in R, ER, ERA and SO, and 14th in H and BB. We caught them at the right time.

    Interesting to see him keep dropping that 75 mph curve right in the middle of the zone and watch KC batters keep looking at it. Wonder where they think it's going?

    Let Correa do what he is being paid to do (so very well). This kid will be back in the bigs very soon.

    Cold showers at Target Field. Hope a few lessons sank in!

    You get a like for the lede alone! ?

    Are more batters being hit by pitches in the past five or ten years than previous decades? Need to run some numbers, because getting plunked used to feel like a rare, or deliberate occurrence. HBP seems to be in every box score these days...

    A 12 - 9 April is a real achievement, particularly given where we were last year, but also historically. Relying on memory rather than checking years previous, but usually this club started slow in the first month, then broke out in May and June in many of their best years. 15% of the season is not enough to tell where the club is going just yet, but they are red hot right now with considerably more upside than down. It would be fair for critics to say they would have done things differently, but if this success holds, management should get considerable credit for this off-season rebuild.

    Back to reality. See you at the ball park again tomorrow.

    There is now little reason not to believe Derek Falvey's statement that this team will compete this season. Results so far support it, with room for improvement, of course. This infield defense is going to keep us in many more games than 2019 and 2020, and should be better than 2022, as well. Kepler's OPS up .240 in two games. I'm Maxxxing out!

    There's a lot of looking gift horses in the mouth here for a team that has just posted its first winning record of the season. Are we having fun yet?

    What's blue and rhymes with, "buzz saw?"

    Dear Byron, Caleb, Emilio, Gio, Luis, Miguel and Ryan, Today's loss was a team effort. Please follow Doctor Bombo's ten-point prescription to prevent further downers like this game. Neatly fold your rain-soaked, muddy uniforms Stack and place them in a heavy duty, 2-ply trash bag Put the lineup card and box score on top of the stack Collect all game balls and put them in the bag; do not use for BP or sell in the gift shop as "game (ab)used" Seal the bag tightly with duct tape Place the bag in the Target Field dumpster Secure the dumpster lid tightly to deny carrion any access Turn 180 degrees, walk away from the dumpster without looking back Have someone drive you home, sleep at least eight hours Enjoy a big, hot breakfast with your loved ones Stick 'em tomorrow! One more item 11. for Miguel. The next time you see Roy Smalley in the ball park, chat him up. Bring Max with you.

    I could learn to love this year's model. Not great at every position, but solid, with room to grow.
  23. VivaBomboRivera!
    By the end of the year, every guy in the 'pen will give up two runs in an inning at least once. Let's get over this.

    Understand the pinch, and not suggesting anything. It's the call of those of you who own the site. Without uniform user data privacy laws in major jurisdictions it's a devil of a choice to make. There is no going back to the days of internet advertising without scripts, trackers and cookies (how many people remember hit counts?). Now that I understand that "caretaking" = subscribing as an alternative to ads, I'm inclined to subscribe. See you at the ball park!
  25. VivaBomboRivera!
    Thanks. I did not see that part. Please have a like. Unfortunately, I also missed, "Caretaking is subscribing to the site..." Misunderstood that term to mean that it was just a supplementary form of income to the ads. One or the other is an improvement. Subscriptions and no ads for all would be the ideal state of affairs, given the corruption in online advertising. However, that is a call for the people in charge of this sites books.
