May i also pick to click? Buxton does nothing to quell triple crown speculation either.

One of my friends relayed an interesting detail of David Ortiz' speech. Some unremarkable person commented that he approved of what David Ortiz said, but if you happened to look up who he was, he turned out to be the FCC regulator.

Look what i found. Isn't the internet grand?

Gotta keep your bullpen on their toes. Who knows when they'll be called upon to protect a lead...

I don't read the Onion enough... I also missed my chance to proclaim my '80s heritage by pointing out the current lack of Gary Gnu in these proceedings. Now he is present in the discussion, the answer is definitve yes.

Yes. Kirilloff will get called up... eventually. Maybe even tomorrow. It would make sense. But my impression is he isn't on the taxi squad, so they may call up one of them first? Likely a position player, seeing as in theory. whole bullpen is well rested.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/04/melvin-mondays-twins-athletics-game-expected-to-be-postponed.html So says a Rosenthal tweet, per mlbtraderumors, and says we are on track for tomorrows games. (i always wondered whether people were saying untracked or on-tracked...) but all that is news, which means we have wandered off topic, and must find another example to consider to answer the question in this topics subject.

mlb seems to think Shoemaker is pitching the first game tomorrow, but otherwise knows nothing else about either game (well, maybe game time... and location)

I been wondering the same. It could be...

Maybe not literally winning the triple crown as others have more home runs, runs batted in, and at bats. And he is neither a horse nor a jockey for that matter, so isn't he winning that triple crown either. But he is playing his heart out, knocking the snot out of the ball, and avoiding the actual DL (knock on wood) so he's winning my tertiatary definition of a triple crown. And i look forward to checking in at the quarter season markers to see how he is fairing against the triple crown field...

I hope he finds his way to the majors sometime this summer. His a favorite of mine for his first two starts if nothing else. Also 1 for 1 batting record in the majors!

For those of you payingless attention than me (likely a very small subset indeed) Monday's A's game is being postponed. If all goes well (knock on wood, though it doesn't deserved to be knocked... wood is good stuff) there will be a Tuesday double header (Twosday? they write themselves, i just have bad impulse control) in Oakland, land of foul territory.

The phrase "almost think" descibes me to a t. So close, and yet so far...

I kinda assume an active nest of vampires could constitute a super spreader event. So don't knock having the vampire vector under control. And today (being Sunday) is also postponed, i assume? The Oakland leg of the trip is still in the air? If not, what is the decision?

That is that. One of these days, i want to vulture Astudillo a win!

Last chance saloon...

Turtle turns in a 123 inning.

Garver starts us off right!

Served with green eggs?

Thanks.

Other team deserves some credit, i'm sure.

6 outs to make up 6 runs. Not impossible. Er... 7.

Someday i will figure out what SMH stands for...

Kepler beats the shift!

Sano splits the difference with a shallow pop up.
