If Caveat Empor means let the buyer be ware, does Cave at plate mean let the pitcher beware? #highbrow

Rosario's turn. I do like how our team shares the wealth of first inning plate appearances.

Can't complain so far...

If they want the real answer, this indeed it. If they are impatient, i can tell them i plan to learn this little ditty...

Thanks all! The other day i got asked for my 5 year plan... I'm still thinking about it...

1. My precioussss game thread intro. It came to me on my birthday. Normally, what with the trade deadline, and i leave it to other more informed game threaders to introduce the complicated situation. But this year is weird, so it is just the unemployment deadline? Or something. 2. A favorite line from 'A Little Night Music': "Happy Birthday to Me." I don't know why, bjt it is, and it isn't even very important... But i am suppose to be introducing a baseball game, so i will change the topic to "Smiles of a Summer Night" the movie that got Ingmar Bergman internation recognition just before he made "The 7th Seal", which i keep meaning to watch in memory of Max Von Sydow, and the current pandemic... 3. But back to "Smiles of a Summer Night", which i would liken to the older pitching heavy competitive teams like our Adversary: the Tribe. Games were short, quick and to the point, like last night's game. 4. And "A Little Night Music" is full of glorious clever music, and will take longer to unfold, being how the Bomba Squad delivers. So go ahead and enjoy this weekend in the country! 5. If it weren't for the last minute, would i get anything done? And for my B-day perhaps i shall splurge on some mlb season ticket. I think i will survive having Yankees and Redsox games blacked out... Tribe: 0. Mike Clevinger ® P 1. C. Hernandez (S) 2B 2. Jose Ramirez (S) 3B 3. F. Lindor (S) SS 4. Carlos Santana (S) 1B 5.

This one's on me. Sorry i let everyone down.

Bottom of the 9th... Time for some clutch hitting!

Did we win yet?

I heard nothing. If i was paying attention, it was happened at the same time as putting Whitefield into center, so perhaps it was just how the defensive replacement shook out? Defensively, Whitefield > Cave in center, Cave > Gonzalez in right, Gonzalez > Sano at first? Was that Whitefield's first at bat? Perhaps an excuse also to see what he can do.

There's something in this... I am not sufficiently wise in the ways of the neighborhood to riff on it, though. You're makin' believe you can catch up to that trolley he sends your way? Nah... i ain't got it...

Not bad. Please remind me about Family Guy after a more hotly disputed game...

Welp. That's that. Should i be disappointed Rogers threw a couple of balls to the first batter?

Still a save opportunity... Sliver lining (like a porcupine fur coat)

Wait a minute... Did all those fans clamoring for Arraez as lead off batter finally get their wish? No Way!

Not just anyone... Duffey, i do believe.

Who'd think the fountain of youth would be there... As penance for my mistake i offer this little ditty...

Ponce De Leon... Now where have i heard that name before? Was he mentioned in the Dozier rumors back when, and ended up being traded for the not quite Dozier player they ended up getting over that off season?

2 out rbi... almost as good as the 3 out rbi.

Rosario!!!! (is there an echo here?)

I so rarely get to quote Brick Top (from Snatch): "Do you know what `nemesis' means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent." I hope we give them plenty to um... righteously retribute. That said, good to hear how good Luis Robert is. Winning wouldn't mean very much if we only played bad players...

Did we win yet?

Hmmm. First save opportunity coming up?

I do. Or at least i remember the name in a lineup or two for the Rock Cats alongside Ben Revere.
