I approve this use of the verb to crank. May we hear it frequently.

Thanks!

In play, run(s) can't be too bad... Should resolve to mean something soon.

And he did not use the Candlestick, neither. But i shall take it. Hurrah!

Dost my gameday deceive me? We be only down 2-1 in the 5th. We may potentially still take this.

And ye shall receive...

Has he tried drinking water?

Just a couple runs in the first. It wouldn't be very sporting of us otherwise, would it?

Sorry. I meant to say the number 18 still means something, it just signifies something different. In this context, it just means they had more chances to do something with the runners, than say if they had 12 total individual lob but still 7 team lob. But yeah. All triviata. Scores are what matter in the end, and we didn't. Sorry i conflated the two to begin with. Mea culpa.

I suppose comparing team lob and sum of individual lob says how long they were left there on average. If they are equal, no one got on base until there were 2 outs. If one is 3x the other, everyone got on before any outs (i actually could be wrong on how double plays work... or pick offs and sundry base running events) Anyway... what, 8 hours until today's rematch?

Yeah, numbers tend to mean what they say rather than what you want... Bu i kinda assumed it was sopphisticated enough not to charge any lob to those who don't get out... But it still rewards double players for not leaving said runner on.

Simple ar-thmatic. Part of the ars taught in pirate school. 3 bases, 9 innings, filler up.

Thanks. Not caring to see the box score, i assume this is the classic conflation of individual lob and team lob? I suppose the max total individual lob is 81 for 9 innings? so we are even shyer of our potential... Oh well. Used to disappointment.

18? We can leave more than that! Why, the theoretical max is 27!

Short is good. Thanks for doing the thread intro by the way. Enjoy being at the game!

That would be 15 points in scrabble. Admittedly, some silver linings are more difficult to detect than others...

Rosaio time! (Sorry i failed to point out Kepler time or Vargas time.)

At least he's not latterday Knoblauchin' it... How often have his throws been beat out?

So... I take it they shifted left? Then let's just hit it, right?

Did gameday actually say "Popped out to 3rd baseman Miguel Sano." Hurray for the little things in life. "And there was much rejoicing."

Most of the plays i notice he fails to set his feet, or any other part of his body for the throw. Small wonder if there is some arc. Occasionaly that is due to the need to beat the runner, but i wouldn't be surprised if he is just living the good life of a short range second baseman. How is he on the relay?

I think he used his arm.

Ah, to bring home the lumber. I bet he will get another crack at that... Hope his chin is doing okay.

There is something familiar about their catcher...

Good to hear. Does he remember how to use them?
