No, just an interested bystander. Well, bysitter actually. Was a bylier for a while too. I made it to Iowa, but am sadly going back east without visiting Minnesota...

By the way, if i seem distracted from the game, it is because i have a field of fire flies to watch...

You all can have my accolades. I never know what to do with 'em.

Huzzah! I confess, i was hoping the run would become the runs, but we are not yet so fortunate...

What happened to the days of chalantness?

Game Thread: Twins vs Oakland, 7/6/16, 12:10 PM CDT
I am positive that is what gameday says. Of course it could change... And i just figured out the yellow dots next to runs/hits/errors allong the bottom indicate challenges. So neither team has used theirs...

Mr. Danny also has fielded what has come his way, if gameday is to be believed... Hope Sano can do something with his bat.

Thanks. The wikipedia article is where i eventually ended up. So I think i choose to explain it with bernoulli... There is more drag where the relative speed is greater, slowing the airflow down, causing more pressure, as per the above mentioned bernoulli stuff... But whatever it is theoretically, them smart pitching types have figured it out experimentally...

11 o'clock and all's well! Except perhaps my watch, being a few minutes slow... And perhaps a time zone issue or two. But that's nobodies fault, not even the Roman's.

Thanks! Still trying to figure out the exact spin -> tragectory change mechanism... Is it some fancy bernoulli effect thing? I guess that might make sense, then...

Game Thread: Twins vs Oakland, 7/6/16, 12:10 PM CDT
At first glance, this seems counter-intuitive, just because one would expect 0 relative speed to have 0 drag... Now you got me more confused than the space time warpage of two pinned game threads. Warpage... what is it good for?

Sorry i petered out. I hoped a 7-1 lead was relatively safe, and thought some shutteye was a good idea.

If a 2 seamer drops on the batter, so we call it a sinker, and a 4 seamer rises, then how come we don't call that an elevator pitch?

One way of getting that shut down inning. Hopefully they don't send anyone to Rochester in the middle of the game...

Milone with a strike out. How many pitches? Gameday has moved onto the next batter...

So i was thinking of visiting friends in the Twin cities soonish, but it seems unlikely to happen quite as i hoped. Oh well.
