nice bb, eddie.

nice catch, eddie.

mr front-page news in the washington post: Eddie Rosario, who defines himself by big moments, emerges as the Braves’ postseason star https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/10/23/eddie-rosario-braves-postseason-star/

good thing danny santana isn’t still with the braves or it’d be 20-2.

in a different time zone.

eddie rosario still gettin it done.

eddie rosario gettin it done.

buy low, sell high.

i agree with the pay him/sign him crowd. HOWEVER! how can he have zero triples over the last two years and 101 games?!?!

gant's nickname should be mudcat.

my ‘60s experience was somewhat different, ashbury. it was ALL about ripping open that 5-cent pack and rifling through the five minty-fresh cards in hope of finding killebrew, oliva, tovar or the ever-elusive mudcat grant — and the unique thrill when it actually happened. i do agree that it had nothing to do with asset appreciation. but i’d like to think that today’s 10-year-old kid can still find total satisfaction in seeking a similar needle-in-a-haystack thrill.

anyone for tennis?

is byron buxton still a thing?

1987 and 1991 were awesome.

chili davis is probably available.

"i went to the convenience store and the guy was locking the door. i said, 'your sign says open 24 hours.' he said, 'yeah, but not in a row.'"

Alyea impressed his new team with a 4-for-4, 2 HR, 7 RBI performance against the Chicago White Sox. The Twins won the game 12-0, and Calvin Griffith may have thought he found the answer to his team’s troubles against left-handed pitching. Alyea gave Griffith and the Twins ample reason to believe that might be the case with a .415/.473/.774 April. Unfortunately for both Alyea and the Twins the hot start was just that. He came back down to earth and batted just .259/.335/.468 the rest of the season. After a .177/.282/.241 performance in 1971, the Twins let Alyea go in the Rule V draft. He bounced around the league in 1972 attempting to find the magic that propelled him in April of 1970, but was never able to.

the name brant alyea ring any bells?

well, the twins do have a hit.

playoff tickets on sale now. good seats still available.

twins should start colome, let him give up a few runs, get him out of the way and wage a furious comeback.

... maybe if the coach is named ohtani.

anybody know when the regular season starts?

prediction: player/manager nick punto.

easier done than said.
