E-rod vs whoever.

Of f*** sake. LOL Delete this.

 

It's fixed and says April 19. So drive on. You're actually off to a good start naming the Rays starter. You got him right.

Whoever is a dangerous opponent. ERA of 0.00 with 0 innings pitched. Expect the unexpected with this man. Will take a miracle to pull this one off but I feel good!

It's some guy named Tee Bee Dee. He hasn't let up a hit his whole career!

 

We are doomed!

 

Ugh, I was afraid they were gonna unleash him soon...… We can always get a win Saturday.

I believe TB has three starters and that one is injured, so those relievers who get tonight off, will be subject to a 9 inning workload tomorrow. It must be hell to for TB to go extra innings.

 

Methinks if they cont. in their winning ways they will secure a couple of starters on or before the trade deadline.

On the plus side, we can't possibly lose tonight's game.

 

This is our new game plan.

 

We'll just take the night off, and gain a 1/2 game on both the Rays and Yankees.

Terrible juju with the date. But maybe that is exactly what we need to kickstart the season.

WIN

 

April 19 was the Battle of Lexington and the shot heard round the world--all done by the Massachusetts Militia (founded in 1636) who couldn't wait for the 2d Continental Congress to do something. Nor for a Declaration of Independence. Other Americans were so astounded by what the Massachusetts Militia did, they did things like name their Kentucky camping grounds Lexington (now the 2d largest city in Kentucky) within weeks of April 19, 1775.

 

That said, I would hesitate to connect that amazing history to anything going on at the Trop tonight.

 

I was born at Fort Banks (now gone, but close to Boston) and both my parents grew up in Massachusetts--one in Agawam and the other in West Newton--but neither they nor I nor my 5 siblings went back to MA except for one year, 1953-54 when the old man was overseas.

 

So I can't really call myself a New Englander, but as an American am both proud of and astounded by what our forebearers achieved.

 

About 8 years later GW resigned his commission and returned to Mount Vernon, and 4 years after that presided over the 1787 Constitutional Convention which quickly wrote our defining document. 23 of the 40 signers had served in the Continental Army. Unfortunately, they failed to live up to the Declaration of Independence ("we hold these truth to be self-evident that all men are created equal") and to banish slavery, but it was still one of the great documents in history.

I've been watching the Cubs' game and they put up on the screen a stat I'd never seen before. It's called % of hard hit balls. Hard hit meaning anything 95+mph. Someone on the Cubs was leading the NL at 50%. They didn't show the AL leaders. I don't know if that's a new stat or if it's been around a while. Either way, I think it's helpful in breaking down a players approach at the plate.

JD should be batting 4th. Either way, where he is batting is not the problem.

Fangraphs has that stat on its site, and has for several years, though I'm not sure I've seen it displayed on telecasts before.

 

Probably have, just wasn't paying attention. LOL

I was hoping to see Chavis tonight.

 

As Merloni said, Chavis might be a good pinch hitting option if we're behind late in a game.

Well we've been behind late in a game 15 times in 19 games, so I like those odds
