    What’s going on in the stands? I can only listen to the game tonight.

    James “Houdini” Paxton.

    This is one of those 25% of games that Mike Mussina described as “you have nothing”.

    Funny game baseball. Two line drives are at ‘em balls for outs sandwich 2 very soft hits that find grass.

    Somebody best left ignored

    Casas es en fuego.

    That I agree with. Great name. Frankly, I hate this name rights thing. I understand why it’s fine, but I don’t like it.

    I agree with the announcers; if that throw is actually on the base, Duran is safe. The throw literally hit Duran in the face as the fielder caught it. It’s actually the first time Duran has been thrown out by a catcher; his previous caught stealing occurred when he went as the pitcher threw to first and the throw from the first baseman beat him to second.

    We hit 97/113 today in Western Illinois.

    This park was never called Candlestick. It’s been around about 25 years and IIRC, it was first called Pac-Bell Park. Candlestick did remain the home of the 49ers until maybe a decade ago, and it has since been torn town.

    It would be nice if Verdugo would come out of his funk. It’s not so much the results; his body language at the plate is terrible. Have to wonder if lack of any progress on a contract extension might be affecting him. He also hasn’t been the same since he went on that bereavement leave just before the All-Star break.

    Here are his slashlines as a pitcher and DH. P: .214/.323/.464/.787 with 3 homers. DH: .272/.360/.556/.916 with 158 homers He's actually got very few plate appearances as outside of DHing. Only 65 as a pitcher and about 60 as an OF or PH. He's got 2595 PAs as a DH. The numbers from OF/PH would skew his non-pitching slash up slightly, but not by much. I have no idea how many of the DH numbers are from when he stayed in after being taken out after pitching, but since that rule allowing that has only been around a couple years, it can't be too many. Suffice to say, there is a huge difference.

    I loved watching that.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Yep. Worth a shot by Miller and it worked.
  15. illinoisredsox
    He might well be at this point. Reyes isn’t a blazer. Not going to use Refsnyder there; no sense using him and just end up putting Arroyo in the game for D anyway.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Surprised that was confirmed. Thought it would just stand.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Not enough to overturn
  18. illinoisredsox
    As Hawk Harrrlson used to say, you can cancel the postgame show.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Yep; they are doing a really good job of making him throw a lot of pitches. Strider OTOH is pounding the zone with nasty stuff.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Shrider looks nasty.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Actually, the radio guys said before the game started that Schreiber was going only 1 inning.
  22. illinoisredsox
    I believe that is correct, with a limit of 14 pitchers (rest of the season, it's 13). The ability to move guys up and down all month is enhanced greatly by the change to the minor league schedules over the last few years. They used to end right about Labor Day, with their playoffs after that. Now, the AA season stretches until September 17 and the AAA season goes until September 24, so its not like the callups are sitting around all month.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Allowed is the wrong word. The new rules are you have to call up 2 (i.e., all teams are required to have a 28 msn roster in September, no more, no less).
  24. illinoisredsox
    Castiglione and Flemming have been saying he could be back and active tomorrow (Sunday).
  25. illinoisredsox
    At the end of a game, one spot can mean a lot. What I didn’t get was not using Arroyo or Alfaro to hit for Kike. Both have a better chance to get on or even hit one out. Sox had chances to score earlier and failed. That’s where the game was lost.
