I was at the game last night and took this picture.
Apparently, whenever Stanton runs, he drags a full grown man along with him.
Other notes:
1) Gleyber, again, made an error by throwing a ball away in an important situation. I don't know who this Durbin fellow is...
(Although as I said in a earlier post, his Grandmother was pretty hot... Durbin Photo .)
but I'd be good with bringing up baby. (Note to self: Stop watching TCM.)
2) For a close game it was surprisingly stress free. Rodon looked sharp for the most part and it always felt like a win.
3) I know I'm supposed to be boycotting to a certain extent but I'm getting old and I do love to be at the stadium. Always have. I didn't buy merch, took the train, and confined my food purchases to a single hot dog.
I was hungry.
I guess I'm going to be one of those people who recycles but still buys stuff in hard clam shell plastic containers.
The Invisible Man is actually on Stanton's back. Stanton thinks that running with a full grown man on his back will build up his legs.
ReplyDeleteDid they upcharge you for the rat droppings?
ReplyDeleteDid you see the new Miguel Andujar monument out in monument park?
ReplyDeleteMost athletes drag a tractor tire. Few, like Stanton, can hire a man tire.
ReplyDeleteHilarious, Doug!
ReplyDeleteYou paid for a single hot dog, but you got a bonus of 9 billion rat fecal bacilli on the side. That's a good deal! Next time, get the garlic fries, too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Stroman ain't got it tonight. 4-0, against the Marlins. Yeesh.
ReplyDeleteRyan McBroom strikes again.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's early yet.
ReplyDeleteCrap throw by Trevino.
And Rizzo muffs a grounder right to him. Got the out, but come on, boys.
ReplyDeleteStroganoff is nearing 100 pitches. I have to wonder if the extra pitches is ruining arms in MLB.
ReplyDeleteAre there any available stats about the number of pitches thrown per inning as compared to 20 years ago.
Pitches per game per team was 136 in 1988 and about 146 in 2019. Not a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteThe torque from increasing pitch speed seems like more of a factor. Pitching remains an unnatural motion, which it always has been, so doing it harder can't be great.
ReplyDeleteAt least the scroogie is out of fashion. Did you ever see a photo of Cueller's forearm? Yikes.
I meant Stroman, but maybe he’s pitching like stroganoff.
ReplyDeleteSomeone said that the pitch clock is hurrying everything up and causing a lot of stress on arms
ReplyDeleteCertainly have to beef about tonight's performance.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time thinking the clock is detrimental, but I don't really know.
ReplyDeleteExcellent JM, excellent!
ReplyDeleteArticle about James Andrews who chimed in on the rash of injuries…good read

Bone-head is taking the platoon Cabrera thing a little too far. Time to say bye-bye to Berti.
ReplyDeleteWait, have to prove the intern is great at dumpster diving.
Pythagoras likes this impending loss.
ReplyDeleteGood article, Ranger. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMighty Casey flies to center.
ReplyDeleteNo joy in Mudville. No clutch heroics.
ReplyDeleteSigh…
ReplyDeleteDurbin's aunt Deanna sure could hit the high notes
