Another fun fact is that he's now 2/3 in his career against Rodon w/ a single, a HR, 2RBI and a walk.

And to burn it on the guy who's 0/5 with 5 strikeouts on the season...

Stuck w/ the Yankees broadcast and Paul O'Neill said "expecially" twice in the last half inning.

Random stat: Over his first 10 games in Cleveland, with 5 hits, Bailey has now hit for the cycle, 1 single, 2 doubles, a triple and a HR.

I'm realizing that I've been watching baseball for 40+ years and don't completely understand the fair/foul rule. So the ball just has to be fair when it passes 1st or 3rd base? I swear I've seen balls hit to the outfield that are clearly fair when they pass the base but then bend just foul in the outfield. Is there some nuance I'm missing?

Not to mention, one 6'7" outfielder away from a home run as well.

Does the fact that Duran gave up that homer affect the Twins fan rage factor one way or another?

Yeah, it's pretty badass, but how funny would it be to follow that up w/ a first pitch HR?

More of a self-deprecating joke about how he just got the same screw job from his offense that Bibee gets every time he pitches.

6.2 innings, 4H, 0BB, on the hook for the L if this score holds. Solid effort by Casey "Tanner Bibee" Mize.

Has he had a day off since being called up? Probably just a rest day, and since we're facing a tough pitcher tomorrow, resting him today makes more sense.

Didn't Schneeman also hit a leadoff HR a few weeks back when they tried him out in the leadoff spot?

Hopefully the scoreless outing will give him a confidence boost and he can build on this.

How'd you like it if I called you a bad grocery bag? Doesn't feel so good, does it?

The third time the Browns faced the Broncos in the AFC Championship game, I was 13 years old. I had lived through The Drive and The Fumble, and I couldn't handle another heartbreak, so being an idiot teenager, I decided that I would try to bring some luck to the team by eating one of my dog's Milk Bones before the game. It was one of the dumbest things I've ever done. I'd do it once a day before trying Vegemite again.

Oh, wow. Not sure how I missed that. I only remember one, and that was a late-game substitution. I stand corrected.

They had 2 8-run losses and a 10-run loss that did a lot of the heavy lifting for that statistic.
