Just 6 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
DeAngelo, come on, bro! Don’t get all fat, slow, lazy, and disinterested in life like Old D’Angelo, stay sharp, crisp, and full of awesome music like Young D’Angelo.
Romulo Sanchez is beasting off the Riesling.
/Kanye’d
and his homie just made it out the precinct.
DeAngelo Mack and Justin Milo = Chokers
(kidding)
Who’s starting game 3 for Tampa
Move Humberto back to the rotation, and can have the fat Sanchez rotation
Sean Black has been really solid for SI. Where does he start next year?

What’s it called when someone strike outs 5 times in one game? The Platinum Sombrero?
You are correct, we were trying to find out 6 strikeouts because he had a chance to do it.
BTW if the wind wasnt blowing crazy today the SI Yanks would have won it.
Diamond Sombrero for 6?
We were calling it that, thanks to Angelini we have a dent in the wall in the press box, almost took us out
I thought the five-strikeout game was called “The Alex Rios”?
Come on, its either the “Mark Reynolds”, the “Adam Dunn” or the “Rob Deer”….
No. According to Wiki, Dunn, Deer, and Reynolds only struck out five times in a (non-extra-inning) game once each in their careers. Rios is one of three players to do it twice.
The other two are Dick Allen and Pat Burrell.

Blew a save by getting an out. Great commentary.
… I have no idea where you’re going with this.
“Pat Venditte: 1 IP, zeroes, 2-1 GB/FB – he actually blew the save in the 8th when he allowed an inherited runner to score on a groundout”
man, that’s one tough blown save, especially when you didn’t allow a baserunner in your inning of work. at least he picked up the W.
I’m pretty sure that Mitchell only threw 2 innings because there was a long rain delay during the game. At one point, while checking all of the MILB box scores, it was in a delay and it stayed that way for a while, so I don’t think he’s necessarily hit any innings limits yet.
