Odd plays…
Okay, I haven’t posted anything about baseball lately, so I thought I’d remark about the oddest play I’ve heard of this week. No, it wasn’t Ichiro Suzuki’s inside-the-park homerun during the All Star game (although that was bitching), but rather occurred during tonight’s game between the Athletics and Twins.
Cuddyer triples off A’s middle reliever Kennedy with one out the bottom of the seventh. Kennedy then beans Morneau, giving batters at the corners with only one out. Calero comes in for relief in the bottom of the seventh. He tosses one pitch, gives up a hit, allows a run to score, and gets two outs.
How? Torii Hunter singles to left, Cuddyer scores, and then Stewart to Crosby catches Morneau out at third, and to Ellis gets Hunter out at second.
Nice.
Calero only threw the one pitch in the losing effort.

Addendum: On this date in 2005, one of my favorite Athletics, Miguel Tejada, won the All Star MVP. Okay, technically, he was an Oriole, but we know he’s still green underneath. We miss ya, Miggy.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
