So is a gyroball called that because it's like a gyroscope, free to rotate about one or both of two axes perpendicular to each other and to the axis of spin? Or because it spins slowly like a hunk of lamb and beef on a spit, dripping delicious juices? And if it's the second, then how are you supposed to pronounce it? A waitress the other day asked me if I wanted Euro meat on my Greek omelette. I had no idea how to answer that.

He'll be wearing uniform number 16.

Is 16 the Mets designated big name Japanese pitcher number?

I read once that the teen numbers are your "ace pitcher" numbers in Japan. 18 specifically, I think, although of course we retired 18 for Darryl.

Eric Young, Jr. – LF

wonder which one's the better hitter.
|
Frayed Knot Aug 23 2013 02:29 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
So Greg Burke gets promoted after a month in the minors, throws five pitches (one hit out of the park), then gets demoted again (quite possibly to resurface in 10 days time).
|
Ceetar Aug 23 2013 02:31 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
|
As long as there is an injury it'll probably only be 9 days.
|
Benjamin Grimm Aug 23 2013 02:36 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Has anyone been counting how many times Greg Burke has been promoted and demoted this year?
|

his wife.

Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:17 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
That's the first time I did not see Byrd busting it, off the foul ball by Jackson in the first. He didn't have a chance for it, I don't think.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:22 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
After a K on Jackson to start the game the Tigers smack 3 hits in a row. The homer and two singles. Is this any way to eat up innings? He better settle down. We need at least 5 from him, I figure.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:25 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Gets out of it with minimum damage.
|
smg58 Aug 23 2013 05:27 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
EY got the memo that V-Mart is catching his first game in two years.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:27 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
|
Yea. Base hit and steals second first thing. I like :)
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:29 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
UGH! Well, at least he allowed Murphy to get to second. Great point by the booth. Young could have gone back to second, where he would have stayed and Murphy called out.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:32 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Fister brings back old Ike.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:40 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Young with a nice diving catch. He popped up from that grab faster than he went down for it. Saves a run.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:43 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Hunter doubles over Lagares head to straight center. Breaks the tie.
|
Lefty Specialist Aug 23 2013 05:44 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
So I'm thinking this whole Dice-K thing may not end well.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 05:49 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
|
Well, it's certainly not starting well. I guess his performance is a secondary consideration, as eating innings would be the first.
|
Edgy MD Aug 23 2013 05:57 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Is Hisanori Takahashi available?
|
Kong76 Aug 23 2013 06:03 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Satoru Komiyama is still playing with the Chiba Lotte Marines.
|
Edgy MD Aug 23 2013 06:04 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
That's the Daisuke we're paying $100 million for.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 06:05 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
That was a 1-2-3 inning! If we pull him and release him now it ends well!
|
Edgy MD Aug 23 2013 06:18 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Lagares runs down balls like a good cop running down punks.
|
Edgy MD Aug 23 2013 06:25 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Infield hit for the slow guy. (Cabrera = slower.)
|
Edgy MD Aug 23 2013 06:28 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
They have d'Arnaud's statistical display say "H/AB: 1/12," as if that somehow lightens the blow of .083
|
Edgy MD Aug 23 2013 06:38 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Ten in a McRow. I want some offense.
|
Frayed Knot Aug 23 2013 06:41 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Not sure how the DiceK experiment ends, but it starts with a 9.00 ERA
|
Edgy MD Aug 23 2013 06:42 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Got the inside breaking pitch working against lefties, this Fister.
|
Fman99 Aug 23 2013 06:55 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Dice-K is a Met now? Jeez, I am out of the loop.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 06:58 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
What I miss? Ha, nothing.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 07:00 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Byrd doubles. But what good is starting it if no one finishes it? Come on IKE!
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 07:03 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Wow, Flores with some bat speed gets Byrd to third.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 07:09 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
So we did get 5 out of Matz. I consider this a successful outing from him going by the most minimum of expectations. After all, these are the Tigers.
|
themetfairy Aug 23 2013 07:10 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Carlos Torres quickly dispels the notion that this would have been a better game if he had started it.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 23 2013 08:11 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
10 under again. Frowny.
|
Zvon Aug 23 2013 08:15 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Its over? Sheesh, the end of this season is going to be a frustrating experience. Good thing I have so much experience at being frustrated by the Mets. I think I can take it.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 23 2013 09:28 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a guy customarily eat innings before he vomits them up?
|
Gwreck Aug 23 2013 10:15 PM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
I have an idea. Let's never throw anything in the strike zone to Miguel Cabrera, ever.
|
Frayed Knot Aug 24 2013 06:27 AM Re: IGT 08/23 Tigers at Matsuzakamets |
|
Wouldn't matter, he'll hit stuff out of the zone out of the park too.
|

Big fan of Miggy. And even bigger because he's no longer on the Marlins.

And that's a fact.
