A's June 7-9

[saddles]

A decent puting from Tyler Phillips last night and another very good outing from John Latz for Down East. He has now brought his ERA under 2.00 for the season. Him, Jason Bahr, and John King have been really impressive for the Wood Ducks this year.

So I finally have some time to sit down and watch a game and Snyly is starting. Fuck me.

Bahr is second in the league in ERA, but Latz and Kimg spent some time at Hickory so they don't have enough innings to qualify for the Carolina League leaders. If they did have enough innings, King would be first and Latz fourth among the leaders.

I got a chance to go to one game this year and he was pitching. So, I know how you feel.

Bad storms in the Dallas area right now, sirens going off.

I’m going to a game soon and I checked to make sure he’s not pitching. Thankfully, I don’t have to get fucking wasted before the 1st inning. There’s no way I could watch that shit show in person sober.

A reminder of the terrible mauling Lucchesi took from Lenny Randle in ST 1977.

During Spring training 1977,[2] first round draft choice Bump Wills (son of Maury Wills) earned the starting second base job.

On March 28, the Rangers were in Florida for an exhibition game with the Minnesota Twins. An hour before the first pitch, Randle walked up to Rangers manager Frank Lucchesi during batting practice and said he wanted to talk to him. Words were exchanged, and Randle punched Lucchesi, who was still in street clothes, in the face three times. It was reported that Frank Lucchesi took a left, right, and another left to the face before the altercation was stopped by bystanders.[3]

Lucchesi was hospitalized for a week, needing plastic surgery to repair his fractured cheekbone which Randle had broken in three places. He also received bruises to his kidney and back. The Rangers suspended Randle for 30 days without pay and fined him $10,000.[4] On April 26, before the suspension was complete, Texas traded him to the New York Mets for cash and a player to be named later who was to be Rick Auerbach.[5]

Randle was charged with assault, and would plead no contest to battery charges in a Florida court, getting slapped with a $1,050 fine. The Texas Rangers fired Lucchesi on June 21.[6]Lucchesi blamed Randle for the firing, and sued him for $200,000.[7]

Ask Odor he knows.

 

[Duane1952]

Nice job by Odor going the other way. He just doesn't do it enough.

 

[Duane1952]

I agree with Romeo. Smyly sucks.
