today's Brewers-Reds game featured both a reliever (Michael Lorenzen) hitting a grand slam and a catcher (Erik Kratz) recording a strikeout on a 59 mph knuckleball (that was well outside the strike zone, but I guess the ump just wanted to get it over with)

gerrit cole / justin verlander trivia
He already owns an unusual but interesting record -- at least since people started keeping track, he has the record for most consecutive games to start a season where the pitcher goes at least five innings and allows six or fewer hits. Cole has done that all 17 times this year.The odd thing is that Justin Verlander did it in his first 16 starts this season. There must be something in that Houston water.

apparently the marlins this year have taken a policy of not lying about attendance so that when it theoretically rises once the team is theoretically better the new ownership group will have an accurate reflection of how much they’ve actually risen attendance \(o_O)/

hi J... I thought MLB-wide policy now was to record attendance as tickets sold for a game, not actual fannies in seats; i wonder if this has changed?

you know, back in the day the boys used to wear wool uniforms and ride in single-berth trains without any air conditioning, all without any complaints at all. in fact they used to wear those wool uniforms on the train, because they loved the game so much. i remember some pranksters setting shoelaces on fire in the dugout, but you know when it was time to lay down a sacrifice bunt for the 5th time in a game, we were ready, and that's something the boys today with their launch angles and metrics can't seem to learn
