Scott Harris will be pleased by this 11 walk offensive approach

At least the fans got to see him.  

in his last 7 games Cabrera  is hitting 100. That's 2 hits in 20 AB with 5Ks. But with 6BB.  The walks actually got his OBP up to 300 over that stretch.

I blocked him a few years ago. He used to be here (when it was MTS) and was banned. Banned from Tigstown as well.

His son did prospects stuff for BYB and BP for a bit about 10 years ago, good guy. I met him on the backfields once.

I met his son wheat thrower (a play on his nickname here) at Fenway.  I have not met Sportz.

I passed him out walking Sunday—much shorter than I thought.  He was with his wife and some friends coming back from the Birmingham Farmers Market, I think.

Ibanez is now 0 for his last 32 with the only time reaching base safely during it was a single HBP.

Son pitched as high as college level didn't he?

This my favorite, after I had to show a blocked tweet.

He also has a thing for irrationally hating Matt Vierling as well.

Not that Vierling has proven himself to be elite or anything, but there are far worse players on this roster who don't engender that kind of hostility

So wait Sportz and Alwaysthrowheat are Father and Son?

Peat mower? Feet grower? Meat blower? Am I close?

EDIT: Oh yeah I remember Alwaysthrowheat

I believe so, but he got hurt.

Not surprised. His dad is really short too.

Even pitchers weren't that bad.

Foley only threw 10 pitches.  Give Lange the night off.

[RandyMarsh]

That would suck to grow up with the last name Bummer.

That single puts Riley over the .800 OPS mark on the season. Outside of maybe the first week of the season I don't think he has been that high all year. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Shorty! 7-2 Tigers on a 2-run single

[gehringer_2]

Short just gave Lange the night off....we hope.

It could be worse.  It could be a teenaged girl whose last name is Hoover.

It is super weird seeing a Belle Tire commercial on a White Sox-Tigers game being telecast on NBC Sports Chicago.

It's been fun seeing the progress some of these guys have made in May.
