A Random Sampling
By Mike McClary in Fungoes | 0 comments
I’m leaving Cleveland in about six hours and getting cozy with U.S. 23 and I-75 for most of the day on the way back to Charlevoix. So, I wanted to clear out the mental notebook.
Did you see that Chris Shelton got designated for assignment by the Rangers? In almost two months in Arlington, Big Red didn’t hit: 216 with two home runs and 11 RBIs in 41 games. Seriously, what happened with him? Denny Bautista made his debut with the Pirates on Friday night but the poor guy got nailed by a batted ball. He threw only 12 pitches and is likely out for a few days. I attended my first game at Progressive Field tonight. Craig Calcaterra of ShysterBall and I enjoyed about four innings before being spooked by lightning and threat of rain. The game was delayed about an hour before first pitch — my second rain delay in three days and probably the second of my baseball-attending life — so we cut our losses. Do yourself a favor and check out this photo I snapped of a guy sitting next to Craig. (The photo here is the view from our seats in section 409.)
That’s it from SABR…at least for me. The convention runs through Sunday.
