CHAT THREAD
SSI denizens were wondering, "Whence the weekly Shout box." Dr. Detecto's bad - we kept last week's front-and-center until Thursday, whereupon the game threads sort of elbow'ed their way to the front of the line. This week we'll try and keep this post timestamped all the way up to Saturday. 'ave at thee, matey.

M's 7, LASTRO's 3
Which leaves the M's -2 games back of either Toronto or Baltimore with 13 full games left to play. If you don't call that a "pennant race" ... you're, well, on the wrong side of that argument.
DiPoto was on the broadcast saying "Every loss feels like the worst thing that ever happened to you" and the wins are ... well, whatever the inverse of that is. Welcome to the roller coaster, quoth Jerry.
MtV's Beavis and Butt-head saw everything in the world as cool, like nachos are, or suxage, like everything else is.

Minus 2, with 13 left, is --- > Kewl. Be clear about that.
Also, for public consumption, DiPoto saith that Ariel Miranda is kewl. Thus saith the Shepherd. And thus saith the #5 starter, in a 7-3 victory, getting us back to The Big Four. Ariel Miranda is at the least interesting; DiPoto said his intriguing pitch is the split-finger fastball, which according to Brooks RISES fifteen inches against gravity. At the minimum, you can say you have not seen THIS before.
A split that hops and sails. Allllllll righty then.

DIPOTO SPEAKS

guestfbiedief1 Anyone else catching Jerry DiPoto on the TV commentary? Fascinating insight - you could create a whole series of SSI posts on the back of what he's said. -

Whereupon Dr. Detecto cue'd up the DVR, expecting an inning or so from the General Manager ... and to the general bogglement, got eight pages of notes, on ten or so general subjects. Mainframe Grok forthcoming instanter, over the next few days. If you, as a denizen, prefer North East West South -- you've got a direction you would prefer -- pursue forthwith. We will follow with (1) GM Quote, (2) GM-O-Vision Translation, and (3) Dr's Diagnosis in that order. Spoiler alert: Taijuan is ready to rock.
If your interest in such were inconsiderable, you would be elsewhere now. Therefore, we'll follow on the next several days with JeDi's wit, wisdom and warnings.
Or, if your interest in contributing be greater than your interest in grokking, post your Denizen opinion in the CMS comments area, or the Shout Box, below.
Affectation-ously,
Jeff
