Re: 5/18 GC
Leave it to the Marlins to continue to be MLB's contuining source of unintential comedy:
"... in a decision that would be described as interesting, out-of-the-box, and even bizarre, the Marlins on Monday presented their new manager: Dan Jennings.Jennings last coached 30 years ago, at a high school in Mobile, Ala.
"His professional playing experience is limited to having been signed as a pitcher by the New York Yankees out of a tryout camp. He did not, by appearances, actually throw a professional pitch for the Yankees."As his bench coach, Jennings hired Mike Goff, one of the Marlins’ advance scouts.
"Goff was a first-base and bench coach for the Seattle Mariners for a few seasons eight years ago, and managed after that in the minor leagues for the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants.
"Goff might be remembered for being the minor-league manager 20 years ago who, during a Northwest League game, mooned an umpire."

Re: 5/18 GC
I'm all for appreciating the military, but all the Mets are trying to do is sell merchandise. And they look ridiculous.

Re: 5/18 GC
Through 3 innings, Kluber has 7 strikeouts. That's 25 K's in the last 11 innings he's pitched.

I 'spose one of the things that makes Lackey effective is he thinks he can get anyone out, but you have to be smarter there.

Heyward swung at ball 4? "popup"' was not deep enough? (is Kozma that fast)? I was surprised Kozma got to third on Molina dunk. Hey, a tie is a tie and Lackey off hook! (less likely to trash a Gatorade cooler, or toss a buffet table).

I thought Oquendo was crazy for sending the runner.
