Good start so far...

Jeremy;’s worst innings are usually the first 2, right? This is very encouraging.

And 3 Drinks Gary in full effect: “Placido Palanco, who has never sung opera to the best of our knowledge…”

His

pitch calling, ability to block pitches, framing, lack of target, lack of hustle running after passed balls/wild pitches…all of the them, are about Single A level.

both catchers seemed to care more about hustling than Ramon…

2nd inning, 2 runs on a HR. So he gives up his normal HR and early inning runs.

Now, can we win 3-2?

Maybin

From Wiki:

Maybin was taken 10th overall by the Tigers in 2005. Tigers traded Maybin last off-season, Andrew Miller, Mike Rabelo, Dallas Trahern, Eulogio De La Cruz, and Burke Badenhop to the Florida Marlins for Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera.

He’s hitting like 270 at AA but has 92 K’s on the year. He’s about 6’3”-6’4” 200-215 lbs. R/R.

I went on Wikipedia

to see if they had how many years Brooks did the games, but this was the only information:

Following his retirement as a player, Robinson began a successful career as a color commentator for the Orioles’ television broadcasts. In 1982, local television WMAR’s on air newsteam in Baltimore, Maryland went on strike and picketed the WMAR headquarters for the two months approaching the baseball season. When Robinson refused to cross the picket line, WMAR management re-opened the negotiations and the strike ended the next day.

Very cool, Brooksie.

What is up with all these bloop hits?

Gary: 2 pitches and 2 hits that together wouldn’t reach the left fielder.

Jim: "I don't like that slide"

Best revenge? Throw at his head next time from 2B. That’s what Roberto Almomar did to Albert Belle after Belle took out a different team’s 2B. Robbie got a chance on a DP, took one look at Albert running at him (slowly), and threw right between his eyes. Belle got down in a hurry…
