News & Notes
  • The Diamondbacks just need Nolan Arenado to improve on his spin rate over last year, and get Adrian Del Castillo to get back to normal after his salisbury steak addiction, and Torey Lovullo can have a bad lineup, if Tim Tawa, who has had trouble hitting the slideball in the past, can come along.

  • Team song for the Yankees: Nothing Is Easy by Jethro Tull.

  • The Rockies payroll may necessitate waving goodbye to Troy Johnston (if someone will take his salary) or Tomoyuki Sugano (if they can convince someone his case of Miyamoto Colic is healed), and giving Hunter Goodman an opportunity.

  • a typhoon with the shrewdness of a lad / is a snake and not a pen

Apoetical Blues

fastball

one scout said

the Athletics certainly knew what they were doing
when they got
    Donovan Walton

he is going to be a masterful hitter

the same scout said
    Drew Rom

is throwing very well

but
he's not a microphone
anymore

now he's throwing
99

and relying on his
fastball

obviously

he's copying
    Jacob Lopez

which is a good idea
if he doesn't want to be out of baseball

living out of
IMAX theaters

and trying to find work as a driver
next year
