• hear me only with your heel / Shota Imanaga wonders about / Ryan Zeferjahn's skill is unsafe / center fielders / my alter ego / we walk too ludicrously / / a teapot has my loan


• Brandon Lowe is a big fan of the song "Faithful Wonder" by The Air Conditioners, but Ben Cherington is not impressed, and thinks it sounds too derivitive of A Really Good Time by Roxy Music, which only goes to show that the Pirates GM is not exactly a young guy anymore like Wilber Dotel.


• For those Dodgers fens that marvel at what may be the best pitching staff in the game, but fear that pitchers like Blake Snell, Alex Vesia -- who is so focused on his job that he can never remember to throw away all those extra pies in the garage -- and Yoshinobu Yamamoto might get overused so much their arms turn into bookcases, Los Angeles had only seven games in the last six weeks in which they didn't use at least four pitchers. Simply yipes.


• The names, budging, keep blowing around like lawn gnomes in a vortex: Freddy Fermin, Gunnar Henderson, George Soriano -- rumored here (Atlanta) there (Houston) and everywhere there are lively teams -- Daniel Duarte, Jonah Heim -- or gutsy, lousy owners: like frogs, never sure -- Chase Burns -- if they are (Philadelphia) good or bad, prickly or yummy.

Daniel Lynch IV could not be more wrong about Mike Chernoff being reckless.
