Rockies fans were treated to a game that ended before 9:00 local time.

All games this weekend are free on MLB.TV.

Here's the awesome logo. [attachment=0]mudcats.jpg[/attachment]

Iván Nova was credited with a complete game for his 5[space][/space]1/3 innings of work. I didn't realize that tie games could still occur because over the past few years, they've been suspended rather than replayed from the beginning. But I guess that when the decision is made not to complete the game, a tie is what you get. This is the first tie to occur under the new rules; they used to be much more common.

Chris Archer is gunning for his 20th loss tonight, despite the fact that he has a 4.02[space][/space]ERA, a 3.78[space][/space]FIP, a 1.24[space][/space]WHIP, a 100[space][/space]ERA+, 194[space][/space]IP, 228[space][/space]K's, and 3.0[space][/space]BB/9.

I just took a look at ESPN's Brewer pitching stats. They indicate that Brent Suter has 261 pitches per start and that Tyler Cravy has 393 pitches per start. Obviously, there's a flaw in their formula. In addition to Suter and Cravy, Chase Anderson has also appeared as both a starter and a reliever. I'd assume that his 88 pitches per start is also off.

"Launching pad" can definitely be taken more than one way.

That's great news. It's natural to fear the worst. I'm glad it turned out to be something that isn't a great cause for concern.

Yesterday, I went to the gas station to put air in my tires, and there was a semi parked in front of the air machine. You can't ask a semi driver to move his vehicle like you could ask the driver of a Ford Focus. So I went a few blocks away to another station. I usually avoid that station for air because the machine is next to a marked parking place. Not surprisingly, I had to wait for someone who was buying coffee or cigarettes or whatever. I don't mind waiting when someone's getting air or using the vacuum; that's to be expected. But it's a drag when someone's parked there for some other reason. It bugs me just as much that this car needs air so frequently. I actually have a calendar reminder set up to tell me it's time to go get some. Plus, I'll get air before any overnight trip. My other vehicle literally never needs air.

I'd submit that he was rewarded.

Pretty cool. Rivera just turned a popup to the second baseman into a sac fly.

Yeah, it wasn't Jonathan's fault that he couldn't catch the ball. But had he clearly indicated that he couldn't see it, there were three other guys who might have caught it.

When Miller Park opened, I believe the cost of electricity to move the roof was about $20. There's additional cost because employees have to be kept on site to move it. A couple are in the control room, and some are stationed up on the beam. If you heard $10,000, I wonder if that had to do with the cost of heating the ballpark on cold days. I wouldn't be surprised if that number is higher, though. I haven't seen the roof partially closed for a long time. I wonder why that was discontinued. Actually, I wouldn't be against slightly closing the roof on both sides for day games, just enough to provide a little more shade on the third base side. I don't see where that would have any negative impact as County Stadium had a larger roof than Miller Park does. The main reason that newer outdoor parks have smaller roofs isn't due to aesthetics. It's because the smaller roofs eliminate the need for posts to support them. Obviously, retractable roofs have plenty of support. And Miller Park's unique fan design allows for options that other roofs don't have.

José had been bumped back a day to Monday. That would have allowed Adam Conley to pitch on Sunday and would have set José up to pitch on the last day of the season if the Marlins were still in contention.

Actually, I'd be more concerned personally about the tiny handful of empty seats at Packers games. Maybe I would have liked to have one of those tickets. If the intent is to report "tickets sold," then I think the likelihood is that they were sold. The team doesn't have a lot of control over who shows up or if some of these tickets even reach the hands of customers. I don't see this changing unless people complain that they can't get tickets despite the fact that there are empty seats in the house.

The Brewers ultimately pay Delaware North Sportservice to run the stands, and both entities share in the profits. There'd be costs and profits on everyone's part. Given the volunteer situation, I'd guess that this system is supposed to speed things up. If they're going to expand this, those in charge have likely determined that the setup at the right field stand has accomplished whatever it set out to do. I'd say that this is highly unlikely to be the "capital" project that Rick S. was talking about, though. My guess is that he's referring to significant remodeling or a major addition to the building or grounds.

I haven't noticed that stand. How is it different?

Yeah, I watched it live, too. I'll likely watch the whole game once the Brewers are done.

It's ironic that BA doesn't pronounce Piña when he's one of the few who uses the proper Spanish pronunciation of Beltrán. Unfortunately, pronouncing Piña properly is required while the Spanish pronunciation of Beltrán can be considered optional.

José was also known to smile at the fielder who threw him out.

Dee Gordon led off for the Marlins, taking the first pitch for a ball from the right-handed batter's box, presumably wearing José Fernández's helmet. For the next pitch, he switched to lefty, and took a ball. Then he hit his first home run of the season.
