It's not often you get two ABs against a position player in the same game.

Rays gave up so many runs that the Rangers overtook them for best run differential. Wild.

You had 9 innings of that. After that people have other stuff to do.

How did it come to be we're calling him a ghost runner? It's pretty much the exact opposite of a ghost runner.

That's what they do. Including players, staff and people working at the ballpark.

Shorter games and shorter extra innings benefit everyone except for people who have nothing else to do.

If they went down 8-0 to allow for them to have a position player pitch, would that player be allowed to stay in the game in the next inning if the deficit was under 8 at that point?

The game Donovan of the Cardinals had the other day -- only guy in 100+ years to score all his team runs (multiple runs), have all his teams' RBI's, have all his team XBH's, have all his team's SB's ... in a win -- was almost a lot freakier. He was one hit from having all his team's hits. That might have been a first ever in MLB history.

I'm going to give you guys a secret, my anti procrastination get work done from a precedent setting award winning lawyer.

Ok. You got something to do. Put on an old baseball game. Now...get in that old school old time baseball mood. You are Ty Cobb without the racism. Mean. You are Pete Rose or Lenny Dykestra without u know the crimes.

Enough wussy footin around. You are here to work. Spit on your hands. You hurt? Throw some dirt on it. Dig in. Crowd the plate. Or throw some chin music. You feelin me. Channel your best baseball quotes or stories...

Pete Rose when he was called up from rookie ball to AA a big jump walked right up to the manager and said "Hello Mister. I'm your new second baseman." They had a 2nd baseman. No. They thought they did. Pete hit a hard .354.
Nails was in the minors with Billy Beene. Steve Carlton was on rehab. Dykesta said what's the big deal with the crowd? Billy said "thats steve carlton"
Lenny said "I'll hit em"...Billy who was a bonus baby with all the talent and brains in the world who outthought himself out of the bigs yet become the legend gm... "Lenny that's Steve Carlton, he won the Cy Young. He's a big deal. " Lenny just sat there. "I'll hit em" was all he said. And he ropped two doubles off of him...
That is your antiprocrastination attitude.
Ok, you put the game on, and you vow to make it through the whole game. You can do that. Listen to a game. And after the first half inning, you do one thing to accomplish your goal. Just one thing. You can do that...and yeah every half inning you get something done. Billy Martin. You do it for Earl Weaver. F it.

These old games are funny btw real history lesson. In the middle of a game "Fouled...two and one...The AP is reporting Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev has died. The new leader is Leonid Breshnev...Two and one. Tommy John is ready...Outside. 3 and 1."
Or "He became the first Negro infielder in Pirates history last week on opening day and now is playing in his first away game...so...big night for him." And the commercials of course are classic.
