I missed Stewart’s debut yesterday. I have to step up my game. There are going to be a limited number of sincerely fun moments this year; I can’t squander the opportunities to see them!

I think the stolen base got folks psyched up a bit.

We only got 6 hits, and DJ got 3 of them.

Nunez woulda never even got his glove on that.

[Natty]

How bout that fleet footed base running...

[O's84]

I see Nunez is still locked in.

[spiritof66]

Why did Nunez go to third? Because he's Nunez, I guess. Even though he made it, that's a dumb play.

There is something strangely exciting about sneaky speed from a big looking guy. That might be one of the few interesting aspects of the NFL.

Has Means faced the Tigers before? It may have been mentioned before but I just got here. The fangraphs article was very interesting, the author thinks that means is a guy worth watching, but he specifically said that he wasn’t saying he was “good” just… “Interesting”

but hopeful.

This year’s Tigers hitters are a poor test. They are still trying to figure out Straily’s fastball.

Watching Miggy is something now. He is a singles hitter now and his power has evaporated.  

He’s like a fat Rod Carew from his later years with the Angels.
