— Giants manager Tony Vitello jumped from managing college ball at Tennessee to being a major league manager in San Francisco. I wonder if he is enjoying it, seriously. Not talking about the winning/losing (Giants are 6-10) but the other aspects of being a manager that have to be a lot different in the major leagues than they are in college.
— I’m thinking the ABS pitch challenge system is hurting scoring; just seems like hitters lose most of their pitch challenges. Catchers’ challenges are more successful.
— Playing fantasy baseball is fun for me, but platooning drives me crazy; just play your best freakin’ players. It is often a self-fulfilling prophecy to sit lefties against lefties; maybe if you play them against everyone, you’ll realize you have a great player on your hands.
— RIP Phil Garner, who passed away this week at age 76. Garner played 16 years in the majors for five teams, starting out with the A’s in 1973. He also managed in the big leagues for 15 years, for three teams. He played on the Pirates team that won the 1979 World Series.

— Stumbled across an old video of chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer making an appearance on the Tonight Show back when I was a kid; had to be 1974 or so. Johnny Carson was a great talk show host, but he was walking on eggshells around Fischer, who was temperamental on a good day. Great chess player, smart guy, but a very unusual person.

Quote of the Day
“Just look at the stat sheet: Three hits, 23 giveaways. I don’t know if I’m back, but if I’m back, I’m changing this culture. These guys, they don’t care. Losing is not important enough to them. It doesn’t bother them. How can you go out and play like that?”

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..
— Monday night in Baltimore, Orioles manager Craig Albernaz got drilled in the face by a foul ball during the game; he broke his jaw, and had at least seven fractures in his cheekbones, but he was back in the dugout for Tuesday night’s game.
Orioles 2B Jeremiah Jackson hit the ball that broke his jaw; the next two times Jackson came to the plate, he hit home runs.
Albernaz won’t need surgery, and his jaw didn’t need to be wired shut, but he’s on a strict baby-food diet. He also can’t blow his nose, which is probably too much information.

Quote of the Day
“Just look at the stat sheet: Three hits, 23 giveaways. I don’t know if I’m back, but if I’m back, I’m changing this culture. These guys, they don’t care. Losing is not important enough to them. It doesn’t bother them. How can you go out and play like that?”
NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets coach Rick Bowness

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..
— Monday night in Baltimore, Orioles manager Craig Albernaz got drilled in the face by a foul ball during the game; he broke his jaw, and had at least seven fractures in his cheekbones, but he was back in the dugout for Tuesday night’s game.
Orioles 2B Jeremiah Jackson hit the ball that broke his jaw; the next two times Jackson came to the plate, he hit home runs.
Albernaz won’t need surgery, and his jaw didn’t need to be wired shut, but he’s on a strict baby-food diet. He also can’t blow his nose, which is probably too much information.

Quote of the Day
“It’s a hard position to play, and there’s a lot to learn beyond throwing [a] football and being a good teammate. A lot of these guys live their entire life in shotgun [formation]. They don’t huddle. You really got to teach some of these guys how to run a huddle, how to break a huddle, how to get under center and call a cadence.”
Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek
