"That was a great moment. Another memorable moment this year was Big Papi's walkoff."
"The baby powder walk-off."
"It was flour."
"Oh it was flour?"
"It was Joe Kelly's idea to do that. Throw flour on Papi as he came into second base. ... Baserunner for Pujols now who's gone 1 for 3."
"I guess baby powder would have smelled."
"Not a good idea to get baby powder in your eyes."
"I'd guess flour isn't good to get in your eyes, either!"
"Gary it's not good to get ANYTHING in your eyes."

it was excessive but they have a day off this coming monday so there's extra time for him to rest - he prob won't throw again till at least next Wednesday or thursday

I can't remember which one of the three, but that one he hit to center was a bomb. If you are 5-9 and have that type of power, you are in league with Jim "The Toy Cannon" Wynn. All those old 60s and 70s guys would talk about how much power that Wynn had for his size.
Don't see Betts play much at all, but the guy has to have some amazing bat speed.

mookie in 11 games against the orioles this season
.426/.490/1.000, 20-for-47, 8 HR, 3 2B, 17 RBI, 3 2B, 16 R, 6 K
seven of the homers have come in the five games at camden yards

Criminy, I figured you guys were referencing the 3 HR game a couple days ago. Yowza, the ball must look like a beach ball to Betts right now.

he was AL player of the month for july; he already has more homers and rbi in august

I guess it is good that Betts never got moved out for a stretch run free agent a few years back when his name came up in those rumors.

he does indeed have incredible bat speed

Haven't read everything on this business about Detroit refusing to change today's game time (from afternoon to everning) to accommodate Boston's schedule, but it seems like Boston should have first asked Baltimore to change the time of yesterday's game since THAT was a getaway day. Anyway...

apparently it was bc there's a preseason lions game tonight? idk. thats what they're saying publicly i think
i was gonna blame showalter bc why not but by all accounts he agreed to let last night be called after finding out what boston's next-day schedule was

one of the sox beat writers mentioned that boston isn't too generous with its getaway days either

such a weird non-story. it was fine for the sox to ask, and fine for the tigers to say no!

Scott LauberESPN Staff Writer:
Red Sox rookie left fielder Andrew Benintendi has been placed on the 15-day disabled list after twisting his left knee awkwardly as he dove into second base. Benintendi underwent an MRI exam Thursday, and manager John Farrell told reporters that it's too soon to know whether the injury is season-ending. Benintendi, the Red Sox's 22-year-old outfield prospect, was batting .324 since getting called up earlier this month. In his absence, veteran outfielder Chris Young will get the majority of the at-bats in left field, with utilityman Brock Holt filling in against tough right-handed pitching.

no structural damage, should come back for the final games of Sept and the 'offs (however long the sox are in them, I for one don't think that long but wouldn't mind being proven wrong)

like recently? his whole-year lefty/righty split looks normal.
he seems to have gotten worn down this year. even back in july he was vocal about needing a day off.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 14 September 2016 15:32 (eight years ago) link
yeah i meant the combined splits, which admittedly are small sample sizes. for example against lefties on the road in 71 PAs he's got a wRC+ of 41, while against lefties at home it's 228. i don't think this "means" anything tho it's just interesting
