Hernandez (3-1, 5.54 ERA) vs. Cosart (1-1, 1.59 ERA)
If the Twins want to secure the #3 pick in the draft, bringing Hernandez back up is a good place to start. I don't have a whole lot to say outside of that, though. The team is still without Mauer and Morneau was still traded, so the lineup won't look real sexy. Course, that un-sexy lineup hung 10 on the 'Stros yesterday, so level of competition and all.
On the docket for me tonight - I got a new secondary monitor that they were gonna get rid of at work. It'll be great for programming, but I have to figure out how to uninstall the proprietary drivers on my linux system because they aren't playing nice.
That is to say -I'll be watching the game if I have a video driver installed at all tonight.
Yeah, I'm sittin' pretty now.
Are you using anything beside jsFiddle for source control?
I use Bluefish for all most of my coding. I just used jsFiddle to share it with the internet. Do you have any suggestions in the area?
git. Can join all the cool kids on github too then.
Everytime I end up on github, I am completely lost. I have no understanding of what it does beyond share code.
It's like the Book of
FaceCode.Yeah, I understand it in principle, but it seems like I can never find what I'm looking for. It's just due to unfamiliarity. I'm reading the Git Pro book right now to get up to speed.
It turns out I already have git installed, though I must admit not remembering doing it.
If I run
sudo apt-get install git
I get
But there is no folder at
/etc/gitconfig
or~/.gitconfig
If I run
git config --global --edit
it lists the file directory asbut I can't find that in the folder viewer
Check here tomorrow. I will try to write a somewhat comprehensive reply.
Cool. Coolcoolcool. Thanks
Welcome to dot-files. UNIX has the convention that files or directories that begin with a dot are hidden by default. In the terminal, you need to use the -A or -a option for ls; in a GUI, there should be an option to show hidden files.
For the rest, I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do. If you're trying to configure git, then okay, carry on. I don't find much configuration necessary; I have only seven options set out of about 100.
Yeah, I know about hidden files. "CTRL-H" shows them in the GUI. There was no real reason for looking for it other than I just wanted to know where it was. I was just following a long with the config in the book, like setting user name and stuff.
Okay, I get it. The file won't exist until you either create it or set some options first. Some programs will create default configuration files, but many don't.
We have seen several times this year where the game was carried by the latter part of the order.
plenty of seats avilable
so, this Dozier guy
Divin' Dozier smotes it!
DOZERED!!
Dozier's HR is a can of corn at Target Field
You rang?
wow
wow... Let's move him to short?
We're already up 2-0? I can only assume this is a bad sign.
Dozier is in monster mode
almost June 2012 Plouffe levels.
Listening to Houston sqwuakers. Lil amount of twang. OK, a lot.
coming into the game, Arcia has 19 walks against 90 strikeouts. yikkers
now 20/90
yikkersAlso Pinto didn't slide into 1st.
That was nearly a disaster. Still, nice hit by Notpunto.
Dozier might be able to finish with 20+ homers. Awesome.
3.7 rWAR. Only 2.6 fWAR due to UZR rating his defense as average.
that seems off. it seems like Dozier is all over the place out on defense
I buy UZR more than DRS, especially since TZL agrees with UZR. I can't help but wonder if Dozier looks good, but isn't actually that good.
A Jeter for the heartland!
Carter blowout - natch.
all Chris Carter does is hit HRs
if you are going to give up a HR, give up one that goes about 700 feet
Evening gentlemen!
Biscuit walk will haunt.
Plouffeda!
USA Ladies are up 5-0 on Mexico at the half. Sydney Leroux has 4 goals, Wambach with 1.
also, BANDBOX
That was a man's home run.
Plouffemeister!
So many home runs. I miss sac flies.
You know what I don't miss? Bunting.
I wouldn't mind bunting if the Twins hadn't somehow become terrible at it over the last 3-4 seasons.
No, I guess I would still mind it. Home runs are better any day.
Hey now, let us never forget the epic ineptitude of Punto's mid-2000s bunting.
I was thinking of Pop-up Punto when I typed that. I just didn't go back far enough to include him in the bunt-ineptitude, I guess.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!!!
way to run into an out, Astros dude
Why isn't not-Punto batting second? I thought catchers batted second this season. Is there a rookie adjustment I'm unaware of?
because now Grady has piranha style speed guys to put into the lineup
Keep your pants on, Maestro!
Mastro with a great catch
breaks his belt
laughter ensues.
baseball is awesome
That was pretty amusing. I love those little moments that seem to always pop up randomly in the season
Mastro gets a new belt.gif
that's awesome.
It's a good old-fashioned belt swappin'!
Presley can't believe the shit that they get away with in the American League.
Joe Mauer who?
Notpunto > Punto.
The Legend of Billy Hamilton begins. Against Yadier no less.
the crowd goes ultra wild for a SB
thats cool
I took a picture of his cleats at Cooperstown last month. He hadn't even been called up yet, but I knew I should probably do that.
The only run scored in the game.
that was a nice DP started by Plouffe
Double plays are great when it's not us hitting into them.
I never knew how the nickname 'Big Train' got attached to Carl Willis
Dick Bremer says Kevin Tapani gave it to him because Willis would love to toot his own horn.
thats great.
Gardy not voting for Pedro. boo
Dazz: "Casey Fien...has been outstanding."
whaddya know, the numbers pretty much support that. How did that happen?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers
except tonight, apparently.
I guess E(Dazz=right) = 0.
Fien's been trending worse.
Gardy's go-to reliever, getting burned out like Neshek, Guerrier, and Rincon before him.
https issues are back again with FF. Huh.
They never left. Mixed content blocking is for everything. I simply fixed the plugin for YouTube videos. Anything else will still be blocked unless it supports https.
Or unless you disable it for everything in about:config.
Yea, not doing that.
USA ended up being Mexico* 7-0 today. Hopefully this bodes well for the WCQ for the men on Tuesday.
*According to Wikipedia - "sometimes referred to as Las Tri"
So, we're Mexicans now? Just for today?
:-))
Wow, how did I mess that one up. Nice catch.
Heh, I snickered at it, but I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.
Pedro Hernandez threw 70 pitch in 6 innings
gives up a hit and gets taken out
and now its 4-3 and on the verge of being behind.
oh my goodness
TWINS BASEBALL!!
TWINS BASEBALL!!!TWINS BASEBALL!!TWINS BASEBALL!!!!!
What the entire hell was that?
Bugs Bunny baseball
That was TWINS BASEBALL!!
Twins baseball 🙁
First, Notpunto gets a hit. Then, Punto tries to bunt.
better TWINS BASEBALL!!!
pinball wizard
On the Grill tonight: sliced leftover grilled steak on baguette with a schmear of chevre and dollop of dijon. wee little canapes!
I think Pressly might already have better production than the last #1.
a list at Twins #1's in my baseball lifetime
Alex Presley (2013)
Tsuyoshi Nishioka (2011-2012)
Orlando Hudson (2010)
Luis Castillo (2006-2007)
Jason Kubel (2004)
Jay Canizaro (2000-2002)
Otis Nixon (1998)
Alex Cole (1994-1995)
Jarvis Brown (1991-1992)
John Moses (1988-1990)
Canizaro was a pretty big star on my High Heat Baseball 2002 team.
Presley's last number one was 1977's "My Way" b/w "America the Beautiful" (Cash Box's Country Western charts)
You forget the Junkie XL remix of "A Little Less Conversation" from 2002.
(Last track on Elvis 30 #1 Hits.)
That one was for you, bhiggs.
Are you referring to Pop-up Pedro, or did I miss something? I was transitioning from my truck to my basement.
what? a late season Twins-Astros afternoon getaway game is not on local tv?
I am shocked
Plouffe may be the greatest Trevor in Twins history.
the astros trainer has a spectacular mustache.
oh, craptasm.
Perk-no-matic? 🙁
Not a good outing for Perk.
Perkins just knew everyone wanted FREE BASEBALL!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H22t-tiWiLw
But Dazzle just said a couple of innings ago that Barnes doesn't have opposite-field power! Doesn't Barnes know that?
I've barely stayed up long enough for this much baseball. I'm probably gonna call it a night. This stuffy nose has had me sleeping poorly all week.
Robot Umps NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP!
Hey, this game is still going? The movable object versus the stoppable force, or something like that.
Twins effing baseball.
No crap. Enough with the effin' bunting already, I was friggin' joking earlier. Sheesh.
Sweet double, I-Punto.
TWINS BASEBALL!!
TWINS BASEBALL!!
TWINS BASEBALL!!!!!
That'll do...that'll do.
Goodness, I'd half forgotten what Mastroianni looked like.
Thanks for reaquainting me, Maestro.
MOAR Twins baseball??
Saves are hard tonight, evidently.
Easy peasy.
From 2063:
"The next night," Grandpa Colabello continued, "was just as much fun. We led the whole game, but then our closer blew up, and we went into extra innings. It was the twelfth, and I was leading off. It woulda been neat to hit another home run, but the skipper told me when you lead off an inning, you're not supposed to hit a home run. That's selfish. You're just supposed to get on base so you can start a rally. So I did. I singled to right, and sure enough it started a rally. The next guy messed up a bunt, so I was out, but then we got a double and wild pitch to go ahead, and later on our countryman, a guy named Mastroianni, doubled in two more runs so we won 9-6. I was really glad I listened to the boss and didn't hit a home run--who knows what would've happened if I had?
"It was then we realized it. We just couldn't lose, no matter what we did. And we didn't. We won every game the rest of the season, we made the playoffs, and we won every game in the playoffs to take the championship. Like I said, it was quite a time."
Thanks to the future Grandpa Colabello's unselfishness, we're still on track for 86-76!
Not that you don't have enough on your plate, but you I would enjoy seeing your writing in a Spookymilk Survivor or Play With the Prose competition.
Thirdity third. (Because hj mentioned it too.)
Thanks, all, but I really don't think I'd be very good at it. I appreciate the thought, though.
