Vidal Nuno
Nuno has a 5.49 ERA and a 4.76 FIP. He has a (slightly) below average strikeout rate and a (slightly) below average walk rate. He would fit well on the Twins starting staff. Instead, the Yankees have him. He's left-handed and was drafted in the 48th round in 2009, so I'm expecting a shutout.
A regular Thursday feature, except for when I forget until Friday.
Four teams combine for ten runs, half of them coming from Cedar Rapids in a loss. Jason Wheeler dominates for Fort Myers. Eddie Rosario makes his season debut.
Deja vu all over again.

Loading... By this time of year, I'm typically sweating what to put on the summer mix. My constraints are tighter than Philo's: all new music, hopefully with a clean version available or with the cussing not too prominent (I slipped in some $#!+ via Mikal Cronin's "Shout It Out" last year).
But this year, I'm not gonna stress it. If I don't get a summer mix made, I'm fine with it. I'll just listen to these two songs and the related album over and over if I want to.* I'll play the kids some instrumental dub or something.
*Does this mean I should check out Ke$ha?
I'll still listen to summer mix rec's though. What you got?

How long can four sub-nine-year-olds stay up? I'm in the middle of finding out.
As Jeff A has well cataloged, this team seems to be at a bit of a crossroads. Here's to hoping the Magical Zoomball is at its full effectiveness this afternoon.

A near-sweep by Twins affiliates. Dominant starts by Alex Meyer and David Hurlbut. A big day for Daniel Ortiz.
