  1. Denard Span has reached safely on base 36 consecutive games.
    He has a slash line of .306/.360/.412 /.772 OPS+115
    Good for him!

  3. Is Kevin Slowey completely out of baseball? The Marlins DFA'd him a while ago and he doesnt have any minor league stats on b-r

    1. I can't find anything on him either. Not that he was ever great, but there are worse pitchers who have jobs.

    Tommy Milone tonight will become the 27th different pitcher to start a game for the #mntwins since the beginning of 2011.

    Can you name the other 26?

    2. I don't know that number of different pitchers to start a game is all that interesting. For context, the Tigers have used 19 pitchers in that same stretch - only two more per season than the Twins. More telling is the number of starts given to bad starting pitchers.

      1. Appears can't do it easily for all teams. Not so random selections:
        Astros: 24.
        Athletics: 25.
        Cubs: 27.
        Indians: 18.
        Marlins: 27.
        Mets: 24.
        Royals: 22.
        Tigers: 18.
        White Sox: 20.

    3. I have 19.

            1. Oof, the spelling on a few is off. If one of them was right, I got 18/27.

              2. #s 1&2 - Thank you, good catches

                #3 - That's how DW listed them, and I was in copy/paste mode so I didn't even notice.

                All three are corrected. Please anyone let me know if they find anything else.

            2. Oooh, let's see if this works



              [ed: Fixed that for you. Needs to be either https or schemaless.]

                2. I went ahead and made it so both are acceptable, because I figure if I misspelled it, someone else will too.

  8. Hey sean, WGOM search doesn't seem to be working for me. I was wanting to find my ID the AU and find who I haven't posted yet, but I get nothing meaningful back.

    1. Where are you doing the search? The search on any page seems to only check contents of posts. To search comments has to be done via the dashboard comments page.

    Scratch that, I found the "renew" button. Let me know if you don't get an email.

    BREAKING: Actor Robin Williams has died at age 63, @MarinSheriff confirms

    2. Whoa is right. He was always one of my favorite comedians. That's not a popular sentiment in some circles - and you didn't have to like his work to respect him, so no judgement on those who didn't laugh at his humor - but I'll be darned if I didn't always enjoy watching him, even in his more generic fare.

        1. I'm with you guys. What Dreams May Come still sticks as one of my favorites of his, but it's a long list of movies I enjoyed, comedic or dramatic.

      2. He's not popular among comedians because he regularly stole material. I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to, though.

        I never liked his comedic acting, but I kind of loved him as a dramatic actor.
