        1. April/May: 163/189/306
          June: 209/239/349
          July/Aug: 194/282/274

          I would like to find some comfort in the K "trend" you cite. But you have to be pretty optimistic to interpret his OBP improvement from "train-wreck" to merely "terrible" as encouraging.

          1. on the season for Buxton:

            ahead in count: 322/432/525 (75 PA)
            even in count: 233/254/367 (64 PA)
            behind in count: 064/064/115 (79 PA)

            His backwards K rate is 6.6 pct, compared to 4.4 pct last year. His swinging K rate is 30.7 pct, compared to 27.9 pct last year.

            those "improvements" in OBP from April/May to June to July/August are based on a progression from 2 walks in 53 PA to 4 walks in 93 to 7 walks in 72.

    1. The tiles outside his former bourbon street club will see a lot of traffic this weekend. I've always enjoyed running into his half fast walking club on Mardi Gras day.

    2. The wife and I saw him in Iowa City when we were young and poor, we got some free tickets at the TV station that I snagged. It was very good, he had a great band behind him.

  1. According to Elias Sports, Eddie Rosario’s two-run, pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning Friday marked the first pinch-hit home run that turned a deficit into a lead for the Twins since Matt LeCroy’s ninth-inning pinch-hit grand slam against Toronto on May 19, 2004.
