Owings on to pitch. His batting average must have reminded them of a pitcher.

Owings pitched better than Bolton.

this could have been a good game to use Underwood rather than any game with a close score.

A neighbor stopped by and saved me from seeing what happened in the 7th. Glad I didn’t have to live through that.

You owe that neighbor a beer

Sadly, it looks like Surg and I are crawling our way back into the Pre-Season Prediction Poll.

Maybe nothing short of a full dinner would be in order.

Baseball Reference lists 168 MLB players with enough ABs to qualify. Kyle Schwarber has the honor of being 168th with a BA of .168. Hedges doesn't qualify because he has only 86 ABs. But he's batting .163. Hayes qualifies. His .221 BA puts him in 147th place out of 168. Which makes him one of the worst hitters in MLB. Only 12% of those who have enough ABs to qualify are worse than Hayes.

I should add that at least Schwarber draws walks and has an OBP of .323. That's 106th of 168. Hayes doesn't draw walks. His OBP is .275 which is 160th of 168. That's abysmal.
