I hadn’t realized that both had the same number. I thought they were just retiring Randy’s number. Good move. (I _should_ have realized it, I have a 51 Ichiro jersey) ---

As woebegone as the Mariners franchise has been throughout its history, it’s amazing to think that they managed to have two different HOF players who wore that somewhat unusual uniform number. ---

> [@Munch](#): > > He also has worked really hard on his English skills, and was really cute to watch when he did his first non-translator interview last year. I don’t envy these kids coming to the MLB and having to both play at the most elite level, but to also be a fish out of water in a country where you don’t speak the language. De La Cruz had his sister die this weekend. He chose to play afterwards before returning home, and hit a home run. ---

> [@Munch](#): > > For those that haven’t watching him play much, he’s an absolute delight on and off the field. He’s one of the most electric players in today’s game, and his enthusiasm for the game is visible. Don’t get me wrong: from what I’ve seen of him, he’s an outstanding player, very fun to watch, and I wish he wasn’t playing for one of my team’s division rivals. But, at this early point in his career, he’s definitely a free swinger, hence the strikeouts. ---

Shohei Ohtani has scored more than a run per game; he has 64 runs in 58 games. I believe the last player to score more than a run a game was Rickey Henderson in 1985. ---

The Braves are having a rough time. Today they had a 9-3 lead going into the 8th inning at home. Then a pitcher named Scott Blewitt gave up three home runs and two walks in 1 1/3 innings and another pitcher completed the debacle as the Braves lost to the Diamondbacks, 11-10. Blewitt\* is kind of an unfortunate name for a reliever. Bummer however had a good outing for them. \*Maybe it’s pronounced BLEE-witt. ---

I just came across this clip. The day after Armando Gallaraga’s perfect game was stolen by a bad call on what should have been out 27, umpire Jim Joyce met him at home plate to shake his hand and apologize. Joyce is visibly upset and apologetic, clearly knowing that his miscall cost Gallaraga a chance at the history books. It’s a real testament to Joyce, who I understand to be a widely regarded as a great umpire many respect. I really honestly don’t know why Selig and now Manfred haven’t overruled this. What would be lost by admitting this mistake?

> [@RickJay](#): > > Because it’d open up the floodgates to reversing a bunch of other calls. Is there a list of calls people have grievances about? Is the concern that it’ll become the presidential pardon of sports - that some jackass would reverse Denkinger’s call at first, and that would somehow result in the Cardinals winning the Series? ---

The Braves have sent Scott Blewitt to the Orioles in exchange for cash, after acquiring him from the Orioles earlier this season, also for cash. Thus is the circle of life. \*the Braves also called up Craig Kimbrel from Triple-A.
