I'd say the last time we scored 7+ was that one Friday night
Forgot who we were playing, just remember calling it 10-run Friday

Brian Deon Barton
Fangraphs has BB’s middle name as Deon. Can we start calling him “Neon” now? How about just Ne?
"The steak may be tough, but you can always slide your fork through the gravy."
No
Deion Sanders got the nickname Neon Deion while playing at Florida State.
There have been a few nicknames thrown about for BB round these parts like:
Crabman
Rocketman
Cardinaut (I came up with this during a game last week sometime)

I prefer baseball snob
It’s kind of a term I came up with. Here in the south, football (particularly college football) is king, especially among my generation (age 24). Not very many people like baseball that I know, so I think of my baseball like it’s a fine wine that many people don’t appreciate.

True, football is beyond being a sport in Texas
But only in St Louis have I known more folks as really into baseball than in Texas. Not necessarily MLB baseball, though,.
in Kansas City
same deal. Although I can say if the Royals were my team, I’d be more of a football fan too….

those both looked like McGwire orbit shots rather than typical Pujols screaming line drives…..a lot more uppercut than he usually displays, I thought…..

kind of noticing the same thing. i was thinking that his home runs usually get out of the park in a hurry. both of the ones tonight took 10+ seconds to land.

So, question..
I’ve read some things about run suppression and temps. With the massive runner’s we’re putting on while the heart of the order has been coolish (overall)...
Do you think that we could really see some run production as things warm up?
It would be interesting to see how we’ve done this season based on temp and run production.
