Luke Easter collided with Gary Gentry on a play at first in the 5th and absolutely flattened Gentry. Gentry goes on the 21 day IL. The Diamondbacks have called up Tom Wilhelmsen. Easter had a mild ankle sprain and will miss 3 days. The Mudcats have called up Dmitri Young.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Hit this in training today. Fastest as a 39 year old.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Do the Gnats have any more games?

I wonder if anyone else in the league throws heat like you can.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

But maybe they are younger?

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Oh, and I forgot to ask: can any of those Nuke Lalooshes (sp?) hit like you do?
: )

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

So this around the level of A-Ball?

I tried to read the names and make due. I think that I correctly interpreted Vander Meer as one of the pitchers, but I really question your putting in The Dalai Lama at shortstop. At his age he should be the DH.

The Royals lost catcher Darren Daulton for 5 days with concussion like symptoms after taking a foul ball off the mask. Manager Gene Mauch has called up Gilly Campbell.

Amish Assassins OF Reggie Jackson was suspended for 5 games after he was HBP and escalated a bench clearing incident. Tommy Lasorda has called up Ken Griffey Sr.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Winningest manager without a pennant or WS; hopefully Mauch can get his club turned around. Maybe the Campbell call-up is the catalyst.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Details to come.
