April 26, MileHighHotCut

Earlier today, at 11:50 central daylight, you said:  The HotCut stays in Colorado.  After last night, I have no choice.

That makes it three in a row for this MileHightCut.  I have been watching it for the last half hour or so.  Trea launched one, making it 3-0 Nats...now R-Zimm strokes one peak-form to right, leg kick, torque: he looks amaZing.  That's his eighth of the year.  Wow!  The Rox were threatening earlier but D.J. LeMahieu GIDP.  A Nats offense of: Eaton, Turner, Harper, Zimmermann, Murphy...Rendon, Werth...is ironclad.

The Blues, by the way, are losing 3-1 after two periods.  They need a miracle in the third.

Camera on Dusty but I cannot confirm a toothpick.  He was working something in his mouth.  Dusty versus Bud as managers, 21 wins each.  All kinds of Dusty footage, mouth movement, spitting.  Smoke but no fire.  The broadcast is talking about his infamous son—the near collision near home plate in the World Series—and it seems that son will be drafted this summer.

Roark dials T for trouble and the Blues tie it!

The persistent rain, finally, did cease.  I took June out, the Blues lost, the 'Cut rolled on, Washington working out of bases loaded, bases loaded.  It's 9-2 in Denver, quiet in Coors.  Eaton reaches on an E-3 that shoulda been a hit.  Turner laces a double.  Harper singles, makes it 11-2.  If the Rox make this a game again it will go down in history, bottom 8.

Arenado, 5-3.  CarGo, BB.  Reynolds...CarGo to second on defensive indifference.  Reynolds K.  Broadcast says Felix to the DL, so too Span.  This is a slog.  Parra 2B, CarGo scores.  Dusty out.  Grace on.  Amarista sends one back up the middle, it's 11-4.  Wolters 5-3, end 8.

With one out, bottom nine, Blackmon 4-3.  D.J. with an 0-for-3 and a walk so far.  He goes 5-3 and that is all.

I go to the A's-at-Angels and Trout is on first.  He goes but...he was called safe...it was very close.  I think he was out, but the band plays on.  Pujols, 1B, RBI.  Angels 4-2.  I don't know the numbers exactly but I believe Pujols has an average of .200 or so and...16 RBI.  He is five behind Ted Williams in some stat.  Hits?  Can't be.  [Ed. note: In fact, as I type this in May 2017, Albert has 2859 career hits to the Splinter's 2654.]  Maybe RBI.  Simmons singles sharply to left center and Albert attempts first to third.  He half-slides, really stumbles into third, that was a hard landing.
