There is another place I used to go to that played live music (it was on University) that had a lot of different rooms. I’d have to go there – been a long time since I hung out in Berkeley.

But about Kuroda, there’s no excuse for him — he’s a vet from the Japan leagues. I don’t think this is the actual first playoffs he’s pitched in.

That was me. Only thing is that he bats L, throws R,
which means his throwing arm/shoulder is doing most of the work to swing the bat. If his right arm is injured to where it hurts to throw, it would be less likely he could swing as easily and effectively as he’s hitting in the series. But I still wonder.

I wonder if it could be his elbow, not his shoulder
He could have tennis elbow — that would make it hard to throw the ball, because pressure against the index and middle fingers would hurt, but it might not affect his hitting.
I haven’t read any reports about an injury, but he just can’t throw right now, so unless he’s suddenly become Steve Sax or Chuck Knoblauch, it really looks like something’s wrong with his arm.
FWIW, he hit great all season until September, when his batting fell off a cliff.

No one there suggested that Utley might be injured — some think this is just a random episode of bad throwing, others think he might be catching SaxKnoblauch disease.

One of our cats is obsessed with these little cotton puffballs that we got a few years ago for our kids to use in craft projects. She found a bag of them in a closet, tore a hole in the bag, and goes in there from time to time to pull out another few victims.
She swats and chases them all over the house during Crazy Time. She also plays fetch with me — she trots over to me with with a fuzzy puffball in her mouth (as if it were a mouse), drops it in front of me, and chases it and brings it back when I throw it.

He would be,
but he split the year between the AL and the NL, so neither league will really give him a look.

It's really difficult to say that Anderson's gonna be one of the best pitchers on the game.
I mean, it’s a possibility for him to reach that quality, but it’s never really a certainty.
But he’s kinda similar, pitch-wise. Lefty, not the greatest velocity. But Lee is more a fastball/cutter/changeup guy, where Anderson is more a fastball/slider/changeup person.
