the wife frowned upon calling him #22....had to settle for Davis.

I reminded her that George on Seinfield wanted to name his kid #7 (it was #7 right?)

No doubt, but, if you bend your knees/back and scoop that relatively easy grounder, your weight doesn't carry you forward and make you slide like that either - he looked very stiff on that play.

Totally agree, 44. Well done, Dusty. Not an easy move here.

Second impressive start in a row from the back half of the rotation.

I agree. But I also think he completely left the decision up to Bronson. Arroyo's not going to BS him.

True. I'll grant you that. But regardless, this field is a travesty. I've seen minor league fields in better shape.
