Organization: NSSL

Maybe I missed something, but I was under the impression Kevin
Young was an outfielder.  In any event, in the opening game of
the American Assoication season last night, Young started at third
for Buffalo against Oklahoma City and John Wehner played 1B.  
Young went 3 for 5, including a double.  His lead-off single 
in the 6th started a 3-run rally that tied the game at 4 and he
then singled in the go-ahead run in the 7th.  He doubled in the 
8th and scored the final Buffalo run in a 9-7 win for the Bisons.
Mark Petkovsek started for Buffalo, allowing the first three men
he faced to score before settling in and allowing only 1 more
run over 5 innings.  Ironically, Petkovsek was the Opening Night
starter for OKC last year, when he only made it into the third
inning.  So, things may be looking up for Mark.:-)  Roger Pavlik
pitched well for 5 innings for OKC, before allowing the first
three men to reach in the 6th and getting taken out of the game.

Now that the Opening Night madness is over, it's safe for me
to go back to All-Sports Stadium.  Tonight is scheduled to be 
the seven-week-old's first baseball game in person.

WRONG!!! Those of us in the west coast saw the San Diego Padres-Cincinnati Reds
game on ESPN instead of the scheduled Toronto Blue Jays-Detroit Tigers game.

Also, ESPN televised only some highlights of that game and switched over to
the Baltimore Orioles' game instead of the San Francisco Giants-Los Angeles
Dodgers game.

I would love to have seen Cecil Fielder's (who graduated from Nogales High
School, La Puente, CA in 1981) homer in the ninth off Jack Morris.

Well, I'm glad you asked... Though rare, they once roamed the streets
of Montreal quite freely, but recent measures have put an end to that.
Y'see, any suspected Jays fans---they can usually be rooted out by using 
a variety of mating calls peculiar to the species, for example, "Oh, oh, 
oh, I've got a pair of tickets to the Skydome, the World's Greatest 
Entertainment Center," and "I managed to get some of the mud off of 
Kelly Gruber's cleats and I'm keeping it in this hermetically-sealed 
plastic bag, can you imagine?"---are stripped, tarred, pasted with the 
logos of certain AL teams (the Twins' logo is particularly effective 
this year), and then forced to watch videotapes of the most memorable 
chokes in team history.  This is a remarkably humbling experience that not 
only results in the fan's complete conversion to another team---after 
the treatment, in fact, the fan is often puzzled and even disturbed by 
his or her previous devotion to the Jays---but it also helps to keep 
the streets relatively clean...

But I don't recognize the authority of the "rules committee" to tell me what

So throw it out with the rest of the garbage :-).

Major League Baseball has absolute authority over the rules of the game, but
they do *not* have any authority over nostalgia, which is what records and
feats and such are all about.  If "Morgan Le" Fay Vincent doesn't want to 
consider Harvey Haddix and Andy Hawkins to have pitched no-hitters, that's
his own problem, but he can't keep me from knowing better.  Just as I use
stats that tell me what I want to know (as opposed to "official" stats, like
errors and RBIs), I will remember feats that I wish to remember, and not the
ones that They tell me to remember.

He missed his first start due to shoulder stiffness, but there was no

	I have never given up on a team so early in the season before.
But from what I have seen of the Royals so far unless something major
changes, are in for a long season.
	The things I liked: Kevin Appier and Tom Gordon pitched pretty
good. Not over powering but well enough to win. Neal Heaton pitched
great for 4 innings in Wed. 13th inning affair. So good that I wished
he had pitched Monday instead of Montgomery. Jeffries made some great
plays at 3rd base including fielding a hard shot down the third base
line that he caught behind third and still got R. Henderson at first
with a strike. What defense, what an arm. And wally also played a good
first base. 
	The things I didn't like: The Royals bullpen is a disgrace.
Aquino and Heaton both did well but everybody else was terrible.
Shortstop and @nd base look real week. Howard and Shumpert both had
trouble with easy plays and not one double play chance was completed.
The Royals got enough hits to score big but they weren't timely.
Mcrenoylds(SP?) had a chance to make spectacular play in right but the
ball was just over his outstretched glove. Every time the Royals had
runners in scoring position and two outs, and I wished G. Brett was up
it was Mcrenoylds instead and he always made the out. I think Brett
should batting 3rd or 4th. In one game Mcrae Sr. put Eisenriech in
left field and moved Miller to second and had Wilkerson to short. The
defense up the middle seemed to me to be remarkably improved. 
	Anyway except for a lot of new faces the Royals seemed to play
about the same as they have for the last fews years. Wait till next
year? What for.

Sabo - Is doing some running and the Reds are sending him to Nashville for a 
       few games.  He is expecting to play next week.

Dibble - Is throwing on the side and is expected to join the Reds for their 
         upcoming road trip.

Larkin - Has a bruised left arm and a twisted left knee.  He might play Friday.

Morris - As you heard, is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a fractured right
         hand.  

Reds GM Bob Quinn said that Dave Martinez will be the Reds' starting first
baseman.  Billy Doran has also played some first base during spring break and
played there Tuesday night.

Van Slyke has one or more degenerating disks in his back which do not 
require surgery.  Doctors have advised occasional rest and believe that 
AVS, given that, will be OK.  Hopefully, the Pirates will simply rest him
against tough LHPs, whom he can't hit well anyway, and let him play as much 
as possible vs. RHPs (.307/.396/.516 last season).

How are these stats?  5-14, 4.64 ERA?  That's Rick Sutcliffe the same year.
How's about 9-11, 4.19?  Sanderson, 1986.  Sure, you don't want your
pitchers to have a 4.57 ERA, but replacement level in 1986 for 201 innings
is still far worse than what Eckersley posted.  In Wrigley Field.

The average NL pitcher gives up 1.3 baserunners per inning.  In 1986,
Eckersley gave up 1.35 baserunners per inning.  In Wrigley Field.
It wasn't like he was trying out for the Acker team, either, giving
up around 0.9 HR per nine innings, unlike Sanderson's 1.1.  Eckersley
had bad luck that year, certainly wasn't a top pitcher, but he wasn't
too far below average.

Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1992 14:29:42 GMT



     Here is some late news on the Ottawa, Ontario, Triple-A franchise
due to start play in 1993.

1. The name of the team will be the Ottawa Lynx. A lynx is type of
   wildcat simlar to a bobcat; the plural is lynx or lynxes, but so
   far the papers around here use lynx.  The name was chosen through a
   "Name-the-team" contest sponsored by Pepsi (a co-sponsor of the
   team) and the Ottawa Sun. This name appealed to the owner because
   "lynx" is the same in English and in French.

2. The Lynx have announced the hiring of their GM, Tom Maloney. Mr.
   Maloney was formerly GM of the attendance record-setting Denver
   Zephyrs, so this looks like a very smart move by the owners.
   (Especially since I was worried they might have someone "suggested"
   by the Expos.)

3. No official announcment has been made about a major league
   affiliation, but it is 99% certain that it will be the Montreal
   Expos, who are only 120 miles away.  This would leave Indianapolis
   open for a new affiliation. Maybe Dombrowski will hook the Marlins
   up with Indy; why not, he took a lot of other stuff from the 'Spos.

4. No announcement as to which AAA league the Lynx will play in. The
   PCL is out, but both the AmerAssoc and the IntLeague want them.
   The IL is the prefer choice of locals because most teams are
   geographically closer, and we'd get to see the Syracuse Chiefs
   (Toronto Blue Jays).

5. The stadium plans are being challenged by some neighbourhood
   whiners, but city council has passed the plans, and the Ontario
   Municipal Board hearing on April 27 should go smoothly, with
   shovels to hit the ground the following month.

As I have said on the net previously, the owner of the team, Mr.
Howard Darwin, is the nicest man on the planet.  My own league can't
do much for him baseball-wise but as a token of our appreciation for
bringing AAA to Ottawa, we are giving him, free of charge, two pages
in our annual magazine to do with whatever he wants. (Season ticket
form, article about the team, whatever.) He has asked me for some help
with a computer purchase and has invited me to meet with himself and
Mr. Maloney next week.  You don't think I'm pumped?

Stay tuned.

Smiley did fine. The grand slam came after the Twins 5th error of the game,
so all the runs were unearned. 
   
The Twins saw the awesome power of the Ranger's bats tonight, however. 
Erickson had a no-hitter into the fifth inning, and a 1-hitter into the
sixth when Texas went nuts. We were leading 6-0 and ended up losing the
game in the 10th inning. Tomorrow night Mahomes gets his turn at them.
