Dr. Yogi Is (Still) In

 This is getting ridiculous.  Avisail Garcia and Tyler Saladino of the White Sox were at it again last night, garnering six hits between them, only this time Garcia had four as the White Sox beat the Indians, 11-4.   Baseball is fifty percent half mental?  All coaches would do well to have a master’s in psychology at the very least.

And while they’re at it, they should picket the dugout or anywhere else Indians’ manager Terry Francona shows up.  Back in the 1970s, Mike Hargrove earned the nickname of The Human Rain Delay for how he fidgeted every at-bat into an eternity.  Francona is HRD II.  The man has never met a reliever he wouldn’t use (quick, somebody ship Matt Albers to Cleveland), and now he has the September expanded roster to play with.  The Indians are carrying 19 (!) pitchers, seven of whom put in appearances on the mound in last night’s game.  The parade of pitchers couldn’t keep the Sox from scoring in every inning.  That’s only been done 20 times in 116 years.

Here’s hoping it happens again, every time Francona dips into his playpen.
