As Seen on TV

This is exactly what what seen on TV today...Target Field.

Other than the new cathedral in downtown Minneapolis, there has been a lot going on in baseball the last few days, such as, like, such as...

Neftali Feliz and (presumably) Jim Johnson have taken over at closer for the Rangers and Orioles.  I hinted at this Saturday.  Feliz converted his first chance today, and is the verdadero negocio.

Staying with the Rangers, and staying in Espanol, Nelson Cruz is en fuego.  No letdown from him this year.

Luke Hochevar of the Royals is pitching pretty well.  He's 1-0 with a 2.84 and 7 K's in two starts.  I need to see more K's before I'm buying, but I'm at least looking.

CBY is still hittng.

Two younger outfielders, Jay Bruce and Travis Snider, had better start hitting or they are going to end up in AAA.

Chris Perez looks like he's the next closer to go down.  He has been brutal, and was again today when he faced three without getting an out.  The Indians website lists Joe Smith as next on the depth chart, but that seems odd to me...

Guess who is leading the ML in stolen bases?  Scott Podsednik of the Royals.  He'll get to 50 if he keeps getting at bats.

Ryan Howard and Dustin Pedroia, two guys who normally start slow, are red hot, for what that's worth.  Both could have monster years.

Also (quietly), Magglio Ordonez is sitting at .387 with two jacks.

Miguel Olivo is outplaying Chris Ianetta in Colorado.  Wouldn't surprise me if Olivo starts pressing for the starting position.

Cheers,
