Nice reward for the great season he is having.

Hope he still gets acknowledged but I'd be shocked if he pitches given what happened yesterday.
You may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"

More than half way through the season and 6 G, 21 IP and a 4.30 ERA are not all star stats. He is deservedly a top prospect, but between the suspension and the recent ouchie, we have not seen very much yet.

I went back and included the sarcasm-alert since your meter is apparently broken.

Wasn't turned on.  I'm multitasking with watching the WC on the telly, doing a little paperwork, and screwing around on the internet and that went right past me.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Alvarez popped out, walked, singled (flare to left field) and grounded out in his four plate appearances in the game.
