Saw a great Yes show last night near San Diego Howe and co. played with great energy. Schellen fits right in and they really did the CTTE album proud. Only down moment for me was the weirdly...

RIP to a guitar great and really nice man.

I had the honor of going out to dinner in Philly with Pat when I repped for the Evidence label. Pat was really a sweet guy and I'll never forget that...

Eddie got Allan signed to WB and Allan didn't even want Eddie to play on the recordings (according to Ted Templeman's book).
There is a live jam on YT with pretty crappy sound but tons of notes.

You can't take a shower for someone else but there is a great rule that keeps us from watching these guys up there swinging with what seems like a wet towel.

Charlie Morton said he hates hitting. ...

Yup and 2 titles.

Honest question...Would you rather have the Yanks or Sox results over that period?

Thank you, thank you very much. Unbelievable. Last place to ALCS for the 2nd time in a decade.

Kind of rooting for an all Sox series next. I'm watching the Chicago game in delay right now....

It was a bad send by Nevin but if Bogaerts doesn't throw that ball exactly where he did Judge might have sneaked his hand in. He was less than 2 feet from the plate when he got tagged. Xander made...

Carlson was so bad behind HP. 86% accurate for the game. 5% below average. Pretty even though. 8 bad calls favored the Sox, 9 favored the Yanks.



Not really.
The first Stanton single...

Very true, It really paid it ALL back but there is some symmetry with 1978 here.

I was at Fenway the 2 games before the '78 game. Eck's 20th win and Luis Tiant winning to force a 163. Then we...

No JD for the Sox and no DJ for the Yanks tonight.

I'm going to try to stay calm. It's only baseball, right? I'm feeling like some payback for 1978 is in order though.

Did the Yanks catch the Rays yet? :lol

Since Hunter Renfroe came back from his father's funeral he's been close to the best player in baseball. What a throw last night to end the game and the...

They changed the rule book strike zone before (after 1968) so no reason they can't change it again. New rules are happening all the time. Some good, some maybe not so good.

I really don't...

Right, how can the horizontal borders be the same for Judge and Altuve?

Since everything on the field is now measurable maybe they could gauge the height of a player and form the zone on that...

So true... now when is the next game!!!

Judge seems like a good guy but him blasting "New York, New York" at Fenway in the playoffs three years ago didn't end up too well for him either. Wasn't the next game 16-1 Sox in NY? Altuve...

And a new all-star rule just for him will let him stay in the line up as the DH even after he is done pitching.

I'm going with the best guitarist I've seen play together.

Eric Clapton - Jeff Beck - Jimmy Page -ARMS Tour
Steve Morse - Allan Holdsworth -Freeway Jam encore in Philly, 1983
Beck - Stevie Ray...

So stupid of Maddon to bat him leadoff on a mound day. But all's well that ends well. :lol

What a nice idea. I would love to take part in this thoughtful gesture and would be happy to pay shipping.

Well, I meant what fixing it meant to you. For the record the mound was lowered not raised after '68 to help batters. It was at 15 inches for many decades prior to that.

Red Sox are still in...

"Fix the game" means what exactly? How would you go about it besides bringing back the slightly more homer prone ball?

MLB Now had a lot of talk today about "fixes". Moving the mound back is a...

Execution matters. Yanks couldn't get the bunt down or move their runner. O's did.

One thing that really sunk in last year was that it's all very silly (sports) and of course, very important.

No one is taking the game out of the players hands. Players still must execute to score and get outs. It's just easier to score in extras on each side.

I think losing with a perfecto would be...

I think he means there is a bit more strategy with the new rule. Right off the bat the bunt is in play. Good point about the viewership, not sure what he is basing that on but he does work for MLB...

What is the big deal about pitcher wins and losses here? We realize that pitcher W-L is not really a great stat to determine value, right?
deGrom is now 2-2 this year. 10-9 in 2018 Has he been...

Nice comeback. Yeah, I usually watch multiple games a day and played hardball till I was 50 but because I'm advocating for a fair result, sooner than later, after 9 innings of baseball, I don't...

Counterpoint---
I like the extra inning rule. It's odd and a bit little league but that's ok. Get the game over with and NO ties.
162 three hour games is a lot of baseball already. Extra innings...

Try 7digital if you can. They should have the lossless flac files. $1.79 each I believe. To me mp3(320) is equal to cd quality sound but ymmv.

Great, fun interview. What a music freak Marc is!

A doubleneck guitar like this has one neck set for 12 strings (on top) and one for 6 strings.

Thanks for that. Always great to hear from Steve. He's the best.
I'll never forgot talking to him backstage after a solo gig and he told us he was going to be joining Kansas. He seemed a little...

Yes, Ted signed them to WB and was their producer through 1984. He give big props to Donn Landee the engineer on those records as well. I just finished reading Templeman's book on his career...

Jason did two "Zeppelin" gigs. I was at the one in 1988 for Atlantic Records 40th anniversary concert. They closed out a long day and night with a 30 min set.
Also saw Yes, Genesis, CSN,...

I was thinking Abba, and we know Sreve is a fan.

^That's great. Thanks for getting this out.

I use it all. Really can't say which would be the most.
Flac files in Foobar, Vinyl, CDs, Youtube and Google Play, even cassettes once in a while in the van (no 8-tracks though).

I like the first album quite a bit. The 2nd one is just so-so.

Now here's a curio. Roger with one Reg Dwight (Elton) and a single that came out pre-Tramp.
...

We've been here before. They did not break up (Roger leaving) till the tour was completed but it seems they did have to cancel the show you would have seen for some reason. Too bad, the show in...

It is not. TYA was done by Friday Music not MoFi. Never heard it myself.

How about just a best of October 10, 1969. These three released the same day according to wikipedia.

Zappa - Hot Rats
King Crimson - ITCOTCK
The Kinks - Arthur

I played all three the...

The thing about relievers is the volatility. Their performance is more variable as they usually have fewer out pitches to rely on than starters (see-Ottavino, Joe Kelly). Then there is the usage...

Directions to get to 1st base.
Leave the batters box in fair territory.
Run straight toward the base.
At the first double line, veer right towards foul territory.
10 feet before the base,...

Yeah, what a roll the Nats are on but it really began on May 24. Because of their horrible start we mostly overlooked their FIVE full months of dominance.

Record since May 23
Nats 83-40...

More detail on the disgusting Astros incident from the twitter of David Folkenflik

It was the worst ump job in the playoffs so far. I was stunned while watching that game.
The ump stats-- 87.9% correct. 20 incorrect pitch calls and 14 went the Houston's way, 6 for the Yanks. ...

CC was a great pitcher and seems like a great guy/teammate but his career ended appropriately. He announced his retirement months ago meaning he knew his body could not do it much longer. He was...

The Sox missing the playoffs was almost worth watching that performance last night. What perverse pleasure we get from sports.

That said, I almost feel bad for this guy getting booed last night. ...

I do this all the time. Many Yes edits and extensions where I often combine different versions.

I took a long time with Tales... and it's still over 70 minutes.
The Ancient starts with Leaves of...

Houston vs Washington could bring some pretty cool pitching match ups.

Ex-Tigers Verlander vs Scherzer
Ex-SoCal Strasburg (SDSU) vs Cole (UCLA)
Ex-D-Backs Greinke vs Corbin

Great start and finish by the Stros tonight. Cole with another Cy Young performance. 3 straight ALCS appearances.
Pretty great run by the Rays this year. They had a ton of injuries and figured...

I hadn't known the Rays were last in payroll this year. There are your mgr and front office of the year, imo.

Interesting about CC. I thought he went 1 scoreless inning in relief last week to...

Some cool things a couple of Red Sox did while the team won 24 games less than last year.

Rafael Devers and Xander Bogaerts (left side of the Sox infield, 3B + SS) became the only teammates in...

Here are the win totals. First number is projected wins from opening day. Second number is actual wins. 6 of the 10 projected playoff teams made the PS. The Red Sox were the only AL team to...

What a career and so many big games. His first one with the Reds included Aaron's 714th HR (not in one game).

9 HRs allowed in 20 innings for Kimbral. Can't get much worse than that. The current Sox closer Brandon Workman has a BA against around .130 this year. He's been great though he did not start the...

I saw that Bppne announced that the Yankee starter usage in the PS would probably be altered with less innings asked of each guy and two paired up in some games. We will see. No doubt the pen will...

Since the plan seems to be to piggy-back starters in the PS except for Paxton, won't they need 5 starters? Who would be their 5th if not German?

CC's post season chances may have jumped up a bit. German will miss at least a week as MLB investigates a domestic violence issue.

Pretty crazy that yesterday I read that John Paul Jones was the first one to get Bowie high on weed and today I read that Robert Plant did the same with Jon.
