Get Rleal

Congratulations to Sendy Rleal. In an ugly 18-9 Baltimore victory over the Indians, the rookie faced five batters and got them all out, the best performance of the night. Jason Davis did retire three batters with two strikeouts for the runner up best line of the night.

Otherwise, it was batting practice and fielding blunders. There were 35 hits, seven doubles, six homers and five errors. Neither side can be very happy with their overall defensive effort tonight.

The most notable thing about this whole, ugly mess (besides ex-Sox farmhand Kelly Shoppach getting his first major league hit) is that Danny Graves's major league career is in a huge crisis. Seeing him on the mound today reminded me of a death row inmate making his last walk to the chair. I could have swore he was crying at the end of it.

If he's still an Indian at the end of the year I'll eat my hat. I actually feel bad for the guy.

I gotta wonder--- what's the real pronunciation of Sendy Rleal's last name?

I figured it was ruh-lay-ahl.

I think about Cthulhu when I see his name. Something similar between Ryleh and Rleal.

Rleal = ray - ahl

But I have to wonder if the way the baseball announcers say it is the way Rleal's family actually says it.

Jon Miller is the BEST at names like that.
