Actual Rich Harden tattoo.

2. Pitcher and Team NERD scores for every one of this weekend’s games.

3. The superlative adjective bumpinest, apparently.

One Night Only: Game Previews, June 28th-30th


There’s no reason to fear change.

This edition of One Night Only contains:

1. Previews for six games, all of them (i.e. the previews) aimed equally at the heart and the head.

2. Pitcher and Team NERD scores for every game between Tuesday and Thursday.

3. This Programming Note:

What you see here, reader, is a three-day, working-week edition of One Night Only. I understand that this (a) represents a change and also that (b) change is frightening; how-ev-er, it’s the opinion of this author that games might (I say might!) be sufficiently previewed in two weekly (i.e. a Tuesday and Friday one) editions, thus freeing same author (in this case, Carson Cistulli) to more ably divert his attentions to other baseball-related splendors*.

*Like, for example, the stupid-excellent interview with Grant Brisbee of McCovey Chronicles that’ll be appearing at this site later today.

Because we’re looking into the future, of course, it’s possible that the slate of games for Thursday will change in the interim. As such, I will likely revisit this post over the course of its relevance — and will invite the readership to utilize the comments section to chastise me duly for failing to do same.

We’re in this together, reader. Not in a sexy way, necessarily. But also: sort of in a sexy way.

One Night Only: Hot Game Previews for June 20th


At least one of these words applies to the present edition of One Night Only.

This edition of One Night Only is limited in terms of written copy, on account of most of the author’s effort was expended in the pursuit of designing a cleaner, more user-friendly presentation for the daily slate of games — which design one can see by reading furtherly in the present post.
