A team he hopes to play for someday...
The Texas Rangers beat Felix Hernandez (again) 1 - 0 (again, I think) last night. Behind Nick Tepesch, who has been looking once again like a AAAA pitcher...someone too good for AAA, but not good enough for the big team. So that was nice. I doubt they win the next two games, but the Rangers have twenty wins against Hernandez, so it wasn't (bizarrely) unexpected.
The best news of the week though is that Joey Gallo, promoted from Hi-A to AA Frisco five days ago, has the following stat line for Frisco:
If this keeps up, I imagine Texas wants to see his walk and strikeout rate drop a bit. However, I'm gonna quote Newberg again:

.368/.455/.1053 1-2B,4-HR,10-RBI,20 total bases, 3-BB,8-SO.Gallo was promoted to Frisco because High-A pitchers were clearly not challenging him anymore. Literally. Everyone knew he would probably hit it, you couldn't throw it where he couldn't unless you walked him. Gallo was drawing intentional walks in the tuning and polishing league. No point in leaving him there.
If this keeps up, I imagine Texas wants to see his walk and strikeout rate drop a bit. However, I'm gonna quote Newberg again:
Joey Gallo’s fourth home run in five days as a RoughRider on Friday doesn’t even register as high on the "Holy S†scale, but I would point out that last night’s bomb in Corpus gave him 13 road homers for the season (in only 31 games), and he has gone deep this year on April 13, on May 13, and on June 13. Then again, really, it feels like the odds were only slightly against that, and I’m no longer going to upbraid anyone who suggests to me that Gallo could be in Arlington before September 13.

Just as a FYI, you can adjust the width of a video when you create the post. You would use the following format:
youtube=xyzpdqwww size=640x
The bold part is the important bit. Change the 640 to whatever the width of your column, and you're golden! Of course, it's all supposed to be in brackets, which I left out, lest I post a video in your comments.

I usually set them for 480 wide here; is it getting squeezed or not resizing? It's working for me, but I've only seen it on a gecko-based browser.

No, it works, it's just... smaller than it needs to be. Unless you have a variable width column, which floats to monitor size, which would be a neat trick!
Anyway, here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

I can't remember why now, but there was a reason I was setting the videos to 480 instead of 640. Anyway, I changed this one to 640. It looks good to me, but if anyone has problems with it let me know.
And I have variable width center column on the MidniteTease blog that's percentage-based, but I don't think Minx can do it. In fact, a lot of blog systems don't support it, and even those that do frequently have styles and themes that don't.
