Dilettante Demonstrates Deftness Dealing with Dexter

Fowler did not have a noteworthy night at the plate, plopping a soft single in centerfield and working a walk.

Spin: Fowler was dealing with the Canadian Chameleon, commonly known as Erik Bedard (he also has some accents in his name somewhere), who’s 5.32 ERA does in fact indicate that he’s got a fleeting interest in pitching. Last night, though, enthused by the raucous Denver crowd and his increased propinquity to his native lands, he swapped his typical pregame routine of wearing a velvet robe, smoking Capri Slim 100s, and sipping dirty martinis with his pinky extended, and actually warmed up in the bullpen. 

We fully expect Fowler to bounce back tonight when he faces American-born hurler Lucas William Bradley Harrell, whose name is as egregiously large as his ERA. Also, Erik Bedard is this guy’s cousin. And alliteration is fun.
