Writing around the idea that baseball is a game slightly ahead of its time. A 'simple' game the qualities of which include physical and metaphysical paradoxes: the two dimensional diamond with-in the sphere; the struggle between individuals with-in a complex group dynamic.
Baseball is like a school of the Socratic method: it asks questions - the consideration of which lead to more questions - a process that illuminates a path towards critical thought.

The down-side of a great deadline trade experience - some players have to go
KC at Jays - Saturday, August 1, 2015
Game Notes.
Kawasaki is in the order to show case him for a waiver trade - and everyone in the dugout today knows it; not one person is even acknowledging that he's in the dugout - like the pitcher with the no-hitter going, no one's talking to him - no one wants to go near the guy who's going down in a clubhouse that is in the midst of a huge shakup.
Reveres grimaces when he tosses the ball back to the infield on a shallow out in LF.
With runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out Buehrle hits the batter on the first pitch. Was that a pitch saving intentional BB? I think it looked like it was.
Jays lose 6-7 in 9 with the winning run 90 feet away.
