Odds and ends

Apparently they are playing like 20 innings today, because that's a lot of scheduled pitchers.
Toronto recently acquired Michael Schwimer from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for minor league first baseman Art Charles, which is the most baseball-sounding name ever.
R.A. Dickey still makes funny faces when he pitches.
