I think it's safe to assume this wasn't by design. Random at-bats got posted here this afternoon by the bot instead of in today's thread. I PM'ed kikutaro about it during the game; I'm confident he'll stamp out whatever bug was responsible.
I've deleted all the posts in this thread that belonged in today's (6/17) game thread. No point in moving them - they'd be appended to the end of the thread there, and there's no good way to get them into the proper sequence.
