Uh. Dave? Have you been getting into the Smarty Juice again? And isn't it supposed to be "Stroke Penumbra"?

C'mon - who're you trying to kid?
Except for Ramirez, Lopez, and Embarcadero, they're all jazz musicians.

In order:
Yup, Smarty Juice.
Nope, it's Skrote. Don't ask.
I'm trying to kid you, that's who.
And, all correct, but let's don't forget Eeph Crimple was both: The "Pride of Sauk City" was a southpaw spitballer & C-melody saxophonist.

O - right -
I'd forgotten the time Eeph brought the Crimplettes for a pre-game concert where afterward, Uecker was fined for shagging fly balls with the group's tuba.

If Spanky Molybdenum ran for president, I would vote for him sight unseen. That's my second-favorite element, after ytterbium.
