When do you guys think Brent Rooker is going to get his chance? Been crushing AAA lately.

 

Really like Arraez. He may end up being a key piece in a trade moving forward.

Cave is like 25 and already has grey in his beard. Yikes. 

I'm 32 with plenty of grey in my beard, and also bald

Cave is just a liability at this point

He's quite a distinguished 25.

cave should borrow sano's new bat.

Sano should not be bashed for his defense on the near-triple play. As PDX said he played it correctly. His responsibility during a rundown is to stay at least a few feet toward home plate from third base. If he's standing on the bag it creates a potential opening for the runner in the rundown to get back to the base. If anything it should have been Polanco or even Rosario backing up Sano at the base.

I think Rooker should borrow Cave's spot on the roster

Warning, nitpick alert:

On the unusual play in the bottom of the first Dicknjack referred to the contact between Merrifield and Astudillo as possible obstruction. This is incorrect. Interference is when a baserunner illegally interferes with a fielder or a ball in play. Obstruction is when a fielder illegally obstructs a baserunner's progress. It may not seem like a big deal but these guys have been involved with baseball in one way or another for probably 100 years between them. They are ostensibly professionals. I don't think it's too much to ask for them to use correct terminology.

Thank you for indulging me.

I believe this is the second time you have correctly pointed this out. If only Dickbert would lurk the game thread.

[MNT1996]

Polanco is just a hitting machine

CROM!!!!!!!

CROM!!!!!!!

CJ Cron has as many RBI through yesterday's game as Mauer had for the entire 2018 season.

Hey, thanks for paying attention! Yes, it's the second time recently. Unfortunately I have trouble restraining myself from pointing out mistakes that should not be made.

Ran an errand so missed Sano's blast. He must read this site, because he followed our advice to a T(D) -- let a couple balls go by, then swing. Works every time.

[Nine of twelve]

Cron should have been standing on first base. Infield fly was called so he did not have to be in position to try to advance to second. A major leaguer should know that. I'll give him a break that it was a brain cramp but I'll bet he'll be reminded about that in the dugout.

Edit: see post #37.
