BTW, one thing he should do is steal more. 21 for 22 means you should double your steal attempts. 

He needs singles and BB's to do that. I'm hoping for more doubles and triples too.

Just to make clear, nothing in the rules say that the guy called up to be the 26th man MUST be the guy sent down. There is no reason why Kyle Gibson, for example, couldn't be sent down instead.

Liking what I've seen from Aaron Slegers so far, tho I just got in for the 4th inning. Sneaky delivery, short-arms it while hiding the ball behind his head. Also appears to change speeds with no obvious tell. I'm not sure how much it would help to watch films of Slegers. Mechanics of each pitch looks almost exactly like the others. Hitters look confused, they can't get a read on his pitches.

Garver must be terrible to not be getting a chance over Gimenez 
26 year old batting .291 with 17 homeruns and 29 doubles in 320 PA

Too bad that's not good to beat .192, 5 homeruns, 4 doubles in 155 PA 
But it makes since that we'd want a 'defensive catcher' on our bench since Castro just rakes *laughs hysterically*
They must really love Gimenez's pitching

The circle Bert lady is from Nicollet. Does that have anything to do with Nicollet Park?

Yes. Both were named after an Irishman of some distinction, Nick O'Let.

If you're the opponent, you would have to consider, at this point, that loading the bases with less than two outs is a legitimate strategy to prevent scoring

11 men left on base so far, out hitting them 10-1... only up 1 

I love ranting

Yeah, can't imagine why the mood is testy in here. They're approaching the same number LOB as my graduating 8th grade class.
