Liked the little bat flip on the way to first 

That's got to be a pretty fun feeling.  A bat flip almost seems warranted.

They're making Wentz look like Kershaw from April. 

I think Carson wentz would carve us up tonight too

Congrats to Palacios! Always great to see a rook get their first hit, especially guys who aren't that highly regarded. I'll be interested to see if they add him to the 40 man roster after the COVID guys are clear, or if they try to sneak him through waivers. I think he's can have very similar production to Gordon, with a little less speed but more power and the ability to play SS.

Got my Cedar Rapids Kernels T today

Polacios seems like a good kid. I'm excited he has gotten a chance to play.

As a covid replacement, he didn’t have to be placed on the 40 man to appear in MLB, and doesn't need to be waived or burn an option to return to the minors.

I believe you have to still be sent through waivers to go back down. Didn't that happen with Cotton? Maybe I am wrong.

I appreciate that he re-signed with the organization after being traded. It's a win-win. We got Odorizzi for several seasons and now have Palacios back.

His signature looks like mine, but the J and the P are more legible.

Picked that card up last summer at a card show near Kansas City, it still has the $5 price tag on the back of the penny sleeve

I dunno...looks pretty easy to forge that signature.

So you're saying that I play a major league level outfield?!?!?  Sweet!

"the team can "add substitute players to its major league active list temporarily." Players added who are then sent back to the minors will not be considered to be an optional or outright assignment."

Sands giving up 4 runs in 3 innings is far less embarrassing than having 1 hit through 4 innings by a guy who made his MLB debut 6 hours ago and is only here because of 3 or 4 different injuries.

Let's just say if Jake Cave hits .300 with 50 homeruns I will be a wealthy man

Maybe we should loan him out to California during fire season.

Who would have thought that Carson Wentz would shut us down. I thought this would be a 12-10 game. 

[Parfigliano]

I wonder how much wagu a burger has to contain to be a "wagu burger"?  Would one pound wagu and 999 pounds regular beef do it?  Does the FDA Have rules about this?  Does my medication need adjusting?

I'd heard wagus were on the Endangered Species List

@Squirreland I were talking about this very thing upthread.  Just sayin.

There should be laws for this, like bourbon.
