    I wonder if they start making crew assignments based on specific series here down the stretch? I’d hate to think…for instance…that the Dodgers vs Padres, or Yankees vs Toronto would get Buckner’s crew in any remaining matchups.

    I wonder if Ober would have been offended if Buxton had asked him to be his pitcher at the Home Run Derby.

    Only themselves to blame. The union is…and always has been, dominated by the top-end of the money earners. The guys who have made it to their max payday. They’ve never prioritized the young major leaguer or the minor leaguer in negotiations. In fact they’ve done the opposite, conceding to ownership on issues related to the those players to ensure top $ potential for the top-end veterans. This seemed to change ever so slightly with the last CBA. But will it continue? No problem with Royce speaking his mind on it…although his 2025 production and the massive bonus at signing don’t make him the most sympathetic actor to raise the topic.

    Seem to be transitioning Raya to reliever? Maybe not…maybe just ‘stacking’. He can’t seem to get anyone out…or know where his pitches are going on a regular basis, so not sure it matters. The Saints saw our old friend Jordan Balazovic last night. Raya’s path and performance is starting to look too much like Balazovic’s.

    Extend Gasper.
  7. jkcarew
    Yes, after your first 100 million or so, you’d think it would shift a bit toward the latter.

    Pitch anyone. I wouldn’t consider it codling with Ryan because he’d never ask for it. (And maybe they have approached him on the subject?) More protecting an investment rather having him rack up innings in games that don’t matter. Although, if you know you’re going to be unloading him…
  9. jkcarew
    I don’t know why they haven’t skipped Ryan in the rotation yet…give him a break. I mean, there’s an argument to completely shutting him down. Not that I’d want that. He’s fun to watch.
  10. jkcarew
    He does have a way of making losing less stressful.
  11. jkcarew
    Buxton’s happy…not a peep out of him during this debacle, other than to praise ownership. If winning something…ever…is high on his professional priority list, it doesn’t show much.
  12. jkcarew
    But moving up pretty aggressively.
  13. jkcarew
    It might be easier to coach better hitters. I’m speculating.
  14. jkcarew
    Pohlads hoping to slide in the lottery. If they could trade the pick, they would.
  15. jkcarew
    Not much of a day for the hitters, either.
  16. jkcarew
    It’s that first time through the lineup for Bradley. Gotta figure out how to avoid letting him see the hitters for the first time. I can almost hear Rocco’s wheels grinding.
  17. jkcarew
    Who is this Rodriguez guy everyone keeps talking about? Where is he? There’s been no evidence in the last 6 weeks that such a player exists in the org. I’ve looked. No word from the organization, the media, or this site on the status of this player. I can see that a Rodríguez was removed from a Saints game on July 12 with a ‘side strain’. But the trail goes dark almost immediately after that. Nobody seems to know where he is, or what he’s doing.

    Have you ever watched the TV show The Price Is Right?
  19. jkcarew
    Hatch working his butt off for that ‘26 roster spot, tho

    In other minor league catcher news…happy birthday to Khadim Diaw who turns 22 today. I wonder what the relative projections are defensively for Diaw, Tait, and Jimenez?
  21. jkcarew
    This! And he’s pretty young for A ball, as well. The first deadline acquisition, and immediately went under the radar with the subsequent blow-up and higher-profile acquisitions. The BB/K ratio really is encouraging. Obviously, there’s been a major effort to upgrade the catching depth in the org. We’ll see how it goes.
  22. jkcarew
    You mean to say that they’re NOT going to put any of the money saved in the Pohlad’s Correa salary dump back into the team on the field?? But I thought getting rid of Correa would give them breathing room to do…‘something’…even a modest ‘something’,,,to better the team. Shocked, I tell you. Shocked! If you didn’t see this coming, you’re either not paying attention, or your fandom emotions have you blind.
  23. jkcarew
    No. To make a dent in the lack of respect issue, the extension would have had to been at least through the year 2065.
  24. jkcarew
    These games down the stretch are so nerve racking.
  25. jkcarew
    Huge assist to the umpire
