    He may need Lynn to play a position later today.
  2. Nine of twelve
    If Wi There are other players on the roster. The other 4 starting pitchers for example.

    Someone not watching this game would look at 9-7 in the 5th inning at Wrigley and think the wind must be blowing out.

    Not the way we'd want Astudillo to debut.

    Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make.

    Wendlestadt may be letting the heat get to him and missed calling him safe.

    Cmon boys keep this 2-out action going.

    Great play by Cave making them pay for bad baserunning.
  9. Nine of twelve
    That was fun to watch.

    Managing in the minors is much different from managing in MLB because player development and teaching are by far the most important things. As a result, decisions about who plays where and does what and when are approached much differently. My opinion is that a long-term MLB coach is probably better prepared to manage in MLB than a long-term minor league manager.

    OK boys, if they can hit a wind-blown HR we can hit three. Go get 'em!

    Interesting. It is an odd starting time but not being familiar with the Cubs I thought maybe they did that every Friday.

    I haven't read any of the previous 145 posts. I don't know if I'll be able to slog through all that later or not. But in general I would not sell anyone who could be valuable in 2019. The team should be preparing for a big push next season because I think it's reasonable to expect that having Polanco, a rehabilitated Buxton, and a rehabilitated Sano in the lineup will produce a quantum leap in offensive production over this year's team. That means Dozier, Lynn, Rodney, and possibly Mauer should be the ones on the list to be traded. Escobar, as high as his value is right now, should not.

    Actually, you are both wrong. The game will be starting at 4:05 PM CDT, 6/29/18, which is the same as 5:05 AM HK time, 6/30/18.

    This is a good point. I hadn't thought about it and it would make sense for that to be true, especially during the first season as pitchers become acclimated to the change.

    The goal of any changes (IMHO) should be to have more batted balls playable by fielders. In other words, decrease the number of walks, strikeouts, and home runs. I've said this before, but: 1.) Enlarge the strike zone. This forces batters to swing more often and earlier in the count, and also means fewer hard hit balls. However, this would also mean more K's unless you also... 2.) Lower the mound. This helps to counteract the effects of a larger strike zone by making pitches easier to make contact with. 3.) Soften the baseball. Similar effect to moving fences back but this would actually be feasible. Do not make changes to the number of balls needed for a BB. Do not limit shifts. Do not limit pitching changes. I could live with a pitch clock but only with the bases empty. Same with a similar rule for batters, but only with the bases empty.

    My favorite musical as well. Of all time. By far.
  18. Nine of twelve
    That long.

    Sitting here today.

    Falvine should come to the clubhouse after this game, shake Belisle's hand, congratulate him on a good major league career and wish him well in his future endeavors.
  21. Nine of twelve
    Hey everybody! Pay attention! We're about to see the last major league appearance of Matt Belisle. I hope.
  22. Nine of twelve
    I'll take credit for the anti-jinx, thank you.
  23. Nine of twelve
    The defense will be called back on the field.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Scored a run but it was still a very bad inning.
  25. Nine of twelve
    This is good, but it should be 4-2, 2nd and 3rd with nobody out.
