    Which team is this? I'm aware of no team with this nickname.
  2. Nine of twelve
    Classic Bremer: "Popped up behind first." Celestino catches it in medium RF.

    How? The ball hit the net before it was caught. It's a dead ball. The end. Edited to add: And Melvin got himself ejected afterward for nothing. Poor managing to let that happen.

    Nope. You could see the net ripple about 5 feet above where the catch was made. The only explanation is that the ball grazed the net. Good call by the reviewers.
  5. Nine of twelve
    RsBI.

    There is a noteworthy event that is taking place today. https://warnerbroscartoons.fandom.com/wiki/George_Jetson

    We don't have a player named Duffy.
  8. Nine of twelve
    AJ. I don't care to write the last name.
  9. Nine of twelve
    I don't have any insight on the signature, but the logo on the bat is the one that was in use from 1987-2009. Maybe that narrows down the signer's identity somewhat.
  10. Nine of twelve
    Maddox. Were you referring to Nick Maddox or Austin Maddox?
  11. Nine of twelve
    Incomplete report. What was/will be the corresponding roster move to make room for him? If that has not been announced please say that.
  12. Nine of twelve
    When Blyleven retired he was third in career strikeouts, behind only Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton. Third!!! That alone should have made him a first ballot inductee.

    Pete Rose gambled on his own team while he was managing. That may be even worse than gambling while playing. Whether that justifies exclusion from the HOF I don't know, but it was a major black mark on his record and he deserves consequences of some kind for it.

    No other report of any signings by any draft picks. I'm starting to wonder about Mr. Schwerzler's sources. But, since it's a weekend I'll wait until tomorrow and see if anything is announced.
  15. Nine of twelve
    Yeah, they have a limit on the number of pitchers on a roster but still allow anyone on the roster to pitch
  16. Nine of twelve
    The shift saved a run there.
  17. Nine of twelve
    I would guess Garlick.
  18. Nine of twelve
    Cripes. E-4 IYAM.
  19. Nine of twelve
    Arrarez' lead-off fly ball may have been hit harder, but still all three outs came on the two hardest-hit balls.

    Apparently Bremergasms are contagious.
  22. Nine of twelve
    No. We're comparing anticipated success of who is traded for and anticipated success of who is traded away. Edited to add: Or, years later, we're retrospectively comparing actual success of who is traded for and actual success of who is traded away.
  23. Nine of twelve
    There is just as much complete speculation in making a trade as there is in not making one.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Of course 100% accurate predictions are not possible. Everyone here knows that. Which is why you have to rely on the best way you have of figuring out what the future may hold: probability. Trading away a prospect reduces the probability of future team success, especially if the prospect traded away is one with a relatively good probability of future individual success. The more of such prospects traded, the lower the probability of future success. The exception to this is when you have the financial wherewithal to frequently buy free agents with a high probability of future success. (Which the Twins do not have.) So one must evaluate the increased probability of immediate success that comes with gaining a player and contrast it with the decreased probability of future success that comes with losing a player. In deadline trades the former is almost always considerably less than the latter. Hence, the very reasonable conclusion that most such trades are not favorable. Logical, not amazing.

    Should have been an easy stress-free win, but a win it is and I'm happy. Or maybe not happy but at least not sad and not angry.
