    Owner is worth $3BB. We'll see how willing he is to continue wealth redistribution (winks).

    To blow it up, you have to move huge salaries. Machado, ~$300MM thru age 40, 10 more years Tatis, Jr, ~$300MM for 10 more years Bogarts, ~$275MM thru age 40 (10 yrs) Darvish, ~$60MM thru age 43 (6 yrs) One glance at Cabrera's at age 40 stats (.241/.661) reveals some problems with basic roster construction that needs to be "blown up" with 4 aging stars bloating the payroll in the next 5-10 years. The Ilitch family went thru this with the Tigers. Would hate to have to be the next GM/CBO in charge of remedying that roster given the amount of cash you would need to move along with traded player. The Mets, the Yanks, and the Padres all showed this year that $$ doesn't necessarily win a division as the Rays ($79MM team payroll) and the Orioles ($71MM) demonstrate.

    https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/san-francisco-giants-fire-manager-gabe-kapler ""After making this recommendation to ownership and receiving their approval, I met with Gabe today to inform him of our decision," Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi said in a statement. "He has been dedicated and passionate in his efforts to improve the on-field performance of the San Francisco Giants and I have tremendous respect for him as a colleague and friend." Field Managers. Hired to be fired.

    Oh, complicated. Made my head hurt last night when I reviewed tie breaker page on MLB.com. Goodness. All I know is that the conclusion of this season has been some of the most exciting ball I can remember in a long time. I check scores and standings x2 daily and when I get up in the wee hours.

    I remember running over to my friend's house (~1955) after elementary school. He was the only one of 3 of us who had a TV.

    Here comes Trevor...

    On this day, 1972, A's beat the Twins on Sal Bando's double, to cinch the Amer League West title. They went on to be WS champs.

    Scene: I have the game streaming into a new pair hearing aids I just picked up. She is waving madly at me to get my attention but while I know the game sound can be cancelled into the hearing aids, I don't know how to do that as of yet. I just wave back .

    For those without cable, free game on MLB.TV at 5.30p. RSox vs Orioles. Good time for me to familiarize myself w/Orange Birds.

    Is the implication that Baldelli has decided that Maeda goes to pen and Ryan is #3?
  11. Dave Borton
    Cleve is inactive today. Tigers are winning 8-0 top of 9th. Will knock Cleve out of 2nd place. While not of consequence, it will matter to the relatively young Detroit players.
  12. Dave Borton
    Yeah, I quit those as well 20 years ago. Easier to get up hills now. I no longer need to put in the clutch and downshift.
  13. Dave Borton
    I am beginning to think not attending the game was a good idea.
  14. Dave Borton
    Yeah, I used to get soooooo pooped I would have to stop and have a smoke break (winks).

    I heard this on radio and HAD to look it up. Thought it was nuts. "Reasons for this <elevation problems> are increasing stress hormones and lower overall oxygen delivery to the tissues.

    Farmer hitting .254 this year (his lifetime BA) and his OPS, .727, is 18 pts higher than career avg. Fielding at SS is .988, 3 pts higher than lifetime at short. Should Correa not play post season, Farmer's solid at short, though with less range and rifle arm than Correa.

    Oakland radio singing Gray's praise as well as TF, and trickiness of RF for visiting fielder.
  18. Dave Borton
    Cuba and DR, adequate population. $$ for admission would be problematic for 35,000 seats. Monterrey above is a good suggestion as is Mexico City. Monterrey's stadium holds 21-27K, opened in 1990.

    I get it. I went to a Lutheran seminary in Ohio and worked for the church for several years before low wages/growing kids' needs led me back to my healthcare work. I will get photos to you of the art via email in the next couple of weeks.

    Medina vs Gray tomorrow
  21. Dave Borton
    Ed-ouard. Goes deep.
  22. Dave Borton
    Whoops. Judd cranked a two run homer in top of 4th. Ouch,
  23. Dave Borton
    Berrios w/5 Ks first time thru the batting order. 3 innings, no hits. 36 pitches.
  24. Dave Borton
    "Buxton is a true wildcard...w/OF still in play." Just stop.
  25. Dave Borton
    I love the idea but stadiums, TV/ad revenue and limited disposable income for admission would be problematic.
