I had my palm read once.
The Palmist told me that I was the type of person who wasn't afraid of costs or consequences. That I was the type of person to pay 50 Bucks to see a show or attend a ball game or find out things.
I'm not so sure she was right but It was worth the 50 bucks I spent.
It was a slow day at work and there was a discussion about world records. I decided that I wanted to break one so we all started researching records to see if there is one that I could break.
We came up with... Most sticky notes attached on a face in one minute... The record is 58.
Or Most Saltine Crackers eaten in one minute... The Record is 10.
I couldn't decide which one to go for so I've decided to try and break both of them.
If I'm successful! I will also set a record of being the first person with two world records.
Which will give me three world records and this will set in motion a chain of world records to infinity.
I'm pretty excited.
I was just thinking about Father's Day. If my kids get me socks. Not only do I get the gift of socks but I also get the gift of not having to go to the store and buy socks.
I can see the logic either way.
I really want someone to rise up and just snatch the job out of his hands. I don't believe Larnach has done that.
Solano may have though. Julien just might.
We won't know until we know. Let's increase that sample.
I see he is in the lineup tonight against a left hander.
Dear Alex,
After all the work I have put in on your behalf.
You better drill this left hander and drill him hard.
Sincerely,
Riverbrian
I don't have a problem with Larnach being sent down. He has been coming around a little lately but he hasn't grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
Wallner bugged me... but I get it... Kepler needed a spot. I was more upset about Wallner when Garlick got the call instead and that still bugs me because he could have taken Kepler's job by now... management got in his way and didn't allow it.
Julien... I may have a problem with Julien going down while Kepler remains but how I feel about that will manifest if Julien keeps hitting like he has been. I'm hoping that Julien forces the decision through his play.
Ultimately though... putting the prospects aside. I don't expect Kepler to survive past the trade deadline regardless and I will be disappointed if he does.
I get the clubhouse disruption part but those guys can read stats just like the rest of us. If they bring in an OF with an actual working bat... the loss of a teammate disappointment could be replaced by the gain of a hitter feeling.
If they don't upgrade offensively at the deadline. Then call up Celestino for all I care. Kepler is an expired contract who is hurting us right now. Might as well give those AB's to someone who will be back next year because what Max is producing can be replicated by almost anyone.
I don't believe anyone will take Max in a trade unless it's with a team trying to get rid of an albatross but who knows... there might be a team like the Phillies that could use a defensive upgrade while hoping they find a Hicks or Sanchez like change of scenery bounce.
I'm giving Max and the club until the deadline. Tick Tick Tick. 😎
