    Wow! Got any lottery numbers you care to divulge, Nostradamus?

    Much was made of Max Clark reaching the majors before Jenkins, and he had a hot few games at first, but after 0-for-3 tonight I see his OPS is .630. Jenkins now sits at .940. It's all small sample size but... yeah.

    "What's all this I hear about Ryan Jeffers being an ump? I know he hasn't been getting many hits lately, but to switch places and be the umpire while a complete novice takes over catching the pitches, why, that just can't work out well! Maybe he should sit out a few games, or just DH, but to be the ump? This is an outrage!." "Psst. They were saying he's in a slump. Not ump. Slump. And tonight it looks like he busted out of it maybe." "Oh! Well, that's very different then. Never mind."

    I do not think that word... heywaitaminnit!

    I've got my eyes on you, sir.

    The flip side is that a mistake in the infield doesn't go for multiple bases quite as often. I despair of figuring out where to hide him. He and the coaches simply have to figure out how to upgrade him to "serviceable" somewhere on the field - he's too young to DH except as the last resort.

    Larnach has his faults but is less likely to turn a single into a triple.

    Chief knows Obligatory means "Princess Bride reference," at minimum, and that's all anyone needs here.

    I like it! Shorter throw trying to nip the batter at third base ...

    Our guy Brad Lee is pitching a good game.
  12. ashbury
    How does a bases-clearing single float your boat?
  13. ashbury
    Walker Lewis, Walker Jenkins, now Walker Keaschall this inning.

    Last time I got fired, I didn't even do anything. At least, that was on the form HR sent me.

    The one remaining US company that makes yardsticks decided to close up shop rather than obey a government directive to go metric; they just don't want to make them any longer.

    Time for some Walker Jenkins magic at the plate this inning?
  17. ashbury
    Concur. I like the Stubbs sauce, although I'm sure it contains plenty of sugar (and it's owned by McCormick which is just another conglomerate). So when I saw their powder/rub on a shelf, I bought it. Turned out, it was a bit hotter and more one-dimensional than I like. So it sat on my shelf for a year. Then one of the more major brands appeared in our refrigerator, it dawned on me to dump a goodly quantity of the Stubbs power into it, trying to salvage both - and it is dang tasty.

    Oof. When one of those somehow shows up in my fridge, I perk it up with some Stubbs bbq rub. Not a perfect solution but something has to be done.
  19. ashbury
    All right, which lowdown poster divulged the news about Taj Bradley carrying a no-hitter into the third inning?
  20. ashbury
  21. ashbury
    Good. Maybe he'll lose a game or two for them with dunderheaded attempts at heroics.
  22. ashbury
    We've been debating whether it's EmmaRod or MannyRod, and it turns out to be NoRod.
  23. ashbury
    I think of elbow surgery.
  24. ashbury
    That's why it was a quibble.
  25. ashbury
    Just a quibble but these aren't as close to equivalent as might seem. $23M QO would be for one year. A pitcher of the caliber to get $30M gets 5 or 6 years IMO. Maybe the Twins feel as lucky as the Phillies turned out to be with Zack Wheeler 2020-24. Maybe they look at other, more cautionary signings. But the calculation for the FO won't be similar.
