    Not so. The sign said "$10" but Mrs Ash tried to be a good negotiator and said she wanted at least $500 to take me off their hands. Turned out she still got burned of course.

    http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/lloyd-mcclendon-ejected-for-1st-time-this-season/ "In the fourth inning, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon visited the mound to talk with his young starter, Roenis Elias. But from the very beginning of McClendon’s stroll from the dugout to the mound it was clear McClendon had another purpose in mind: He wanted to let home-plate umpire Sean Barber know he blew a strike-three call in the third inning that led to a run. 'Something to that effect,'McClendon said in shorts after the game." My recollection is that he jawed with the ump for a bit, then headed for the dugout, but evidently thought of "just one more thing" when he was about 20 feet away and turned to say it, and immediately got the thumb. You aren't technically allowed to argue balls and strikes anymore, if I'm not mistaken, and the ump let him argue it anyway and then finally had had enough. Incidentally, after the ejection was called, McClendon felt empowered to come back and really let the ump know what he thought about things for half a minute or so. I thought the ump handled himself well throughout, and McClendon didn't really cross any major lines either though he clearly instigated for whatever purpose. I interpret this as much as rookie hazing of the ump as anything. Another unwritten rule or some damn thing.

    At some point, will the Florida State League go to a 50 man active roster, and thereby cut out all the shenanigans, needed as they seem to be?
  4. ashbury
    I think you caught the writers' clever subtext, yes.
  5. ashbury
    Oh, of course. This will arise every time someone's starter goes down. Alternate version of Doc's scenario: "...And yes, reports are that Nolasc- hello?? hello??"

    At this writing, the 2015 Minnesota Twins have a staff ERA of 4.53 and a staff FIP of 4.46. Do we now have emerging proof that this year's defense is approximately major league average and should not be held as an excuse for underperformance like last year? / double check the thread title before going off on any deep ends...

    Ditto H/9.

    I just like knowing a new German word. Dudelsack, LOL. I let Google Translate confirm it just to be safe.

    You judge the masterfulness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPUU33yJ77I

    It will be ever clear to me, at least.
  11. ashbury
    Yes, because 200 is the new 100.
  12. ashbury
    Good save on a near jinx.
  13. ashbury
    ...THXBYE, Seattle.

    I think someone else has that as their signature. I'll make the occasional joking comment, but if he can bounce back then he's an asset regardless of salary, and if he can't then ideas of his leaving are just fantasy anyway. And I have no issues with his (or most players') clutchness whatsoever.
  15. ashbury
    Perk two days in a row. Now he earns the salary.

    Showing Circus Boy how it's done. Speaking of whom: Twins 4, Mariners 2, going into the bottom of the 11th. This has been your Circus Boy Update.

    Why would a team NOT walk Mauer? He's clutch!
  18. ashbury
    An inside joke, more or less, whose shelf life runs out right about... now.
  19. ashbury
    Santana should give Schafer some Bunt Mentorin'.
  20. ashbury
    Says the man who played LF and whose OPS+ was 76 and 80 for the two pennant winners he played on, and earned good money for the era while doing so.
  21. ashbury
    Spoiler alert: try to knock them all down, every time, the same way each time, because they don't move on their own.
  22. ashbury
    "Climb on my back, boys, I'm carrying you today," said Shane Robinson never. / two runs today notwithstanding
  23. ashbury
    Another non-clutch walk by Mauer.

    You probably like her distant cousin, then. http://larrybrownsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Tim-Lincecum-John-Smoltz-260x225.jpg

    It's almost like he KNEW the batter was left handed and this was opportunity knocking.
