Still waters might run deep on that'un on the right. 😀 -
And thrown out stealing, when you did.
-
I forget exactly but it's a few hundred a game.
-
There's your run, Mr. W-R. Make it stand up.

Yes. No one gets rich doing it, but it's not like the old days where a beat reporter would pick up a few bucks for the effort.

*shrug* Like any corporate employee, they do what the company wants.

Official scorers are loath to let the first hit off a good pitcher be questionable like Kepler's was. Had Correa's hit preceded Kepler's attempt, I think Max would have been awarded a double.

There goes the perfect game. (Baby steps, baby steps.)

Ima stick my neck out and say sub-3 hours. "Ima". Speaking of things young teens stopped saying as soon as I found out.

A sudden moment of clarity!

The other guy Castillo might be a vector for the virus.

Shoving. That seems to be the word this season.

I neglected to include the visual that would go with that reply. Frank Nelson, forgotten master of comedy timing.

Why in hell did you go back? 😀
-
Santana is a slow, slow human being.
-
Oh REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY?
-
I hacked into Target Field's video system for tonight's game.
-
The Nightmare on Pike Place franchise has been successful through many sequels, too. Bad luck you didn't get a cut.
-
Three strikeouts in the first inning. The third strike coming three different ways. SWR is intriguing to say the least. Wonder why the Blue Jays gave up on him so easily?
-
Rocco stubbornly refuses to play MY hunches. That's the problem.
-
Byron would have had that. Austin would have had that. Willi would have had that. Just getting these out of the way so I won't have to bother typing them out during the game. "See above" will suffice. Saves a few electrons.

Do you believe that is an achievable outcome? If you (leading a FO) are "done" with Wallner, find the best trade offer you can get. Because if you take him off the 40, that means passing him through waivers, and some bottom feeder team will gladly take him off your hands, leaving you no return at all. Even "cash considerations" will be better than nothing. It's what the Twins did in discarding Matt Bowman, as they apparently found a couple of teams interested in claiming him and gave the Diamondbacks a chance to jump the league's priority line to get him. Wallner has more trade value than Bowman, surely. But doing that is not "briefly." It means washing your hands of Wallner entirely and forever. I'm fine with anyone stating nearly any opinion about what should be done with Wallner. Simply cut him, if that's your view and you want to defend it. (I happen to value him more than that.) But "removing him briefly" from the 40 man is about the same as Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously, don't you think?

I've expressed myself often enough about Martin's defense. I had assumed that Margot was obtained as a backup CF. That is simply not what Margot's role has turned out to be, and both Martin and Castro are merely acceptable in short stints there but are not legitimate Plan B's. Elevating Keirsey at this point would be to fill a gaping hole on defense. The gamble would be his bat, which at the moment seems promising at AAA but could implode. The other choices mentioned could fill the roster spot itself if the FO moved on from Margot, but I'm really talking about the role. CF, like SS, needs a dedicated specialist as the backup. We had that last season in MAT, who was not exactly good as a starter but was way better than the choices we have now for extended duty.
