  1. I was otherwise occupied today, and missed the best ending of the season. So far.
  2. People online try to convince us that Falvey felt he was the smartest man in the room. I had only one personal interaction with him, and he was very generous with his time in that instance. He wasted no effort trying to convince me he was smart, and indeed referred me to one of his staff for an answer to part of my question. I could see wanting to work for him.
  3. Jackson: The deadline's almost here. Play me or trade me. Shelton: Here's a first baseman's mitt. You played there just the other day. Jackson: It seemed pretty easy that time. Ron Washington walks in: It's incredibly hard, Alex.
  4. I knew there had to be a good reason, which is why I asked. I always learn something useful at this site.
  5. Jackson's my choice to go, if the FO is intent on making a "pennant push" with this sorry roster. I don't trust his batting stats whatsoever. No, he won't bring back anything meaningful - cash or maybe pool money. But it brings us back to Plan A at catcher at the beginning of the season, and why not - it worked well before the injury, and catcher is the one place we haven't had worries. Caratini won't bring back much either. As others have pointed out, he's fully priced at his contract, and next year is more expensive than 2026 given the way it's structured. 26:$4M, 27:$6.5M, 28:$12M mutual option ($3.5M buyout) - he's either $10M for one more year or $18.5M for two (assuming he's not dumb enough to opt out of the $12M third season). Jeffers would go, if the FO waved the white flag on 2026, of course.
  6. I'll start worrying about the 13th man on the active roster after the trade deadline. I don't expect many transactions, but a few. Things should clarify soon. Gray won't IMO be part of the picture.
  7. Other than being injured and eventually getting surgery on a finger I believe, what did he do to arouse your ire?
  8. That's been the paradox of hoping Larnach builds up trade value. If he's valuable to contending teams, and if we've decided we're going for it, then he's valuable to us.
  9. How many days is 6 feet? I'm good with Metric to Imperial, but distance to time always throws me.
  10. I'm sure he still wants to remain a starter. But a steady MLB paycheck has some appeal to it too, versus starting at AAA.
  11. Holding the other team to 2 in 6 keeps your team in the game and at least gives you a chance.
  12. This ninth inning turned out to be a lot of ...
  13. Fantastic anti-jinx, which is I'm sure how you meant it.
