    Yeah, Mrs Ash tells me she hates it when you ... wait, I forget, how do these replies work?

    We could use more Byron Buxtons on the roster but a thousand of them might be overkill.

    Find out whether the problem is genetic - check his Paw.

    Treat it as bar banter and decide. 😁

    I'll give that a thumbs up to acknowledge the kernel of truth. Also, that last year's trends, and the years before that, don't guarantee a continuation. Nor am I suggesting he lacks mental fortitude or anything insulting like that. But pitchers pitch differently under different circumstances. And Wallner's numbers suggest that he does less well when the pitcher's incentive is to use their best stuff (and/or the opposing manager hasn't yet put someone in with less impressive stuff). Certain fastballs, for instance, are said to give him more trouble than others (me, I'm not a good enough observer to have noticed the 4-seamers I recall being mentioned). If pitchers or managers ease off against him when the game isn't close, then I don't know whether to call that the batter's "fault," but I do hope that he can figure out how to make the stats line up better when the game still hangs in the balance.

    Highly specific low hanging fruit. Prepare to never hear the end of it.

    Wouldn't mind a meaningful HR by Wallner to key a 7-1 win, neither. IYKYK.

    Wallner in the eighth inning of a 7-1 loss.

    Oops, responded to wrong post.

    Without question, this game tonight is a Must Win situation. And the key will be getting off to a hot start in the first inning. Excuses will not be tolerated. No pressure, though.

    The winning move was to wish her a pleasant journey.

    Fedko's path to the majors probably is first base, with only Aaron Sabato standing in his way.

    I had a similar issue a few weeks ago because I wanted the next renewal to go to a different credit card. Could not figure out how to change it so I just clicked Cancel then waited until close to renewal and signed up again. The end result was fine, but it did mean needing to remember, and overall wasn't as smooth as one would hope. But ... ya know ... do I want TD spending scarce resources if that's what it takes to improve the interface? Um, nope.

    But the warm, sweet embrace of this front office.

    My question about outfielders is this: why is Garrett Spain on the AAA roster? They picked him up as a minor league free agent, he's not young, he didn't hit well at AA last year, and he can't fill in at infield positions where they are a little thin at the moment. Without him St Paul would still have five qualified outfield candidates*. Wichita meanwhile is short an outfielder, though their schedule doesn't start for another week so other moves could happen. This whole system seems to be a work in progress. * I am going by the official rosters listed at the respective milb.com websites, and this data isn't trustworthy, given that they have consistently listed Ryan Kreidler as an outfielder for example.

    Round is a shape.

    His minor league resume is almost like Juan Soto's. Uh oh ....
  20. ashbury
    This is great. Can you also give me a heads-up as to the day I should sell short on crude oil?
  21. ashbury
    Finally! Someone willing to speak up with unalloyed optimism!

    Pretty ding dang good stuff! I haven't taken any of those through-the-chain-link-fence photos in a while and maybe next year I can make is a priority to get back down there to Ft Myers.

    Despite all my snark these past couple of years, I would happily attend this event and enjoy the fun if I weren't 2000 miles away tomorrow (and every) afternoon.

    I used b-r.com's Stathead feature to refresh my memory, and the 1998 edition rolled out players like Marty Cordova, Todd Walker, Otis Nixon, David Ortiz, and Ron Coomer (still trying to man the hot corner!). The metrics don't appear to have been kind to them. Let's hope our guys this year don't given them a run for their money.

    61. I have no money wagered on it.
