    Kepler with the bases loaded against the righty. Now we've got them right where they want us.

    Oh Cole, Cole, have you been threatening witnesses again?
  4. ashbury
    It got pretty scathing reviews right and left, if I recall.
  5. ashbury
    Joey with another RBI when his team is behind and needs it. Maybe it really was SSS until now.
  6. ashbury
    Like they say about it being Happy Hour somewhere, it's a 4-2 lead for somebody anyway. Grrr.
  7. ashbury
    Wait, I blink, and it's full count again?
  8. ashbury
    What kind of prospect haul is some team going to offer at the deadline?
  9. ashbury
    More comfortable now, 4-2?

    He walks a lot in any situation, but yes.

    Julien stands to set some kind of record one of these days by getting charged with an Error by the official scorer when there's nobody on base and a putout is made.

    Just need to know where to look. b-r.com has stuff like that. Career splits for Joey: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=gallojo01&year=Career&t=b#all_bases Man on third, less than two outs, there are 154 plate appearances. 6 HR but only the 3 sac flies as Chief stated.

    Arguably the best $7,500 the Cincinnati Reds ever spent. I mean, you try and acquire 2.5 WAR for that bargain price.
  14. ashbury
    Did that already, 10 years ago, and never looked back.

    Yabbut, see my followup missive two up from yours. Which is the joke and which is the serious take? Dun-dun-DUNNNNN!

    Wallner is on the roster because he's the perfect complement to Buxton. The latter right now is a glove-only player who doesn't take the field, and our young guy is a bat-first player who doesn't come to the plate. Genius platooning!

    God grant me the serenity to accept the opinions I cannot change, the courage to change the ones that I can, and the wisdom to cancel that first request and blast every incorrect view to absolute hell! -- Reinhold Notreallybuhr

    I'd like to see Wallner in there tonight too, but the approach of the trade deadline makes roster tactics take precedence, unless we have a sure Cal Ripken being blocked by Pedro Florimon or whoever. I'll wait two weeks to see what if any return is gotten. If both Kepler and Gallo are still on the roster on August 2 and with poor performance blocking Wallner and Larnach both, then my pitchfork is ready and I know how to light a torch.

    There's a reason he hasn't put up big innings pitched numbers: he's been placed on injury status (scroll to the bottom at the linked page) so many times 2021-23 that the Guardians renamed it the Aaron Civale List, in his honor. Send them Mahle for him. They might accept him, TJ surgery and expiring contract and all, as the better injury risk.

    He's got outfielders who stand on that side of the plate, I'll grant him that. Unless, that is, he pronounced the word "o-fers." Those, he's got.

    I think you know what I meant by "crippled". Crippled by overt action in July. Perhaps "consciously depleted from current levels" would be more accurate? Yes, the OF is not what the FO thought they were drawing up in the winter. In any case, I don't see this as a WS winning team either, and fixing that on the fly is too expensive. I just want to field a roster in the post-season (if we have one) that is representative of what got them there. It's kind of like when minor leagues have a playoff between the first-half champion and the second-half champ, except the first-half team no longer even faintly resembles what got them there. I'd like that our presence in the post-season not be described as bush league.

    League-wide in 2023 the usual platoon splits are in evidence: Our Twins exhibit the same trend, except our lefties are even more extreme and just aren't hitting, period: "Now tell me one I haven't heard," you say? https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/split.cgi?t=b&lg=MLB&year=2023 https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/split.cgi?t=b&team=MIN&year=2023 (Ignore the yellow markings - I screwed up taking the screenshot and am too lazy to redo it.)

    Gah, I double posted somehow. Mods, feel free to delete.
