    I wouldn't do that. Bare-knuckle fighting would probably injure anyone. The pitch to the ribs was bad enough.

    Where is your evidence that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or you were not in disguise and pitching for Lansing yesterday? (I have witnesses who can vouch that I was not there, so at least there's that.) In a big night at bat for the Kernels, it seems like the guys who were already scuffling did the least to take part in the fun. Jose Salas, Misael Urbina, and Keoni Cavaco all did little to improve their status as serious prospects who may not make it. They didn't go 0-for, nobody did, but still it was a missed opportunity. Kudos to the others, though.

    Fun answer to a question. Q: Did anything change, hitting-wise, when you came over here from the Twins organization? A: ..... I think the Twins were a lot more about analytics; they had a lot more of a data-driven approach to hitting. Here, I feel like it’s a lot more about feel. It’s kind of ‘Let’s break down your approach. What pitches are you swinging at?’ versus looking at the numbers. It’s not like we’re not looking at numbers — I think we do a good job of that — it’s just that there’s more of, say, what you feel in the cage. I think we have a good balance of analytics and what I guess you could call an older-school type of hitting. That really works for me.

    As stated above, if the Twins release him, they are on the hook for the remaining money, regardless of if another team signs him or he takes up high school coaching or insurance selling or beach combing. But there is a step that comes first. To release Kepler they must first designate him for assignment and they can put him on waivers. If a team claims him from waivers, that team gets the remaining contract too. The Twins could hope two teams want him, in which case those teams might vie to claim him. (But if there were actual demand like that, then probably a trade could have been worked out with the highest bidder getting him. And if only one team wants him, they would just wait for his release. Of course teams don't operate with perfect information about each other.)

    You idiot! You can't trade draft picks!

    Yeah, this isn't like football. High baseball draft picks aren't worth anything. You never see a baseball team trade up, amiright?

    Suits me, at this point.

    I think he knew.

    Brock Stewart comes in to put out the fire against the reigning champions by striking out the side. As expected.

    Lopez punching the gatorade cooler in the dugout is a nice touch. How about next time, show some moxie on the mound, then keep quiet on the bench.

    We all know a jinx when we see it, and I'll have to wear it.

    "Was it over when Houston bombed Jorge Lopez?"
  18. ashbury
    Welp. What flavor do you like when I buy?
  19. ashbury
    Pagan IS the jinx.
  20. ashbury
    Concur, but hush. We haven't gotten through the Emilio Pagan Experience, yet.

    We have found common ground my friend. 😀

    He can get better. I don't sell him short, at all.

    He's a French cheeseburger. The Royale!
