    I think that's a mathematical theorem, or an axiom at worst.
  2. ashbury
    Which is nice!

    We can take credit for the joint anti-jinx, though.

    Good time for a slump-buster, Carlos.

    Mediocre minds think alike sometimes, too.

    Mauer's a HOF player and his approach was solid for a lot of lineups but maybe not for others. He might be the tonic for certain batters who get themselves out, but I wouldn't want to see a young hitter lose his aggressiveness by going too far with it.

    I'll stick my neck out and say Buxton has the green light for whatever he wishes to do on the bases, always.

    I hope not.

    Me: (multi-processing at the keyboard) Game audio: (crack of the bat) Dick Bremer: (silence... silence...) "Gobbled up by Miranda, on target to Gallo." Me: "C'mon man."

    An imaginary point of view that when combined with the others becomes surprisingly complex.

    If you are referring to Bailey Ober among these two, he wasn't even a rookie last season. 20 games started in 2021 was his rookie season.

    Sonny Gray has given up 3 runs this year. Bailey Ober has given up 2.

    The Twins DFA'ed him to make room for another player, which gave them (I forget exactly) 7 or 10 days to do something with him, but apparently they didn't place him on waivers (which last 3 days and can take place anytime during the DFA period) so as to be able to outright him to the minors themselves. I infer that they had good reason to believe that more than one team was ready to scoop him up, if they had put him on those waivers, so they managed a tiny bidding war for Megill and took the best tiny offer they got. Good for them, versus just losing him. Megill is currently listed on the Brewers' 40-man but in the minors, so at least the outline of what I've said here is probably right. If Megill had actually cleared waivers, the Brewers would have had no reason to add him to the 40, and could just have placed him in AAA, "outright" as they say.

    Sounds correct to me, unless he messed up some detail that I would mess up too. There is indeed a provision that short total stays do not count. Of course it's to be hoped that once he comes up, he'll never need to be optioned again, making it all moot.

    If he's ready anytime this season it will be testament to hard work and dedication, because he was limping noticeably in spring training.

    There was a lot of chaos in the nineteenth century, but once things stabilized with the advent of the American League in 1901 I think you are correct. The Braves moved from Boston to Milwaukee to Atlanta, so this will break the tie.

    Against a team like the Royals, yes. Other teams, depends on my mood. Mostly I'm just trying to bar as many injuries as possible. Not sure it's working.
  22. ashbury
    Twins sweep, barring injury.
  23. ashbury
    Not even any walks! Wonder if he's gone to a 3-ball count on anybody yet.

    Okay, so that's two. "Rarely used" and I forgot about the second, so thank you. Still doesn't mean the scorer can willy nilly award the W to the pitcher of his choice, most of the time. If an official scorer tries to do that even once, they'll stand to be fired. When the starter goes a strong 6 or 7, the bullpen coughs up the lead, but the team comes back to win, the starter still gets bupkis, even though we'd all prefer to award him the Win. A pitcher who is among the league leaders in Wins can hardly be a "bad" pitcher but I still prefer ERA or other measures to assess who is really good.

    How to standardize how hard the pitcher grips, though?
