    Do you know nothing about jinxes??? Keep that hand raised until conditions change for the worse.

    Nice inning by Ryan in response to his team staking him to a big lead.
  3. ashbury
    Never too soon to quit. 😁

    LARNACH!!!!

    Crooked number! Keep it up!

    Holy crow. That bases-loaded RBI for Jeffers was easy!

    Switch him to third base; that bat's too good for shortstop.

    Halve a nice day, Brooks!

    I believe ACL repair has been necessary on both. Starting to wonder if he'll be out of baseball before age 30.

    Don't tell them that. Tell them we're NOT trying reverse psychology. Then after we win - "Psych!"
  11. ashbury
    Difficult to argue against.

    Martin showed good form in right field watching that blast from Varsho go out.

    55th percentile among all major leaguers isn't a glowing recommendation for RF. Below "satisfactory" is the term "adequate" that you sometimes see in scouting contexts - not intended as a compliment - and I'm thinking that's where he sits as a right fielder specifically. On a par with Larnach perhaps. I'm spotting 4 lefty hitters plus one switch hitter in the Jays' lineup, so possibly the speedier Martin in RF will be able to track down more tough fly balls than Larnach can. If the Twins eventually bring in a couple of lefty relievers and turn the Jays' lineup around, and swap Larnach and Martin, that would be really telling - but I doubt a manager would go to such an extreme for a variety of reasons.

    Does he belong there? I don't think of him as having the arm for it. Larnach has been known to patrol RF in Wallner's absence, but he's in LF today. I suppose the arm isn't as bad as Ben Revere's back in the day. Revere brought out some strategic thoughts I hadn't considered before - if you have TWO mediocre arms in the corners, maybe put the worse one in right because neither will make any plays at 3B from there anyway, and try to preserve the threat when the ball goes to left.

    ... who currently can not hit.
  16. ashbury
    Gosh darn it all to heck, even.

    Just checking in .... This bullpen.

    Corbin can be the poster boy for Flags Fly Forever. He won Game 7 of the 2019 World Series. That was the first year of his massive 6-year contract with the Nationals. He's been bad ever since. Do they regret his contract? Well, flags fly forever and Washington had a pretty big Big Three in their rotation that year. And yet, somehow, despite his rapid decline he's started 30+ games every year, except only 11 in Covid-shortened 2020. He's also a poster boy for Innings Eater.

    I dunno. Abel didn't come out too well in their previous collaboration.
  21. ashbury
    Masquerading as Joe?
  22. ashbury
    We need to call up Alex Jackson and have Acton pitch to him.
  23. ashbury
    Yes because umpires around the league so visibly favor the Minnesota Twins.
  24. ashbury
    Yakkity Sax for Brooks Lee next time it's a bunting situation.
  25. ashbury
    We need a batter to choose a nice rousing march as his walkup song. Three Cheers For The Red White And Blue!
