    Jay hasn't pitched in a game yet. Were you thinking of Burdi, also in Chattanooga?

    The good news is that experience has shown it's not difficult to obtain waivers if you want to remove him. (I know, he can refuse a second demotion to the minors and elect free agency instead.)

    DFA for someone like DanSan probably is for demotion to Rochester, not formal release. To address your question though, probably being taken in trade by another team is preferable. He continues to collect that sweet major league dough, plus service time toward a pension.

    You could do a feature on Mrs Ash, who was raised in Chicago. Raised the right way, I mean to say: her dad would call the kids in sick for school on Opening Day, and take her and her brother to Wrigley. One year her brother actually was sick enough to be in the hospital, and she and her dad still went to Opening Day. She also was president of the Cal Koonce Fan Club, unless I am mixing up which player is which. I knew there was a good reason I married into that fine upstanding family.

    I'm sensing a bit of a disconnect between these two points of view.

    Rortvedt is my Adopt-A-Prospect so I am always happy to see him written up. Do you agree with my adjective for him that he possesses the highly desirable quality of being "quiet" behind the plate? I imagine him being an umpire favorite. He's just so composed.
  7. ashbury
    What makes you think he can predict that date?

    I don't know if the above video pertains to the system TD is on. Here's how I do it: Obtain the "youtube.com" URL - it won't work with the short "youtu.be" variant - and it has to be the kind with "/watch?v=" in it. Surround that URL with "media" before, and "/media" after. In square brackets instead of the quotes. I can't show you here, or the system will interpret it as meta-code.Here's your link done that way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDjJc_ZH6dk If you still have trouble, try replying to my post by clicking "Quote", and you should see the way I did it. If not, above the editing box click the weird little gray icon next to the pink-and-white Eraser icon, which changes the editor from WYSIWYG to native code, and maybe that will clear it up. (Don't forget to click that icon again to go back to WYSIWYG, or you might forget and then be puzzled the next time you want to reply to someone.)

    Yer a poet, and blissfully unaware of that fact. Ya make a rhyme, repeatedly.
  10. ashbury
    Sorry. I thought you were talking about Kintzler.
  11. ashbury
    Mauer comes through? Glory be.
  12. ashbury
    I've heard of people who pay for that, if they want a whole season of Boston sports and not just the good games against the Twins.
  13. ashbury
    Maybe that's why Kintzler pitches the ninth.
  14. ashbury
    These details are harder for me to pick up on, listening via radio feed. Sucks living in the Boston metro for series like this.
  15. ashbury
    I'm surprised you didn't mention he has a twin brother. JosB.

    Gibson's exit velocity is approximately 500 MPH, as he rides the American flight to Rochester.

    A difference of opinion on the Internet. A site doesn't speak all with one voice? http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/210/119/9b3.png
  18. ashbury
    In real-time, as the play developed I thought there was no chance he gets to the ball. Then suddenly he was going even faster, and got to it in plenty of time. I think the video voiceover said that was around a 25% play based on time and distance - my eyeball had it even lower than that, so apparently he's slower than I thought.

    His BABIP has been above .400 during the recent stretch Brock mentioned. How much hotter do you expect he'll get? If anything, the BABIP has me tempering my expectations for a while yet. Baby steps for the rest of the first half, at least.
  20. ashbury
    The game log on bb-ref.com shows Dozier's HR added only 12% to the win probability, while Sano's 2-run jack added 18%. Imagine how large the WPA would have been on a 3-run homer, if Dozier would have just gotten on base. Doesn't speak well to his spirit of team play.
  21. ashbury
    Thanks for the jinx.
  22. ashbury
    Say, does anyone know whether the Yankees are playing today? Has Aaron Hicks come up to bat yet?
  23. ashbury
    Next time clip a Bic pen to his lapel, so he'll think you're using up to date sound equipment.
  24. ashbury
    You walk the Elephant, and pitch to the Giraffe. Geez, that's an old one.
  25. ashbury
    Mauer, lol. The A's have no pitching.
