    Principal shooting is complete, it's in post-production. Working title "Kill Khan vol.1". It's pulp science fiction! Here's the trailer: Memorable lines abound: "'What' ain't no planet I ever heard of. Do they speak Klingon on What? Klingon, my friend, DO YOU SPEAK IT?""Each and every man under my command owes me one-hundred Romulan ears. And I want my ears.""Aw, man, I just phasered Lt. Marvin in the face.""So, pretty please … with sugar on top. Clean the Vulcan starship.""Is there a sign in front of my house that says 'Dead Redshirt Storage'?""I'ma get 20th Century on you.""And I will strike down upon thee, with great vengeance, and furious anger, my photon torpedo.""Oooh, that's a Fizzbin! Is that the way you say it? 'That's a Fizzbin?'" "No. You just say Fizzbin." "How fun!" / Jokes shamelessly lifted and modified from the comments section of the above video

    Exactly. There is an opportunity cost with every reclamation project. Bad teams have little opportunity, therefore little cost. I would not like to see our team using up 25-man spots this year on gambles like Gausman.

    Wow. Eight foot five. That IS tall. Downward plane FTW.

    I'm sure you understood I was just throwing some absurdist humor at you. I love positional flexibility. I want my best players to get the most innings*. I don't think there is a contradiction between these two views. *and with injuries being a fact of life, and one pitcher not being the same as another, "best" is a fluid term from game to game

    Yeah, McCann can get a little salty. I notice that he didn't stick around behind the plate to shake Sano's hand when Miggy came back around. "If my center fielder is giving up, I may as well too."

    130 AB and 45 days of service time (outside of September callups) are the standard, I think, so yes. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Luis Arraez: Major League Baseball Player.

    If you rank the truly top MLB pitchers last year, you'll probably find what I did this morning when I used WAR as the ranking, that among the top ten, Trevor Bauer is the shortest at 6'1", Aaron Nola is listed at 6'2", and the other eight are taller. I do not believe Law has ever stated "cannot make it in the majors" regarding pitchers under 6'2". That would indeed be a position easy to debunk. But if you are trying to identify the best prospects, you might want to weed out the guys who don't profile the same way as the top guys who actually are established - there will always be exceptions like Pedro but you want the volume to be on your side. You can get good innings from a lot of sources, but if great gobs of good innings are coming from the taller guys, it doesn't mean every tall guy is destined for greatness, but conversely height "really is not all that important in baseball" might be going too far.

    As long as Byron is the 1st outfielder, Max is 2nd, and Eddie is 3rd, I'm not hung up on labeling the other outfielders.

    Just a guess, but I'll go with "not an issue" with his buddies. It came across to me as "that's game, let's get 'em tomorrow." More professional than some kind of histrionics, or fake hustle going to the wall to watch the ball clear it by 50 feet or whatever.

    He tore up Triple A LITERALLY? I... would have thought I'd have seen something about it in the papers.

    "The outlook wasn't brillig for the slithy toves that day ..."

    i don't think I like Cave any better than you do, so why did you have to bring him to mind again? Mood ruined.

    A hearty thanks to Mr Acuña for a very classy reaction to that home run. Little things like that make a memorable game stick in your mind.

    I'll take some credit for an anti-jinx, sure.

    Kudos to Mr Arraez for keeping the inning alive.
  18. ashbury
    Wow. Just wow. Excellent game, even with the rocky moments.

    SANO !!!!

    Having trouble getting the ball out of the infield, all of the sudden.
  21. ashbury
    I said I had to read it five times. I'm not some dummy that had to read it six.
  22. ashbury
    We've been getting plenty of doses of humidity in the Boston area, so you are welcome to ours.
  23. ashbury
    I had to read that about five times, so I guess I'm the one stumped.

    Concur. "Stay in your lane, bro, stay in your lane. No, seriously, stop moving around so much."

    So "Dozen" no longer is the stumper it once was for you?
