    One 'a these days, DtD, one 'a these days... http://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/c_limit,w_680/fl_lossy,pg_1,q_auto/azfwvudhswrvvt2qdcdu.jpg (Aside to ChiTown: didn't you always admire Alice's stoic courage in the face of threatened abuse?)

    Too bad - a better Rosario throw might have had him at third.

    Vargas's range is limited, so he will never be stellar. But he attempts baseball plays when called for - with varying degrees of success, but I like it. He's not just there to receive easy throws while waiting his next turn at bat.

    Changed my mind. It was a smart play by the Yankees right fielder. So apparently if it's OK for them to be judge-mental., it's OK for us
  5. ashbury
    Don't be judgmental. Helluva throw.
  6. ashbury
    I agree. IMO Vargas has under-rated defense - i.e. people say he's terrible but I think he's about league average. Soft hands and good reflexes. But.... Mauer is in a different class altogether.

    Granite seemed very unperturbed by that high inside fastball. Maybe a little too cool about it, as close as that one came. Nice that the ball had eyes for him when he put it in play.

    I am waiting for someone at SS who is as dependable as Buxton is in CF*. Adrianza had a difficult chance on that play, but not impossible. Luckily, he got an opportunity to atone immediately, with a tailor made DP ball. * Or Mauer at 1B, I should hasten to add.
  9. ashbury
    That was a very difficult foul catch by Mauer.
  10. ashbury
    Rosario does well to sneak back into second base there.
  11. ashbury
    Nice scamper, as Dick termed it, by Adrianza to snag a liner.

    I can tell you, in all seriousness, that the moderators are most assuredly not. A few TD members have already been given a word to the wise.

    Very heads-up baserunning by Rosario (and/or basecoaching by Smith) on that double. Although, Altuve was pretty slow getting up after that dive - I won't take anything away from him on that, since it might have shaken him up for a little moment, but had he popped to his feet faster he would have given Eddie a little more to think (legitmately or not) about when rounding first.

    The United States House Committee on Oversight will need to not have a look into this.
  16. ashbury
    The moderators will be the judge of that.

    It's been a little while since last report. With the first half of July now in the books, Ben has done OK at the plate, with a decent .273 BA, but little power (just 1 double) and no walks in 33 PA. For the season, he's batting .219 but his OPS still hasn't cracked the .600 level. I'm sure his coaches would like to see him step up the performance for a strong finish to the remainder of the season.

    Some bakers get creative. http://www.cafe-future.net/news/pics/13492-org.jpg

    I agree.

    It didn't end well.

    The New York Times has picked up your scoop, and backdated it with a year 2009 byline and inserted Carl's name instead. With prudent investment, Jim should have grown his inherited portion to approximately 14 trillion dollars in the intervening time, or not quite enough to pay off the US national debt. I'm going to stick my neck out and guess that the Cubs also did better in one half of that season than in the other. It's a long season.

    The team said "The Rays fully support Colby's decision to step away from baseball." This makes it sound like something needing support, and I find it hard to conjure up anything that doesn't involve something unpleasant, physical or psychic. Players don't step away easily.

    Felix got back to his successful ways at AA, logging 6 innings of 2-run ball (only 1 earned) in an eventual 5-3 win over Pensacola Wednesday night. He did not get the decision, as the bullpen gave up a tying run in the seventh and Chattanooga came right back to score 2 in the top of the... twelfth. Like I said, eventual. He gave up 5 hits and 3 walks in that span, and struck out 3. Two of the hits were doubles. Nick Gordon committed the error that allowed the second run to come in. As you might imagine from this litany of baserunners, none of Jorge's innings were one-two-three. The game lowered Jorge's season ERA to 3.14.

    I checked again and, perhaps more importantly, you can outright a player (as I believe was the case for Melo) only once without his permission. The second time, in the example I tried, he has the right to choose free agency. That would put a real limit on a team's aspirations to move a player on and off the 40. Never mind.
