    Blake Snell no hitter. Giants win, the Giants win.

    You were saying? I'll take lucky Vazquez too. Or maybe its Lucky Vazquez?

    Same difference, nice baserunning.

    Fair. Harsh, but fair. It seems two different skills. Selling seems easy, just pick the best offer and trust your scouting. Buying in your industry's equivalent of a wall street scrum is another ballgame. Their caution is rewarded with scorn and a couple GMs who are geared towards that environment always do something. Deadline deals are almost losers by definition and they have reason to be gun shy.

    To twist it that way, seems weird to me. I don't think anyone is saying that?

    Still fog of war, will be interesting if the Pale Hose have a different story. To assume it was planted, is a stretch. The White Sox look terrible right now, if this isn't true I would expect some push back.
  7. Jocko87
    Now you're not buying stories? Convenient, it seems. White Sox did something dumb? Plausible at a minimum.

    At the game right now, he does look like a ballplayer. Unfortunately, as Nick indicates, it's an unwinnable situation in these parts. I wouldn't be totally against trading Keaschall for a year and a half of a starter, the complementary pieces would have to be seen to see how well they did on that trade. If, say, Fedde doesn't pitch brilliantly down the stretch and make a big difference in the playoffs (low likelihood, honestly), and you traded Keaschall for him, you're looking at a level of potential lingering follow-up pain that would make Spencer Steer blush. Can't win with a certain group who are determined to be on the opposite side no matter what. Getting the other side now.

    The precedent is that they are required to release them. Everyone else is just guessing, and even financial statements are read differently by different people. I guess that would get everyone the ownership change everyone seems to want. Careful what you wish for, it would then have to be run as a business. On the other hand, they could raise money from selling stock, which I would buy. The org is in great hands, overall. It's a long term deal, as mentioned many times, and they don't need the Twins Daily fan. They already have us. What they are doing, is not for us.

    The bar was low. It was not cleared. JFC with this drivel.

    Well frankly, the reporting was absolute hot garbage. That's a start. I made a quick list of pitchers moved that would have been financially less than what they actually did. Puk, Banks, Erceg and a dozen others would have been less money. More prospect cost, but less dollars. Not choosing to move on any of the dozens of cheaper (maybe better) players available would at minimum dispel the notion this is all about money. Was money limiting in some ways? Sure but I'm not convinced it was any more than usual. If the Pale Hose wanted one of the top 3 for Fedde, they can fedde the fedde off. All that said, count me among the disappointed that they didn't spend something from the prospect account to get a lefty. But I trust our guys not to spend stupidly as well.

    You better ™️ that Oct-Ober thing while you still have a chance.

    Thought that was yesterday?

    The Mets catcher is starting to annoy the crap out me. His framing is atrocious. Overly dramatic framing cost you strikes. You just told everyone you thought it was a ball.
  15. Jocko87
    Yup, and they always catch you slightly off guard. Like that play, wtf just happened? Oh, ok. I'm pretty sure that's what I saw. Lord help you if you happened to blink at the wrong time. I always tell people that the hardest part of youth ball is trying to anticipate what a 13 yo boy is going to do. Interference is hard for the same reason.

    All of New York is screaming for Dobnak.

    Clown. Out.

    Was thinking about how I would not call that in a game and I think that explains it. I was rereading the rule before I posted and while it was called rulebook correct it felt 100% like a no call. Truly, he may just have been throwing it vack to the pitcher and thats what I'll be telling a coach in that case. In 14u you have to squash that crap early sometimes. It depends. Batters box isn't protection as the rule is stepping out etc etc AND any other movement that hinders a catchers play. Pure judgement call. I try to give the batter benefit of the doubt as sometimes they don't even know a snap throw went behind them to third. If they step in the way without knowing, it's still interference. If they don't really move and don't seem to react to the catcher I won't call it. If a catcher just threw it in his ribs on purpose without an interference move I'm not sure what I would call. I'll have to think about it. I can't reward that catcher but I'll catch hell from a coach either way.
  19. Jocko87
    You don't have to intend to interfere. Regardless of intent, you interfered. It was clear interference had a runner been stealing but it looks odd with a guy just standing there. No idea why he tried to make that throw. Agreed that a catcher could do that far more often but that's where the unwritten rules come in. The rule would need rewritten in the new era.

    Evergreen post.

    The Jay Harry retrospective in a couple years is going to be lit!
  22. Jocko87
    Yeah, it makes more sense now. There is also a rumor that the Twins were talking Cortes if they were able to get Flaherty.
  23. Jocko87
    Just running down the list of left handed pitchers in the organization and we've almost named all the names already in this thread. Maybe a Jaylen Nowlin can cut it loose. He's a Swiss army knife and almost every time I see his name he's doing something good.
  24. Jocko87
    Not hardly, I've been plenty harsh where it's deserved. Feel free to take this level of discourse to the Reddits where it belongs. If you'd like to discuss on topic, you know where to find me.
