    Did you read the OP? Edit: i think my sarc-o-meter needs calibration

    Even when Chief is serious it’s comedic gold. I bet all the poster’s who’ve had their posts moderated were Laughing Out Loud.

    Fingers

    Can we all agree in our disdain for SkorNorth?

    I don’t think Molitor or Mientkewics were fired for their record or their acumen, or coaching capability. i don’t know why they were fired, but my guess is it had more to do with their ability to collaborate with Falvey and Levine. Modern MBA theory promotes matrix decision making over hierarchical. Mientkewics specifically was characterized in the media as “it’s my clubhouse, not your business” and Molitor kinda had that vibe, though he clearly tried to fit the matrix, but “my clubhouse” would not fit in the matrix decision making process. Putting that into context with some of Baldelli’s comments about Buxton’s health management plan and other decisions it seems clear to me that Baldelli subscribes. that might be some of the deltas on perception we see. Being a team player in decision making doesn’t make Baldelli indecisive or Counsell decisive, it might be that the Brewers fans having had their FO somewhat longer than the Twins, might be better used to the management model in place for quite some time longer than the Twins where the Hierarchical management had been in place basically forever.

    Believe it or not, in a very small sample size, Gilberto Celestino has hit quite well this season. 147 wRC+ or 47% better than league average (by position and ballpark). further, using my handy splits tool on fangraphs I find that Celestino has been dreadful at home against Lefties batting .114, but away against Lefties he’s hitting a respectable .250.

    I can’t speak for you, but pretty much everything makes me hungry

    Thanks for sharing your work

    Still don’t know what the alternative recovery options are. A 10 day IL stint might not recover it. for instance my UCL/MCL in my right elbow is on a 3 month recovery plan. Immobilized or not it’s taking 3 months. Might as well use it…

    who needs a pitch block anyways? amiright?

    in the “before times” the Hot India food truck used to come to my office… so good! I believe it’s now only at MOA and TF, but the Indian burrito thing was amazeballs confirmed, vegetarian options are available @PDX Twin

    I love the Cubano at Tony O’s! Mmmm The beverage I like with it is Tonic with a slice of Lime from Minne and Paul’s. I don’t drink, I’m always the DD

    There’s a lot of assumptions being made without naming them. 1) we don’t know Buxton’s health 2) we don’t know what the agreement is (agreed with the Phantom, there is likely an agreement of some kind) 3) we don’t know the alternatives to intermittent rest. if we don’t know if there’s an issue, or if this is preventative, we don’t know if Buxton agreed, or if there are alternatives, all we’re left with is guessing. not sure why we got our collective selves all twisted up on this

    Unreal! ugh

    Pinch Contreras for him?
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    C’mon Gilberto! Knock in Gordo
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    these guys? yup Statler and Waldorf. I have kids, we’re watching the muppet show (from when I was a kid, 40 years ago) and it’s hilarious
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    agreed! Celestino sports a 156 wRC+, 56% higher than league average, but SSS. He’s got .341 batting average .432 slug. Lewis has a 148 wRC+, also SSS with .320 batting average .520 slug. it’s only a combined 75 plate appearances, but those two NEED to be in the top half of the lineup

    Paddack went to the 60, Sands was optioned, I believe, but that could have been to make room for Arraez
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    That helps! Thanks Chief
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    ? Did Lewis somehow misplay that from SS over the fence ala Jose Conseco? One run had to be earned
