    If Eddie can do it, so can Joe.
  2. IndianaTwin
    Seems like I heard that somewhere.

    What? I scrolled through seven pages of comments and no one has made an obligatory comment like, "Was your clue that he wouldn't buy anything that wasn't in the day-old bread section"? I guess I'll have to do it. Was your clue that it was Falvey that he wouldn't buy anything that wasn't in the day-old bread section?

    Did they just show Ryan flipping off the crowd when they were showing him "visualizing how he wants to release the ball"? And to be clear, it wasn't a vulgar expression. They just showed him extending his arm and flipping the wrist in his throwing motion, but it looked like he had the middle finger extended.

    Are you already campaigning for Correa? Caitlin Clark?

    From the OP (italics added): "I’m not breaking new ground here. I don’t have any secret insight. But I want to talk about gambling—the one thing Baseball has ever put its foot down on." ----------------------------------------- To me, "putting its foot down" has become less meaningful when one considers the sources of advertising revenue on telecasts. (This comment was not brought to you by DraftKings.)

    To clarify, it will come down to one of the "Committees," which is made up mostly of former players. I'm wondering if that's to his advantage or disadvantage.

    He and I have a lot in common in having four areas to improve before being able to contribute. For me it's 1) fastball; 2) curve ball; 3) changeup; and 4) slider. Oh, and my defense could use some help.
  9. IndianaTwin
    I can agree, but it also was the most likely way to slam the door and assure that only one guy was needed for the middle of the order. To pick on Topa, since he threw the fewest pitches yesterday, if he starts the ninth and gives up a run or two and you still have to go to the closer, that really hurts.

    Have the ones from February, January… August already had an opportunity?
  11. IndianaTwin
    But the crows are being eaten by those longing to trade Paddack.
  12. IndianaTwin
    Who else do you need?
  13. IndianaTwin
    Further adding to the kiss of death, he's even on pace to becoming the franchise's first member of the 30/30 club.
  14. IndianaTwin
    Makes sense on France.
  15. IndianaTwin
    Thanks. I forgot about Correa's reduction. There's also Castro's $6.4M and France's $1M, right? So that's essentially $43M coming off.
  16. IndianaTwin
    Did you include Dobnak's $3M? I think the number is actually over $37M. Right now the Arb increases are Ober, Ryan, Duran, Jax, Stewart, Sands, Jeffers, Lewis and Larnach. Others who are Arb-eligible are Tonkin, Alcala, Lovelady, Clemens, Bride and Miranda.
  17. IndianaTwin
    After a rocky start, Lopez getting through six was huge, particularly with needing an extra inning from the bullpen.
  18. IndianaTwin
    Start each word with a capital letter and I think that would work well as his new nickname.
  19. IndianaTwin
    Or at least tie it.
  20. IndianaTwin
    You expected English?
  21. IndianaTwin
    Darrell Evans did spend a fair amount of his career playing for the Giants.
  22. IndianaTwin
    Realistically, the Orioles wouldn't be interested in Paddack. They are likely out of it, so why would they want only a partial year of a back-of-the-rotation pitcher? Paddack is only of interest to a team that says, "We're a smidge short on the pitching side and could use one more arm to nudge us over the top." Injuries happen. I think there's too great of a likelihood that if the Twins trade Paddack now, come July they'll be saying, "We're a smidge short on the pitching side and could use one more arm to nudge us over the top."
  23. IndianaTwin
    Plus, if you take out Paddack's clunker like you did Ober's, his ERA is down to 3.41.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Also, Basallo has been hurt and hasn't caught yet this year.
  25. IndianaTwin
    Here's the wins: April 23: Entered in the top of the seventh with bases loaded and one out, ahead 2. Sac fly scores 1. Allows triple and sac fly in the eighth to tie the score. Nats score in bottom of the eighth. April 25: Entered in top of the ninth, down 1. Goes 1-2-3 and Nats score twice in the bottom of the ninth. April 29: Entered in top of ninth, two outs, runners on second and third, down one. Gets the out. Nats score twice in bottom of the ninth. May 4: Enters in bottom of the sixth, tied. Gets all six batters in two innings, Nats score three in top of the seventh. May 6: Enters in top of the seventh, ahead 1, one out and runners on first and second. Single, single, groundout, single with runner thrown out at home. Nats now down 8-6, but score four in the bottom of the seventh to go up two. He does go 1-2-3 in the top of the eighth. So the 1st and 5th were when he blew the lead and then vultured a win. In the other three, he did his job and vultured. Looks like it's been feast or famine. In the "bad outings can ruin a reliever's ERA" department, he's given up 10 of his 14 earned runs in three games, including Wednesday, when he got the dreaded "Pitched to three batters in sixth" line in the box score. In his other 14 appearances, he's thrown 15.1 innings, with 9 hits, 3 walks (0.786 WHIP) and 4 earned runs. (2.35 ERA).
