  1. Concur. It's only May 17. As long as he stays healthy, it's very likely he'll be up by the All-Star break or sooner for someone else's injury anyway. Or even as an easy swap if Matthews isn't stellar. When you consider that SWR is being demoted, it's incredibly rare to have only had 15 days of IL time from any of their starters at this point in the season. I checked one time and on average, we're at something like starter No. 8 by this time already. At the most, service time is about No. 10 on the list of considerations.
  2. I sometimes drive through Mankato for work and I can't help but look for the Happy Chef.
  3. For big games, crowds would be huge. A couple thousand at times.
  4. Probably that a fly ball to the track, a double off the wall and a smoked grounder doesn't count as dominant. I'm definitely going to the pen.
  5. The Elkhart/Mishawaka area nearby was one of those hotbeds for Class A and above as recent as when I was a sportswriter in the '90s. Some of the area RV manufacturers were big sponsors. It's tailed off and a friend just said there's nothing here, but thinks there might be some C league teams about 90 minutes away in Michigan. Perhaps some D league teams in Indianapolis.
  6. Shirts are available on his Web site. It would be awesome to wear one to a game and see what conversations it brings about with people. https://kingandhiscourt.net/shop
  7. Never got to actually see him. I remember posters of him being in some nearby town when I was a kid, but we were always baling hay or something.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. Are you already campaigning for Correa? Caitlin Clark?
  11. 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.)
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Further adding to the kiss of death, he's even on pace to becoming the franchise's first member of the 30/30 club.
  16. 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.
