    Bringing in Julien and shifting Farmer to third wasn’t the only choice. They could have put Wallner in left and moved Castro to third. (Not arguing for or against either choice, just saying that what they did wasn’t the only viable option.)

    Captain Jax got us by tonight.

    Carlos did not ground into a double play, by the way. Of note is that he also seemed to get down the line much more comfortably than he did a year ago.
  4. IndianaTwin
    Indeed. Bonus of being near Ben & Jerry’s headquarters
  5. IndianaTwin
    And in the case of one of those, zero command of the English language.

    Fifty years ago this summer, I went to my first Major League Baseball game — TIgers at Kansas City. Out of all the turf stadiums, it’s always been the most attractive. But each time I see it on the screen, it gets nicer and nicer. Is there a park in MLB that has aged as beautifully as Kauffman? I’m sure they are longing for new bells and whistles, but I think it’s a bummer that they are talking about building a new park.

    You think Chief doesn’t know ancient history? He was there.
  8. IndianaTwin
    Check.

    I so much prefer when Royce jogs around the bases.

    Went on vacation this winter. Visited the Van Tropp family homestead. Visited the maintenance shed, where I saw there was an unused tool attached to the work bench. It was an idle vice.

    Lewis’s OPS dropping like crazy. EDIT: Like Ash said.
  12. IndianaTwin
    Much-maligned Margot batting 1.000.
  13. IndianaTwin
    Bad as it is in the other 49 states, do people on this site know that it’s actually illegal to laugh loudly at Chief’s jokes when in Hawaii? It has to be a lo “ha.”
  14. IndianaTwin
    And not sustained.
  15. IndianaTwin
    But of course, Royce.
  16. IndianaTwin
    Tolkien?

    So if you operate under the assumption that pretty much everyone is going to get at least one start in the opening series, would you propose giving Julien and Wallner the start against the lefty today and Farmer and Margot the start against one of the righties they will see Saturday or Sunday?
  18. IndianaTwin
    Opening Day should be a national holiday. I feel like Chuck.
  19. IndianaTwin
    Yes.* *Actually, probably not either, but "yes" was the required answer.

    I’ll disagree. 😀 I’m sure it’s driven by that summer being the heyday of my childhood collecting, but this is my all-time favorite set. I like the multicolored bars and the positional silhouettes. Though this isn’t Twin-specific, I also like the “All-Time Greats” subset, since it was the 100th anniversary of the NL and 75th of the AL. That’s probably the only way I will ever have Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig cards, for example. It also has some cool “record breakers.” AND, the Traded Set extension has Oscar Gamble. It may be the best set in history for that card alone!

    Here's the update from MLB.com on Sano's (and Adrianza's) likelihood of making the team: https://www.mlb.com/angels/news/angels-remaining-roster-decisions-ahead-of-opening-day

    It’s definitely a positive omen that when I pulled a random bottle from my collection of vintage pops a few minutes ago, it was a Jic Jac strawberry soda. But yeah, not overlooked unless you’re in the national media and are comparing to Correa/Buxton/Lewis.
  23. IndianaTwin
    Over the last two years, a 1.15 WHIP and 2.26 ERA, with a K/BB of 3.85 and K/9 of 10.2. If he can do that again, he’ll be one of the most effective guys in the pen. As @Hheimer said, low-risk, high-reward, particularly after a couple injuries.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Resulting move being DeSclafini to the 60-day IL?
  25. IndianaTwin
    I agree — this is one of my favorite sets as well, even though I don’t have many cards from this year. The silhouetted player for the position indicator is the key. I like the 1976 set for the same reason. I don’t recall seeing the Kaat card with him as a hitter. That’s almost an impossible standard to beat. It’s splitting hairs to get to this, but the size and placement in the center of the card has me giving a tiny edge to the Oliva autograph.
