The team I hope doesn’t get hot is the White Sox. If they go on a streak and win five of their last nine, we’ll miss out on seeing that 100 in their loss column.

I don’t have access, so it makes no real difference to me, but yeah, something like only home games and Central division road games is the kind of way that a lot of announcers have exited. The great Vin did just six road games his final season, the opener in San Diego, two in Anaheim and the season-ending series in San Francisco.

You do have a point.

Dang, I didn’t get switched to the Angel radio broadcast in time. You folks DON’T want to hear how Dazzle described the O’Hoppe fly ball to the wall and the Castro triple.

There’s a lot of intelligence here on the TD GT, so maybe you’ll will be more helpful than the people at work today. I asked a number of people what IDK meant, and they all said, “I don’t know.” It’s so frustrating when no one can help you.

Uh, yes?

I didn’t need lots. I got the best one, and Mrs. IT has been with me for more than 40 years. (Also: could someone please send a screen shot of this post to MrsIT@aol.com?)

There’s this promo on the radio that is bizarre. Brian Kenney is talking about the rules changes and how they bring “more balls in play because of shift restrictions.” I confess to having heard it a whole bunch of times before saying, “Wait a minute. What do shift restrictions have to do with the number of balls put in play?”

I’m pretty good with a spreadsheet, so let me manage. 😄

It came to pass, as both Cleveland and Detroit won. With tonight’s schedule, even if Cleveland loses its 7:10 Eastern game, the Twins don’t clinch yet, thanks to Detroit also being alive. Thus, the Twins (8:10 Eastern) do have things in their hands by being able to win before Detroit loses (9:40 Eastern).

Heroes Get Remembered, but Legendary Baseball Stats Never Die
IndianaTwin commented on Wookiee of the Year's blog entry in Blog Wookiee of the Year
This is awesome. It leaves only one question on the comparables. Wendy Peffercorn? It's gotta be Marilyn Monroe, right? -
I think moderators like @Squirrel have the magical ability to delete a thread or merge it with another.
-
It would. I kinda want Cleveland to win tomorrow, so we can all celebrate together via Game Thread. Maybe I’ll just root for rain.

Is "Ortiz" a verb? As in, "We're getting ready to Ortiz the Guardians."

So did I. That chance ended early in my first season of Pee Wee League.

Not me. I'd have to remember him to be able to forget him.

G'bye.

Are We Getting Enough Talent From our Drafts during Falvey's Tenure?
IndianaTwin commented on Brandon's blog entry in Blog Brandon
If the question is whether we're getting enough assets in the draft, Petty is definitely an asset from the 2021 draft. He got us two years of Gray. -
Complete game shutouts, at that! (With Blizzards for all.)

Because it would be three days rest. Wild Card is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (if necessary), with an off day on Friday and ALDS starting on Saturday.

Exactly -- my point is that if you've used your "long guy" (say, Varland) in Game 1, you don't have him for Game 2 (and perhaps not Game 3), so you need someone like Ober/Maeda/Ryan (whoever you've deemed Starter No. 5) available for multiple innings as well. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. With games potentially three days in a row, you can't have just one guy that's a multiple-inning (even three innings) guy. Subject to change, I'm coming up with... Yes to (12)... Lopez Gray No. 3 starter (I'm with Maeda) No. 5 starter (from the pen, I'm with Ober) Duran Pagan Jax Thielbar Varland Funderburk Two from among Floro, Winder, Paddack No to... No. 4 starter (I'm with Ryan), who goes Game 1 in ALDS if the WC round went 3. Alcala Keuchel

A potential blowout is actually why I include Ober. In the playoffs, the hook on starters gets shorter. If Lopez or Gray were to give up four runs in 2.2 innings, for example, you almost have to get Stewart in to put out the fire and then try to get 3-4 innings from someone like Ober to get back on track for the next day's game. Yeah, I know, Varland, but what if he's getting hit as well? Or what if he goes two innings in the Game 1 win and isn't available in the fourth inning of Game 2? I don't know what the pecking order is, but whatever it is, I think you drop the No. 4 starter from the Wild Card roster so that he can start Game 1 of the next round, and you have the No. 5 guy on the roster for blowout circumstances. Remember as well that the Manfred Man rules disappear in the playoffs, so there's a much greater likelihood of a long extra-inning game where that No. 5 starter comes in handy.

And probably also before Maeda's last one (or two)?

They have a greater likelihood of a first-round bye (by gaining 5.5 games on the West leader) than they do of having either Baltimore or Tampa Bay falling to the No. 6 seed.
