    Oh, they put their cleats on one foot at a time. And sharpen them to quite the point.
  2. sampleSizeOfOne
    That's right! How'd they do?

    No.... pretty sure my handle choice predates his at bat. But it fits. I went searching a year or two afterwards for the comment what had seeded the idea for my handle, but was looking at things at a career level, that most people only get one career...

    What's that leaf shaped flag in the picture? I didn't know they had leaves in the Bronks. And coping with complex situations, it often helps to see it from all points of view. Think how it must feel to be a Yankee or a fan of that team, mercilessly crushing the Twins at every opportunity. Must be pretty good... (I'm playing the long game here, knowing the if we succeeded at this, the Twins would win just to spite us)

    Will this listing be reflected in the individual prospect updates at the end of the daily Minor League action recap?

    I think Simmons fielding percentage of airborn covid globules headed my way is probably somewhat short of Pfizer or Moderna in effectiveness, but may be could give Janssen a run for its money, as well AstraZenica. Definitely I'd give Simmons the starting job over Sputnik Zifivax and Abdala. Neither am i sure i would trust any other middle infielder over him. And at $10 million he is well below the R&D costs of anything on the market. His problem is that he doesn't scale at all. . It would take more than a decade before new Simmonses might become viable defenders in their own right , and who knows what variants he will be effective against? So even if he is good enough, there isn't much he can do to stem the tide of the pandemic, and that sets him up for unrealistic expectations. And as for baseball, keep him around! I personally will be just as disappointed if they let him go early as i would be if they let Buxton go.

    Pretty sure they charge for tickets to minor league games too, just perhaps not as much money, nor of quite so many fans... (well, there was this one time when the box office's credit card machine wasn't working, and they quietly gave tickets anyway, but that's just the exception (and not even one that proves the rule at that))

    And just to be clear, we don't have to make room for Aaron Judge or Kris Bryant on our 40 man roster? It would be a travesty to lose Astudillo or Cave.

    So, more Weebl and Bob than Danny Kaye, in my limited media consumption: [swim, disco]

    Details, please on this... doge coin? Always wondered what a doge was ever since seeing the court jester:

    Is the plural of col. mustard cols. mustard? They mighta done more than you saw... I thought the word "up" was superfluous, myself. Woulda been more appropriate if they had meant mustard instead of mustered, as you butter things up, but you muster the troops. All leaving me confused by the sentence, betwixt and between.

    I don't suppose there is a right up handy of the double a pitcher that accompanied Cruz, is there? Hope they land on their feet in the Tampa Bay farm system.
  13. sampleSizeOfOne
    Yes. (I knew i'd heard the name before) Mets selected him in the 2014 rule v draft. Since then, he has been with the Cardinals, Orioles, Rays, and Ducks, per his wikipedia page.

    You both beat me to it, but i am pleased that some any people here think like me. Well, except neither of you pointed out the obvious, that Astudillo pitching implies mop up duties, which implies a lack of base level joy, so we should be safe from overload here. Unless Ohtani deposits a 3-0 offering in hell. But with the coming apocolypse, we will have bigger concerns at that point.

    So... a game maxes out at 180? There goes my dream of golfing a perfect 300. I always figured that would be easier than bowling one. (but i bet i can still bowl 10 under par...)
  16. sampleSizeOfOne
    Where?!

    I heard a tale of two race car drivers, and one said to the other "let's make it exciting, i'll go 60mph the whole way, and you go 30mph for the first half, and then go tearing the rest of the way and catch me right at the end" Time to go tearing through the standings!

    I know it shouldn't be a consideration, but huzzah for Nellie, as the Twins player best at resting, so hopefully least affected by not getting to rest through the all-star break. Still holding out hope for the improbable run...

    So the moral of this story... In the upcoming draft, we should select relatives of famous artists to give our media folk more to work with. Hadn't we appeased them when Garlick made the team?
  20. sampleSizeOfOne
    Valid question http://www.anotherwaytheatre.co.uk/gulliver.html What's England's equivalent to Broadway? Not sure how far this has to go...
  21. sampleSizeOfOne
    Did they use shot back then? I imagine it wouldn't be sporting to duel with shot.
  22. sampleSizeOfOne
    All depends how you look at it. They split a two game series Thursday-Friday, then they won a one game series Sunday. Or maybe not playing is obviously not winning, so they split the four game series? That has one yet to be made up? Whatever. Confusing, and i certainly didn't help. Just glad we won.
  23. sampleSizeOfOne
    Tsk. Tsk. Space debris has no guidance system. I think someone is mixing up cause and effect here. To paraphrase Count Rugen, Buxton's over-developed sense of fielding is going to get him into trouble some day. And tell me, who else could run down a meteor before it became a meteorite? (amirite?) (And just how did Vicini sign both Inego and Fezzig on the free agent market?! We should be taking notes!)

    Was Hrbek really a spokesperson for Taco Johns? I feel vindicated by his endorsement of my hithertofore guilty affinity for that fastfood chain. My folks had a plastic "25th anniversary" (of Taco and Johns, i presume) cup that i used whenever possible, until it cracked. Nowadays they use waxed paper cups, which will fail quickly and catastrophically on reuse.... As to the actual article... I always thought that saying a pitch had mustard on it was purely figurative. I am torn between my vehement support of condiments, andthe simple fact that pitchers shouldn't be eating on the mound. What says the new policy about gum? I mean batters can chew, why not pitchers?

    Thanks for the post! Does that mean PoSox are no longer? Man, i'm no good at following news...
