    Ober appears to have run out of magic pixie dust.
  2. USAFChief
    Just can't throw that pitch. Terrible.
  3. USAFChief
    No sir.
  4. USAFChief
    Again, good try. But no.
  5. USAFChief
    No sir. Good try though.

    Yeah, I can see Luplow in the lineup, but batting 3rd?

    What did Yoda say when he saw himself on a 4K TV?
  8. USAFChief
    I watched on TV. Cable. None of this streaming ****.

    Which inning does it become acceptable to pinch hit?

    First rule of holes: when you find yourself in one, stop digging.

    What's new here is the "opener" concept, which can complicate platooning, since the "bulk guy" is basically the starter, only he comes in some time after the "opener," and may not pitch with the same hand. A manager may be forced into making a platoon decision way early. But platooning itself is as old as the advent of LH pitching. Which is to say, it's always been around. Tom Kelly used to use Mike Pagliarulo and Scotty Lieus at 3rd. Earl Weaver platooned. Casey Stengel. Etc etc. It's an age old way to try to squeeze a little more offense out of a position, since the platoon advantage/disadvantage is real, and almost universal. If your roster was big enough you'd ideally like to platoon most EVERY position. Your issues with Gallo are another issue entirely. And you should have the same, or worse issues with Luplow, BTW. Luplow is, if anything, a worse hitter than Gallo and a worse defender as well. The problem is having Gallo and Luplow as your choices, not Rocco trying to maximize his poor options.

    Actually, 32 and 31, respectively.

    Baseball is a funny, and glorious game. The best game. A game in which you might see Dallas Keuchel getting the pounding his 85 MPH slop seemingly deserves, then a week later see him take a perfecto into the 7th. A funny, glorious game. The best game.

    winnah.

    I seriously question whether Bremer is back in 2024. BSN contract is up, Bremer is getting older, and his heart clearly isn't in it for 162 games any longer.
  16. USAFChief
    Your sarcasmeter needs a tuneup.
  17. USAFChief
    Heh. Them Vegas wise guys know how to set a line.
  18. USAFChief
    I give up. Why?
  19. USAFChief
    Didn't really wanna see Theilbar.

    Derek Shelton to his bench coach: "Hey, meat. I got $50 says I can get Rocco to put Gallo in the leadoff spot." Bench coach: "GTFO. You're on. Derek, I mean, seriously. c'mon. That ain't happening." Derek: "Watch and learn, young padawan. Watch and learn."

    MAT draws a walk. They say go to a game, you might see something you've never seen before.
  22. USAFChief
    Wouldn't object to a couple three insurance runs here.
  23. USAFChief
    It hit just above the padded part of the wall. I think the padding goes up 8 feet? Would have taken a great route and then a perfectly timed leap.
  24. USAFChief
    "As expected."
  25. USAFChief
    Regardless what happens, it was 100 percent the right call to take Keuchel out.
