    "...a production of Cats at Earl Campbell Middle School in League City." I want to write like Randball.
  2. USAFChief
    He's scheduled to return just in time to pitch 6.1 shutout innings against the Twins in game 2 of the ALDS.
  3. USAFChief
    Frickin' Baldelli! Rests his regulars WAY too much.
  4. USAFChief
    Depends on what day that final game falls on.

    I doubt the Twins call up Kiriloff to replace an injured Cave, unless Cave was playing every day. If that was the case, Kiriloff would then play every day. They're not going to put Kiriloff on the bench for any length of time. He's more valuable to the organization then Cave, and they dont need metrics to make that call. A better question...would they call up Kiriloff if it was Rosario going on the IL?

    if you spread ABs across the roster, you are by definition intentionally taking ABs from the better players and giving them to the weaker players. I dont want Adrianza to get ABs at the expense of Polanco, except as necessary, and I dont want Cave to get ABs at the expense of Kepler or Buxton. I trust our management to be capable of using history, health, and potential to determine ahead of time where the regular playing time should go. Now, if someone has 3 months of poor performance, and you have someone worth trying, fine. But I absolutely dont want them to make that decision based on who was hot yesterday.
  7. USAFChief
    yes. Absolutely.

    I got the bonus...its ME!

    Let's make the regular season 7 games, and the post season 162.
  10. USAFChief
    yeah, the gang problem is pretty bad in south central.
  11. USAFChief
    Yes.

    Boy, I dont agree. IMO Pete Rose, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds, gambling on baseball--including games which he was managing--is a scandal multiple orders of magnitude bigger than this. This is big, and ugly, but it doesnt lead me to believe there's any chance games could have been lost intentionally. Nothing can be as corrosive to the integrity of competition as the hint of an idea that games are being lost on purpose. Gambling does that.

    Contender for Post of the Year.

    I think the fact the Commissioner sent out a letter in September, 2017 to all teams is pretty clear proof they DID know, or suspect, what was happening. But at that point, what else would you have him do?
  15. USAFChief
    Players were granted immunity at the start of the investigation, in an attempt to get to the truth. In addition, the letter the commissioner sent out in 2017, specifically addressing this issue, make clear GMs and Managers would be held accountable for violations.

    "Relegation" is a terrible idea. "Lower divisions" is a terrible idea. I don't want a system whereby the big money teams are "the major leagues," and everyone else is considered AAA. Really, really bad idea. It's an argument for one 10 team major league.

    Across the street, a neon sign All you can eat for a dollar ninety nine Aww, that old stew is the baddest in the land But a one dollar's worth was all that I could stand

    I don't see what the huge uproar is all about. I'm old school, but They're not going back to 2 leagues, winners make the WS. Expansion of the postseason has been going on for a long time now, and further expansion is probably inevitable. They'd be adding 2 teams per league to the postseason, which is probably a bad idea overall, but understandable from a money and marketing perspective. If they're going to add 2 teams, this isn't a terrible idea. I actually like the idea of the better teams getting the chance to pick their opponant. Best record, and winning your division, would still matter. Best of three instead of 1 game shots for the first round.
  21. USAFChief
    Single a? I count three of em. Maybe you meant a single J?
  22. USAFChief
    How will this affect Graterol's future earnings? His rookie salary is predetermined, and after this year this whole thing is a nonissue. Either he proves healthy, or he is injured. In either case, Boston's opinion on his future is irrelevant. And no...team's shouldn't have to go through with trades, for any reason, until they do.
  23. USAFChief
    the failure to add to the front of the rotation was, and still is a failure. They've recovered pretty well, but it's still a failure, and this trade is but one result of that failure.
  24. USAFChief
    I remain mildly supportive of this trade, dont care a whit about Raley, but...taking back money for a pick is rather disappointing. I can live with it, it's not a big deal, it just adds a whiff of sour smell to the entire process.

    Who's "account?" Yours?
