    I don't think you can trade Buxton at this point. I mean, you could, but you wouldn't get the return to make it worth your while. At this point, you're all in. Play him and hope it gets better.

    Ignoring the somewhat questionable idea that a handful of PAs against any one pitcher is predictive for any hitter, a quick check of BRef shows Buxton with the following line against Duffy: 10 PAs, .222/.300/.556. Two hits including a double and triple, plus a walk. I understand getting Buxton a day off here and there, but it shouldn't be against a LH pitcher. That's pretty questionable, IMO.

    It was a quick death.

    It's NINE THIRTY Arizona time. I don't know how you people stay up this late. I'm out.

    So...recently I was sitting on an airplane next to a guy who turned out to be a lawyer. I just wanted to sleep, but this guy wanted to prove how smart he was. He wouldn't leave me alone. Finally he offered me a challange: "We'll ask each other questions. For every question I ask you and you can't answer, you'll give me $5. And for every question you ask me that I can't answer, I'll give you $500." Well, I said "Sure." "I'll start," he said. "What is the distance between the earth and moon." "Dunno," I said. "I owe you five bucks. My turn...what goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?" "I'll have to think about that," he said. In the meantime, I got in an hour and half of sleep while he pondered it. Finally, I heard the pilot announce we were about to land, and it woke me. "OK, I give," said the lawyer. "Here's your five hundred dollars. What's the answer to your question?" "Dunno," I said, "Here's another five. Been nice talking with ya."

    3, 4, and 5 hitters, ladies and germs.

    Chief Jr and family are here visiting en route to Yokota Air Base, Japan. We were just commenting that "you know the crowd has thinned when the mic pics up individual people whistling."

    I have no problem with him swinging. He got a pitch to hit. What worries me about Buxton, though, is he was sitting fastball, got it, with pretty much nothing on it, and couldn't hit it hard.
  9. USAFChief
    THREE and oh!
  10. USAFChief
    Precisely … now for the real answer: In most leagues/tournaments, the "shot" they put out is advertised ahead of time.
  11. USAFChief
    WHAT'D HE HAVE TO SAY?
  12. USAFChief
    And the conditions change as the night goes on.
  13. USAFChief
    Yes. I'm still in the honeymoon period.

    Someday, a major league manager is going to come along and tell his team, we are NEVER, EVER, under any circumstances, wasting an out to bunt a guy from first to second. It's a waste of an out--and we only get three per inning--and that's if it WORKS. At least as often, it doesn't even work. He'll be hailed as a genius.
  15. USAFChief
    Thank you KC.
  16. USAFChief
    trending up!!!
  17. USAFChief
    And the other hit with RISP didn't score a run. Rosario's single to left with Adrianza stopping at third.
  18. USAFChief
    Wow...if that was many years ago, and you still have time to get set, that kid was throwing really slow.
  19. USAFChief
    We have the meats.
  20. USAFChief
    If Bux steals second, sac'd to third, we lead now.
  21. USAFChief
    I still drag 4 to my mixed handicap lg with Mrs Chief, 5 to my scratch (challenge shot) league. 229 for the mixed league this year. Best ever.
  22. USAFChief
    Didn't Buxton used to steal bases?
  23. USAFChief
    OK, let's vulture a W for Reed here.
  24. USAFChief
    close to 10, actually. I got rid of a bunch of old ones a couple years ago.
  25. USAFChief
    We took third. Can't keep up with the boys from Flagstaff. They're used to the altitude.
