Sure that could happen.

It can't be Ober now since Gordon was called up as the corresponding move.

Hildenberger DFA'd again.

I still don't understand why we have co-hitting coaches. in no way should there be 2 of them. there should be one hitting coach and one assistant hitting coach. Maybe there is an issue where one teaches one way and the other a different way. i liken this to my 10th grade geometry class. We had co-teachers who said they both taught exactly the same. But they did not. One was able to make it make sense where the other one was extremely confusing and taught a lot of things backwards. I barely scraped a C out of the class when I had always been an A student in math. When you can't understand part of it it can make things confusing. Also the Mets fired both of their hitting coaches awhile back out of nowhere. Although i think Lindor put pressure on the team to do it.

Jake Cave to the 60 day IL with a fractured back, Rob Refsnyder called up.

I think they last a couple of catchers so they traded with the Rangers to get him. Also think they guy they DFA'd to make room was claimed by the Rangers.

JT Chargois called up by the Mariners.

He can still decline the assignment, and would have to be DFA'd regardless as he has no options.

Neither has options so they had no choice unless they kept one on the MLB roster.

Marty Schottenheimer although the first season was only 8 games of it at 4-4.

I would expect Telis to be sent back on Friday. he was the only player left on the taxi squad. No reason to fly someone out to OAK and probably wouldn't have made it in time anyways.

They've actually had three on at one time. they've used their local CW affiliate that they own to show a few Wolves games.

But the NBA/NHL games also ended up being day games. They created the plus channel a few years ago so they could air 2 games at the same time.

Well ST Peter did not mention that in the interview I saw late in ST. He said it was due to demand.

Oh I know about attendance being on par with past seasons so far as was mentioned above. I just disagree with DSP on there being more demand for weekday day games. No way BSN wants that, and no way parents with kids in school want that. I was spoiled the last few years, working nights or not at all and was able to attend weekday day games often. Now that I have generally bankers hours I have missed all these games.

Dave St. peter said in an interview before the season starte dthat there was a demand for early season weekday day games. Not sure where this demand came from but the attendance shows otherwise.

As of now Buxton is listed.

Something has happened this year though. I was listening to the games early last week and there was quite a bit of dead air. No crowd noise, baseball noises, anything. I noticed it last year on occasion but wasn't listening as much as I do now.

Lynn didn't want to be here.

Googled it and found this: Pre-1920 – A player generally is required to appear in at least 100 or more games when the schedule was 154 games, and 90 games when the schedule was 140 games. An exception to the rule was made for Ty Cobb in 1914, who appeared in 98 games but had a big lead and was also a favorite of American League President Ban Johnson. 1920–1949 – A player had to appear in 100 games to qualify in the NL; the AL used 100 games from 1920 to 1935, and 400 at-bats from 1936 to 1949. The NL was advised to adopt 400 at-bats for the 1945 season, but National League President Ford Frick refused, feeling that 100 games should stand for the benefit of catchers and injured players. 1950–1956 – A player needed 2.6 at-bats per team game originally scheduled. (With the 154-game schedule of the time, that meant a rounded-off 400 at-bats.) From 1951 to 1954, if the player with the highest average in a league failed to meet the minimum at-bat requirement, the remaining at-bats until qualification (e.g., five at-bats, if the player finished the season with 395 at-bats) were hypothetically considered hitless at-bats; if his recalculated batting average still topped the league, he was awarded the title. This standard applied in the AL from 1936 to 1956. 1957 to the present – A player has needed 3.1 plate appearances per team game originally scheduled; thus, players were no longer penalized for walking so frequently, nor did they benefit from walking so rarely. (In 1954, for example, Ted Williams batted .345 but had only 386 ABs, while topping the AL with 136 walks. Williams thus lost the batting title to Cleveland's Bobby Ávila, who hit .341 in 555 ABs.) In the 154-game schedule, the required number of plate appearances was 477, and since the era of the 162-game schedule, the requisite number of plate appearances has been 502. Adjustments to this figure have been made during strike-shortened seasons, such as 1972, 1981, 1994, and 1995. From 1967 to the present, if the player with the highest average in a league fails to meet the minimum plate-appearance requirement, the remaining at-bats until qualification (e.g., five at-bats, if the player finished the season with 497 plate appearances) are hypothetically considered hitless at-bats; if his recalculated batting average still tops the league, he is awarded the title. This is officially Rule 10.22(a), but it is also known as the Tony Gwynn rule because the Padres' player won the batting crown in 1996 with a .353 average on just 498 plate appearances (i.e., he was four shy). Gwynn was awarded the title since he would have led the league even if he'd gone 0-for-4 in those missing plate appearances. His average would have dropped to .349, five points better than second-place Ellis Burks' .344.[20] In 2012, a one-time amendment to the rule was made to disqualify Melky Cabrera from the title. Cabrera requested that he be disqualified after serving a suspension that season for a positive testosterone test. He had batted .346 with 501 plate appearances, and the original rule would have awarded him the title over San Francisco Giants teammate Buster Posey, who won batting .336.

They should not have put any tickets for the opener on sale to the general public unless all STH were taken care of. The My Pro Venue system MLB uses is also hot garbage. I was in at 10 AM both for the presale to STH and public and not once were any tickets available when I selected an option, even though when I'd select a different section the previous tickets I tried to get were still showing in the list. . I know several other people had the same thing happen. there has to be a better system then MPV. Ticketmaster works better, and I thought that was impossible to be true.

Thanks I've called and still don't get any answers. Seems like it shouldn't be hard to get in touch with my rep or at least het answers. But i shouldn't have to take a cheaper ticket and not get credit.

I never got any emails as far as seat selection went. I got one voicemail that stated it would be my turn to pick seats soon, but i called and left several messages for my rep but never heard back and then tickets went on sale and I had the vouchers in my account. My tickets were supposed to be Infield Box Middle. I had to settle for diamond box upper which is not a part of the flex 20 package. On top of this I have never spoken with my rep nor has he returned any calls or emails.

I only have 18 vouchers left after I use 2 for the game. I was under the same impression that we'd get credit.

I was only able to get one game with my 20 game package so far and it is nowhere near where I am supposed to be. In fact it is a cheaper ticket but no credit for that either.
