    A mere technicality 🙂

    "There are no good options - just pick names out of a hat" was probably in the report.

    You left out that Arcia kid we called up today. 😎
  4. gil4
    Nah, he didn't look playable yesterday, either. Seems like 2023.

    I bet you were hoping we wouldn't remember you said this, with the rain delay and all. 😎

    So this was that double-post thing
  7. gil4
    Yeah, I remember looking at the bullpen pitch chart and wondering who would be available. That was before I say SWR was moving to the pen, but if he's done for the night we better hope that rain comes back.

    Three walks to the #8 hitter today. Is it the .198 batting average or the .525 OPS that has them so intimidated?

    They say misery loves company. I enjoyed the game thread, even if the MLB.TV free weekend is feeling overpriced right now.
  10. gil4
    Yep. Slider at the knees, 4-6" off the plate.
  11. gil4
    I thought he finished that story with they lost the next six games. But it still might be worth a try.
  12. gil4
    Maybe they can switch to Saints jerseys
  13. gil4
    Can we trade Outman for him?
  14. gil4
    I thought it was the play where he was rounding third and got a late stop sign. It might have been just before that play.

    I prefer the NFHS definition of obstruction (runner impeded by a fielder not in possession of the ball and not making an initial play on a batted ball. I prefer the OBR penalty. Differences: This would not be obstruction because the runner was not impeded until well after Royce had the ball. Another difference is if the throw takes the fielder into the path of the, that is not obstruction in OBR. I prefer NFHS, which puts the onus on the defense to make a throw that doesn't cause a fielder to obstruct a runner. Now for the penalty - NFHS awards a minimum of one base for any obstruction. OBR has Type I and Type II. Type I is when the play is being made on the obstructed runner - minimum of one base. (I'm OK with the award in last night's game, just not crazy about the rule calling that obstruction.) For type II, at the end of the playing action the umpire will "impose such penalties, if any, as in his judgment will nullify the act of obstruction." Picture the batter rounding first on a base hit and tripping over the first baseman. The cutoff man sees that and throws to first to get him. Type II (not being played on when obstructed). Award first. (NFHS would award 2nd.)

    Either that is 476,872 or Josh has to drop down a couple of spots.
  17. gil4
    Asking too much
  18. gil4
    If a play is being made on the obstructed runner, he "shall be awarded at least one base beyond the base he had last legally touched before the obstruction."

    Is he hurt too? I would think they would save his days off for lefties. Edit - I saw in the game thread that he is.
  21. gil4
    They have a Royce Lewis jersey give-away on Jun 6th. Can they wait that long? Do they send him down now and hope he remembers how to hit in time to call him back up? I'm sure the correct answer is don't let the baseball ops department read anything put out by marketing, but I'm not sure that happens in the real world.
  22. gil4
    Ugh. Holding our breath for another day. No Buxton in the lineup tonight.
  23. gil4
    I will sleep on the ground and help them make bread and vinegar. Tell him he doesn't have to limit himself quite so much. They have some of the Trappist orders over there - they make beer, too.

    "The Twins are already adjusting to life without Matt Wallner after his surprising option to Triple-A St. Paul earlier in the day." That's some comedy gold right there. How will they ever find a corner outfielder who can replace his .551 OPS and offensive defense? After back-to-back 0-4 with 4 K games, I believe the correct adjective is "inevitable." (Others to consider are "overdue" or maybe just "timely." But even this cynical bunch can't be surprised, can we?)

    Even the double he hit on Sunday was an ugly, lunging swing. The pitch got way too much of the plate and he was still lucky to get the bat on it.
