    Should have been a K.

    I was less than a year old when the 65 series happened, and I still can't agree with that. Even if it's just until tomorrow.

    I'm not a fan of the HR derby tiebreaker. I would rather have had the ghost runner. I would rather have had bases loaded with ghost runners. Maybe I'm just grumpy because it's past my bedtime. It's really past the bedtime of the kids on the east coast, so I guess it's good they found a way to end it fast..

    I think you are off a couple of decimal points on the number you are subtracting. $1.7B - $425M = $1,275B, not $1.65B. It's still a big chunk of money.

    Regression to mean may already be underway. Meanwhile, the Phillies are taking BP with the bucket of baseballs they got for him. Let's hold off on evaluation of the trade. Seriously, the little hot streak he had was probably worth the trade, as long as nobody thinks he's really the .950 OPS guy he has been since he arrived, rather then the sub-.700 OPS guy he has been his whole career. The "whole career" may have a bit of SSS to it, and maybe he can be a bit better than he has shown in the past, but his minor league numbers are more AAAA/sub/utility than MLB regular. There's some value to that, but there's more if you have options left, which he doesn't.

    I guess they are still looking

    He was in the picture and had veered off, probably because Jeffers called it. Also, the angle is a bit deceptive. The back edge of the coaching box is in line with the base, and Jeffers didn't reach the from edge. (The box is 20 feet wide.) I would like to see Royce spend a bit of time in AAA, but not because of this play.

    Not just available to play, he played the whole game. Then he was off yesterday, so it wasn't all about getting him at-bats. But I agree that traveling Tampa --> Omaha makes more sense than Tampa --> Seattle --> Omaha

    I came so close to doing just that. Reaching for the remote was just too much effort - sometimes laziness pays off.

    This is the way they determine if he has gone all the way past the base. If both feet aren't completely in the yellow shaded area, he hasn't gone completely past it.

    I'll have what you're drinking

    As a Twins fan who grew up halfway between Yankee Stadium and Fenway, I agree. (The Yankee fans are more obnoxious than the Red Sox fans.) White Sox are second. The Guardians are making a move, but they are still back in the pack.

    With the military, slow-pitch just took over. Fast pitch is a pitcher's game; slow-pitch is a hitter's game. When a team has 1 pitcher and 9-10 hitters, it's hard to cater to the one. Fast pitch died around 1985 where I was. I showed up 2 years after it was gone, but there were still a couple of guys who had played. before it died.

    It seems like the next step is going to be a beer bong out there.

    For high school games, I blame the scoreboard operators, who are usually kids from the junior high team.

    You're not going to like the answer.
  17. gil4
    He has been pretty shaky since he came back. He's not quite in Alcala territory, but three runs isn't enough for comfort with him, either.
  18. gil4
    Yeah, I would have thought they would all insist on the White Sox or Yankees.
  19. gil4
    That last pitch was a great way to finish.
  20. gil4
    Don't be

    They released the last two names: Brock Stewart Jorge Alcala

    Unfortunately, five sounds about right. It's an easy on, easy off bandwagon, too.
  23. gil4
    He just turned 32 a couple of days ago. He could still have a couple of years of his prime left.😎 (I shouldn't give management any ideas.) He's a big guy and had some leg injuries.
  24. gil4
    Hopefully we can break out the brooms again tomorrow.

    Finally made up some ground on the rest of the division, too. ("Too early to scoreboard-watch" only applied to the players.)
