  1. Kyle Gibson reminds of an engineer in Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry murals. If we can at least keep playing competitive ball from game to game henceforth I'll stay tuned in
  2. One wonders why Arcia has only 18 PA. Looks like the Rays are using him effectively though The DFA is why. Duh
  3. How old was Marcum when he had surgery? The other three examples cited were 34 or older. Is this diagnosis usually given to older players?
  4. Maybe he finds playing baseball a great way to procrastinate penning his memoir Maybe he still finds it fun to play baseball
  5. I was at the Nats game last night and saw the Nats go six for six in steals off d'Arnaud, he of the .206 BA. It's a good thing the collective id of TD doesn't run the front office
  6. Alex Meyer straight up for Wilson Ramos. Stop twisting the knife
  7. Keep Buxton up! Faith is the evidence of things unseen and the substance of things to come
  8. Last season when tout le monde was arguing, about how to get Lucroy in a trade, the principal argument against it was that he would cost too much. If one agrees that an organization will hold on to their good hitting prosepct catcher, then it follows that Nunez doesn't net us this kid.
  9. A propos of nothing: Sano still leads the team in RBI.
  10. What is the timeline for the waiver wire? When will we learn whether he's cleaimed?
  11. Apparently more valuable than Arcia though
  12. Is Santana out of options? If he is, he'll have to pass waivers when he's activated from the DL before he can be sent down.
  13. I don't think he knows who Bubbles is
  14. Can a rehab stint last a few months?
  15. Which is to say cultural exchange is predicated on shared language more so than anything else. More bilingual persons in pro ball would be great but maybe having more people who speak Spanish as a second language would be as helpful as having Spanish speaking players learn English. A bilingual person has the advantage of having two modes of cultural exchange. Monoglots have one and that's a shame. Here's a joke told, I am told, all over the world: What do you call a person who speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call a person who speaks one language? American.
  16. I have noticed play by play anouncers calling Francisco Lindor Frankie. In Spanish the diminutive for Francisco is Pancho.
  17. Unless it is listing heavily towards home plate. Then it always bunts without a sign. Your ficus plant reminded me of a surely spurious story about Plato. For the sake of argument with some precocious Athenian youths Plato defined man as a featherless biped. A few days later Diogenes the Cynic walked through the Agora holding a plucked chicken.
  18. To be fair I don't know what a ficus plant looks like
  19. Actially in '12 he slugged .299 and in '14 he slugged .371. '13 and '15 were good seasons. I do agree with your larger point
  20. The bunt and its exegesis are ways to question discipline, I think. Whether Molitor can run a crew. Whether a good manager would have a team with such poor judgment as to try to bunt when you're fourth in the league in batting average and you have the fastest man in baseball on base. Such an argument might go what would TK or Joe Madden do etc etc For my part I am not in a camp. Just surveying
  21. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.
  22. Every time an ex-Twin has a good series against us ppl make out like we made a huge mistake. Danny Valencia was awful for years. He has a spotty mlb history. Leave him out of this.
