  • Yeah, I'm sorry, but that counts as being connected with social media. You don't have your own account so you can brag you don't have one ... yet follow your wife's. Uh huh ... doesn't count then. You

  • As a social media hold out, I've survived just fine.  I don't feel like I'm missing a thing and comments like these simply reinforce that.  This is as close as I come to social media, and I'm okay wit

Just rotate those three around.....and put Polanco at SS with Esco as your utility?

 

That's what I'd do the rest of the year, with Polanco getting half of Plouffe's 3B starts, or maybe all of them....

I don't like the idea of Sano playing third less than a week after an MRI. Negative or not, his elbow wasn't right, he's already had TJ, and it's a lost season--why risk anything? If you didn't want Mauer in the field, just put Vargas at first, since he needs to be further evaluated anyways.

Fair, I was really talking the rest of the year, not tonight.....

Oh, definitely, Sano should play some third the rest of the year, and when he's not at third, Polanco should be. That of course assumes Molitor has the stones and/or the direction from the FO to sit at least one of Mauer or Plouffe every night. Somehow I doubt it.

I've never once seen one FB post like those you mention, like I said, there is wheat to be found....

 

I highly recommend Humans of New York (which, you can get on a web site). Their recent work with PTSD and refugees is amazing stuff. Their older stuff where it is just stories is great also.

Yeah ... love that one.

 

But if you are looking for more posts like 'Taking a nap now' or 'Grocery shopping' ... I'll be happy to throw in a few for you. :)

And if astronomy or planetary science is of interest, I can help you out with that.

With Polanco, I just want to see him stay slotted in the 2-hole if not leadoff. And he seems tolerable at short for the time being.

LaVelle tweets:

 

"For those coming down for the game tomorrow: It's Zombie Night at Kauffman Stadium."

 

Better get Berrios a crossbow.

I don't know a lot about either of those, but I could give input on changing the oil in a two cylinder John Deere! :)

Deere has been a major customer of mine, twice over. :)

 

I live vicariously through my wife's Facebook account, I have no interest in having my own. 

I'm not on social media. I just frequently log into my evil twin's account.

A 7:15 start time?  Did someone need a 5 minute nappy??

Twins should be beating the crap outta Gee. 

 

 

There, see what happens when you listen to me???

 

 

DOZIER HOMER !

aaaaahhh......   not good.

 

No review of that play??

Bert now thinks players should have intent before getting called out for running outside the baseline.  Players are taught to run inside on bunts to try and force a bad throw.

 

The rules are in place.  Run in the baseline.  No need to read a players mind to see if he meant to interfere.

Is there such a thing as unusual luck when arcane rules are invoked?

So two games in a row with Mauer not at 1B?  yup, defense is a priority...

No kidding. Where does that slippery slope end? "Uh, I meant to hit a home run, but I only popped up to the catcher". Ump:"ok, round the bases. You best not being lyin'!"

GameDay still trying to catch up.

Keeping his legs fresh to sustain the power spike.

 

 

 

On an unrelated note, I may be retiring to the safe room for a while.

Another lead off dozier homer? Gee, didn't see that coming.

GameDay just now showing Sano strikeout...

 

Another walk for Rosario. I am a little confused

yeah, pretty soon he'll hit doubt digits...

 

The second game in his last 11 games he got at least one BB.  That qualifies as quite often recently for Dick.

I think luck is a divine spell...
