I knew Chief's jokes reminded me of a classic comedian.  I was thinking Henny Youngman, but really, it is this guy.

Ok, ok, I've put on a few pounds. Maybe could use a body shave.

Geez, cut me some slack.

Fitting doesn't seem to quite describe the perfection you have just stated.  Bravo!

I refuse to accept getting ninja'd by Squirrel.

Joe Smith... John Smith's lesser known brother?

It's called foreshadowing, Chief.  

I'll leave it at that.

How long have you known Chief?

[Mill1634]

Trying to win a backend bullpen game against Cleveland is never easy. Not getting any runs with the bases loaded is (probably) going to cost us this game.

I don't know, I'd surely put him behind Jerry Rice.

I'll add Celestino to the list with Lewis. Urshela and Sanchez are soaking up ABs high in the order while being nearly black hole status. I don't think there's much to lose by bumping some of the kids up. 

 agreed!
 

Celestino sports a 156 wRC+, 56% higher than league average, but SSS. He’s got .341 batting average .432 slug. Lewis has a 148 wRC+, also SSS with .320 batting average .520 slug.

it’s only a combined 75 plate appearances, but those two NEED to be in the top half of the lineup

Pagan only made 9 pitches, will he come back to pitch the 9th?

[stringer bell]

Pagán with a 1-2-3 inning. Naturally, it happens about as often as a total lunar eclipse.
