    Heh.

    Both moves were backdated to their initial placement on the 10 day IL, and basically procedural to open spots on the 40 man. Larnach has already spent more than 60 days on the IL and can be activated when/if healthy. Jeffers went on the IL mid July and would be eligible mid September, but I think the latest I read said they were hoping for late September.

    Nice Job Bundy. Nice job Correa. Nice job Duran. And finally...I wonder if Falvine are feeling just a little snake bit. "OK. OK, Paddack ... Pagan ... Mahle ... Lopez ... Fullmer ... haven't exactly gone as envisioned. ... I know, let's add Billy Hamilton! His ONLY skill is speed! Speed can't possibly go into a slump! What could go wrong??!?"

    I know, right? I mean, when I'm having White Castle I just drink the cheap stuff.

    I entered 10 of my puns in a pun contest, hoping to win. But not one pun in ten did

    So ... was he... "Toby or not Toby."

    Winnah.

    There's no hopscotch in baseball!

    Now on for the Twinkies, Katy Thielbar The Door..

    Stupid Miranda doesn't get a sac fly!
  11. USAFChief
    You laugh. Have you seen Urshela go 1st to 3rd?
  12. USAFChief
    You have to be kidding me.
  13. USAFChief
    "Hamilton?"
  14. USAFChief
    So...why did we pinch run again?
  15. USAFChief
    I wouldn't do that.
  16. USAFChief
    Pagan for the 9th? //ducks
  17. USAFChief
    Send Gordon and try to steal a run.
  18. USAFChief
    Probably not good, but this most recent in the 8th wasn't a sac fly situation. 1st and 2nd.
  19. USAFChief
    That last pitch was nasty.
  20. USAFChief
    Heh. Awful.
  21. USAFChief
    Eh, if I'm managing, we put the contact play on almost every time with 1 out. With Celestino due up, EVERY time.
  22. USAFChief
    Such awful baseball. A fricken flyball from Gordon or Sanchez is all that's needed.
  23. USAFChief
    Run the catcher over.

    Baseball IQ in general, to me, is knowing the correct play. Some is instinctual, some is learned. Which base to throw to. Knowing when you can stretch for an extra base. Understanding when a ball is hit, where you'll end up being needed for a cutoff and where the play is going to likely occur. When is it likely the other team will have a play on, and what to do about it. Reading opposing hitters' swings to position yourself a little better. Anticipating various possibilities so you're not surprised when they occur. These things make a difference. But they're like porn....hard to codify, easier to recognize when seen.
  25. USAFChief
    Disagree. First, the decision to try to stretch a double into a triple is 100 percent on the player. The third base coach has zero input into that. Second, "showboating" isn't related to baseball IQ. Baseball IQ lets a player instinctively know whether or not he's likely to make 3rd safely as he approaches 2nd, and further, whether that gamble makes sense.
