The site shows Jax ... has that changed?

I don't think Joe Ryan is ready for a call up on Wednesday. It didn't sound like he was completely in his new routine yet after dealing with jet lag and moving, etc. Of the list provided, he's the one I most want to see, but I don't think it will be Wednesday.

I'm not a good armchair GM and can't pretend to know why anyone does anything ... that said, of the list provided, I think Thorpe has more question marks than the other two (serious) options. I don't know or not if he has a future here, and if here or there, as a starter or a BP arm. (I concluded that Burrows was Otto's little way of a joke, perhaps, as I don't think he was a serious option.) So ... that's why I think Thorpe will start on Wednesday ... of the 3 on the list. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being someone not on the Otto's list, too.

Lol @ Burrows ... but I think Seth has it right. They need to determine where/if Lewis Thorpe fits into plans for the next year. I think that Ryan and Strotman already do ... Ryan for sure. So, thorpe it is.

Loved Kepler's hustle and diving slide into 3rd and his expression of passion after getting up!

Just a quibble, but not sure the White Sox were discounted, either. I think some writers ranked them 1st in the division prior to the season

... in his first MLB appearance. Wow! A pitcher throwing a no-hitter in his first major league appearance hasn't happened since 1953. I remember thinking how exciting it was that Eddie Rosario hit a home run on the first pitch in his first at bat in the majors ... well, this is 1000 times that. Or more. I mean ... what would be comparable to this?

I always thought Balfour wasn't a great name for a pitcher, either

Wow ... your mom took you to that game? What an awesome mom you have!

And that's a wrap ... winnah!

wow ... Jeffers now

too little too late ... for the season ... but not for watching some good games ... I guess

He's replaced several in the lineup ... my guess is, in a blowout like this, he's just getting people into the game?

Thanks for all that ... now ... could you tell me why Arraez was hugging Choi when he got on base in the 1st inning?

I do like the score so far ... but ... nothing is a foregone conclusion as it ain't over 'til it's over ...

ah ... I'm only half listening ... per my usual game is on, but I'm not sitting right there so I miss some stuff here and there

What do you mean? Why isn't he sitting on the bench during games while he's recovering/rehabbing?

Um ... some were out sick ... do we really need to rehash that?

Sano just eked out that double ...

I didn't hear ... should have switched to the Tampa feed but wasn't quick enough

yes. well ... lots ... there was Aggie and Tapani ... was there another?

Good game so far tonight ... let's keep it up

Why was Arraez hugging Choi?

This is actually an incorrect conclusion, not borne out in the research data.

As a moderator on this site, please keep your comments to Simmons. This is not the same situation. One didn't affect the health and welfare of others and the same one was blackballed from working again. This is not at all the same thing and is a false equivalence. And we are not going down that rabbit hole. If you want to discuss Kaepernick's situation, go to the Current Affairs club and start a thread. Thanks.
