lol at a ground ball base hit off of a position player in a blowout being a highlight and evidence of a strong impression. That said, I like Norby and wish him the best.

Harriet Beecher Stowers FawltyS Towers

Right now, he’d be a free agent at 27 years old (2030). If he stays healthy and keeps pitching like this, he’ll command a MONSTER contract. So, I could see them buying out his arbitration years. But I’d think take a big offer to buy out any FA years.

This made me think of the silver surfer. To me, my board!

Jakob Marsee is our everyday CF. I’m not buying that we have a boatload of guys who could replace Stowers. At best, that remains to be seen.

Thank you. Just glad it’s not an injury.

Why did Max come out?

Marsee is still really bad. Swap him in AAA for one of Lewis, Cam, or Kemp and hope you can get something out of CF.

I hated it at the time because Leo is a bad hitter, and that spot might come up again, since it was a tied game and only the 7th. Ugh

Against LHP, bad righties are still worse than good lefties.

I wonder if it’s so he can pitch in the All-Star Game. Did anyone report on the reason?

Did Stowers get thrown out at third before Lopez crossed the plate? I saw the play in game cast and figured that was it.

They actually understand the team and its needs!

Been thinking this for a bit now. The GIDP against the position player who was pitching put the exclamation point on it.

I would think the extra bag is only allowed for a batter running to first on what isn’t otherwise a dead ball, eg a ball in play or a third strike not caught by the catcher

Gracilis? De nada!

Eury out two months, caramba!

Thanks, rmc. Heavy losses how, I wonder? Would love to know the breakdown and how it compares to other franchises. Curious especially how much in dividends/salary Sherman pays himself.

That sounds like a really dumb proposal. Maybe a significant penalty for underspending could save it, but is hard to imagine the league imposing a $50M+ penalty.

Add Hernandez. Not a single plus tool amongst them. 3 guys who are functionally dead weight.

They are so infuriating to watch sometimes. How many times have they run themselves out of innings. Ugh.

I have a great idea — let’s keep putting Turdi in in high-leverage situations. He’s pathetic.

Hernandez is so bad at baseball

Heroberto!

He just finished a stretch where he retired 27 straight batters, the length of a perfect game, so I’d say that’s pretty solid!
