I am SO glad we never traded Westburg

Kjerstad looked great today. He had tough plays and did very well

Now... if he could just barrel up a ball

Just popped into the game thread to say... ... Baumann sucks (but I'll take the DP)

I'd still add a starter if the price is right. IMO the priority is a closer, but that might be expensive.

Have to say... I'm surprised and impressed with Kjerstad's defense. IMO he's doing a good job in LF today.

His career was on a downward trajectory? in 1998 he had 48 doubles, 48 HRs, 152 RBIs and a 1055 OPS

What was the time from 1st to home on that play? How fast was he running? (I don't know where to look that up)

I think you're overthinking it. IIRC there were like 3-4 players (Holliday, Jones, Johnson, Green?) that could conceivably have been chosen 1:1. Elias took who he thought was the best player.

Just imagine if we had an actual closer to anchor it all on the back end.

And another error, 9 so far in 37 games

I'll just take the politician's path.... I misspoke. Perhaps a better question would have been... Is Stowers likely to do better against LHs than Mullins? Perhaps a 700 OPS or better?

Does Stowers has good reverse splits? I hate having Kjerstad as the odd man out, but what about playing Hays/Stowers against LH and Mullins/Cowser against RHs. If Mullins continues to slump could Cowser also share time in CF?

I miss Mel Proctor and John Lowenstein

She's great at what she does for MASN Except call play by play

And that is why outfielders have gloves the size of a tarp.

Oh I can endure a lot. But there are lines that are crossed sometimes.

Classy

And an off day tomorrow

You knew he was going to hit a soft seeing eye grounder up the middle?

The last one was a little flair into CF.

And that's the problem. You think a lot more of yourself than you should, and a lot more or Roy's place on the Hangout than you should. EDIT: I meant a "Lot LESS" of Roy's place... blame the wine.

IMO that isn't enough of a consequence.

For balls and strikes? Are there any consequences for poor performance?

I think the primary problem is that there are no consequences for a sucky umpire.
