Beef Supreme

Are these numbers league-wide? Is there a noticeable difference between the NL and the AL?

Miami announcers wrongly blamed Galvis. Zimmerman has to be aware. but a smart, engaged left fielder has the play right in front of him and should haul ass to 3B.

It has been argues that there is far more strategy to be considered when using the DH because so many moves are automatic when pitchers are in the batting order.

Neither player should be getting semi-regular playing time at SS. If they are the options, they need to keep trotting Galvis out there regardless of how deep of a slump he may be in. And if he goes on the DL, play Martin there for a week or two

Frankel used to be the name of a Baltimore-area Cadillac dealer.

Catching foul tips is pure luck.

Is that actually a skill?

I forgot what the date was...

Did you just get your card, based on your new avatar?

Valaika is incapable of playing SS at then MLB level. I remember a him coming in on a 3-hopper hit straight to him, yet he couldn't throw out the runner on a clean exchange. That's anecdotal, sure, but I can't remember any shortstop being so slow in his normal exchange that a runner could beat out a throw on a routine play. FTR, in 2020 he was -25 Rdrs in a mere 145 innings. I know you are a big fan and supporter of Valaika, but neither stats nor the eye test deem him a competent shortstop. Whoever spells Galvis, it shouldn't be Valaika unless he is the absolute last possible SS on the bench.

Galvis will play just about every day regardless of how he is hitting. Who else are you going to give semi-regular playing time to at SS when his bat is cold?

Just a matter of time before they tack on a transaction fee surcharge for on-site ticket purchases like Rams Head Live has done (though Rams Head Live claims on its website they do not currently add surcharges for on-site ticket purchases.)

Thanks man. I actually did look up the box score. But then got distracted before I could post.

That had to have been scored a Wild Pitch, not a Passed Ball. Right?

You shouldn't be tagging up there in the first place - too shallow.

More terrible baserunning. Poor fundamentals.

Right, you can't tag up and score. but you need to be halfway home to ensure you either score if it drops of get back safely if caught. Franco effed up huge.

Why is LeBlanc "not available?"

You can exhale now. Tonight's win ensured they won't lose 100.

Get him 600 PAs -- somewhere, anywhere.

The season is a grind. And I wonder if the grind hasn't started grinding on him already.

No MLB game should ever be scheduled for seven innings. (Spring Training, notwithstanding.)

Wish i had edited your original comment because I think Kevin Brown is pretty good.

I used to have plastic bins used for shipping products to Rite Aid. For some reason these particular plastic bins had written in magic marker on their sides, "Not In Plano." Never figured out why.
