This definitely plays. When I was working in refineries the mothership had a strict rule that you couldn't take more than 2 weeks away at one time. I told them I was going 12000 miles away and would gone for three weeks. There wasn't much they could do. I'm sure it went into the corporate memory banks as something to ding me for later but at that particular time they needed me more than I needed them. I tried to keep myself in jobs I enjoyed but I was never a live to work person. But it's a piece of advice I would give to any young worker - don't just work - take every opportunity to expand your skill set and make it more valuable because not only will it make the job more interesting, it's something that can give you leverage later.

that's a good point. It certainly wouldn't be unusual to to send the starter ahead coming off the DH. I wasn't watching but did anyone see him on the bench?

You haven't. It was deliberate - the idea was to stay out of FLA during the summer monsoon.

he's a more than average streaky hitter. He'll win a game all by himself and then disappear for several games.

bullpen too short for many extra inning games. But what shouldn't be lost in all the noise at the end is that Holton is either broken or just coming down to earth after a season last year playing over his head. Either way, those are innings we don't have a replacement for if he can't pick it up.

that's about a wrap

the part that sucks is that if they were going to lose better to have done it at 9pm

I think Lee might have been a good idea....

The rare Hinch IBB

not gonna matter much if Hurter doesn't get some outs

even the Peeples Republic of Ann Arbor city workers didn't get the day off.

ground crew back on the field 10:10 target

yup - it's not like it's 1960, they knew, or should have known, exactly how close it was before starting the bottom half.

yeah - if Robertson isn't exactly the player they are willing to go hard after we need a new FO.

its just another form of gaslighting.

Red Bird IV busy filing amended flight plans.

that has been the objective

so who is left? Hurter, Hanifee?

it's gonna rain.

I'll feel bad if we contribute to Kelly getting fired as manager, but AJ can always bring him back on the staff here.....and there is no crying in baseball.

jake definitely plays better after he is dissed here. 🤷‍♂️

Hernandez probably looked good because IIRC, he faced 4 right hand hitters. He problem has been that he is being torched by lefthanders - 990 OPS against. He's been decent against RHB (715 OPS against). A pitcher with platoon splits like that is not going to be so attractive with the 3 hitter rule. I assume the brain trust has something in mind for him to throw to LHB.

I'm sure it didn't help his attitude today when in commenting on the benching ESPN noted that Nick is -137 Rdrs for his career. 😳

"Original Intent" only and all.
