    I forgot this was a day game. And when I saw the score? Well, nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition. Later

    Max gave up back to back doubles, but is winning 3-1 courtesy of a 3 run homer off the bat of (DH) Francisco Alvarez. Rehabbing Jim McCann is catching Max. Later

    Max Scherzer started for the Ponies tonight. Struck out the side and walked one in his first inning. Later

The question still stands, why would they have both join the team if they were only going to activate one? Later There are circumstances where you don't know if you'll have a roster spot available or not. In such circumstances (three men on baby watch, for instance), you might bring in a player while being unsure about whether you're going to activate him. Or, sometimes, you simply get a guy in town even though he won't be activated for a day or two, perhaps to catch the team charter to Houston.

    If they were going to bring up Dom, why did they bring up Palka a day before Dom and then not activate him? Dom was down longer then ten days, so it isn't a CBA issue. Later

He's up to 100 pitches. Is there warmup action in the bullpen? (I'm working, and following the game on my PC) Later

    =roger_that post_id=96737 time=1655748083 user_id=128] Another infield hit for the Marlins! A true Baltimore chop. Nothing to be done, though Peterson gave it a shot.

    =roger_that post_id=96716 time=1655745298 user_id=128] E-5 to start the day. Escobar's 7th of the season. Seems a lot?

    This still boils down to your assertion that a MLB pitcher can throw strikes any time he wants. It was either Jim Brosnan (The Long Season) or Jim Bouton (Ball Four) who wrote, "Good control is the ability to consistently throw a pitch that breaks eight inches into a six inch square." (The more I re-read that, I think it was Brosnan.) But control is not a consistent thing. The ball doesn't feel right. The mound hasn't been manicured. Your crotch itches. You had an argument with your wife. Tom Seaver's favorite was "My mechanics weren't right". Just because you think someone reaching the majors should have the ability to control his pitches doesn't mean he can do it. And "stuff" and control don't always bless the same pitcher, especially young ones. To answer your question, I don't think of anyone on the roster who fits your decription. Later

    When has the possibility of bad taste stopped us before? (j/k) Buck said that is all he could say legally. Is the law involved - criminal or civil? Wide spectrum there- from traffic accident/ fender bender to a felony. There are probably more possibilities than can be put in a poll. Later

    That was all they posted. Everyone's thought process is different. My take on it is that a very good baserunner has the ability to take in the situation (such as where the ball is hit, placement of the defenders, ability of the defenders, etc.) and can process that information is a very short period of time to determine whether he should run. We can't know what, and the speed with which, it went through his mind that resulted in his decision. (We can only guess.) We can just see the result. Later
