The terminology refers to the minimum. You remove a guy or not any time after the minimum has run, but not before. The idea to enforce a minimum is so teams don't play roster games trying to stash someone who isn't really injured or other abuses. The relatively long minimum means you aren't going to put the guy on the list unless you are pretty sure you really can't use him for a couple of weeks. The only shorter period allowed is the relatively recent rule for concussions. You get a 7 day minimum there but entering and leaving concussion protocol has its own separate set of rules.

Malloy is a unicorn - can't hit a lick but walks his way to 390 OBP. You'd think that would eventually come to an end with pitchers refusing to walk him - but it hasn't happened yet. As it stands, as long as they keep walking him, he's pretty valuable. Keith is getting to be the questionable one at this point. He's at 66 AB compared to Riley's 107 - IOW he's down to playing half time - and actually less than that more recently. It's one thing if they were committed to letting him play through his problems, but you can't have him sitting - he's got to play. If not here then in the other place.

so - just for the sake of hypothetical argument lets assume Trump can't/doesn't salvage his voters from their buyer's remorse and isn't able to completely collapse the republic. What happens to his voters politically? Do they sour on the political system and stop voting? Will they be up for a new hero? What I don't think will happen is they start voting D. The best I think we can hope for is the 1st: Any Dem hope of recovering to a majority will be in MAGA burnout and a smaller electorate.

I would guess they originally thought that Maeda and Jobe might split some starts, but with Kenta pretty hopeless maybe that does become Cobb for a while - until they see how effective he is or he can win a starting spot for himself.

apparently

the tendency Skubal has to fight is getting too predictable. The FB and Change are so good he tends to lock in, but you want guys who think about sitting on a change-up to know the next off-speed they get might still be something else.

Silly me, a few years ago we had new panel put in but since everything in a house was getting more efficient at that point, I saw no reason to upgrade the incoming service. I have 100A and I could run a class II 7.5kW charger as long as I didn't kick the oven into 'fast preheat' while the AC was running......🙄. I'm hoping I can get a service upgrade and have the charger breakered separately and run direct to the garage - then the existing panel could stay.

except in '84 they were going undefeated on the road.

Best overall start since 2015, when they also got to 17-10

yup - they only got to 12-4 in '84.

America 2025: N.o..C.l.a.s.s It's a thing that can be overdone - but some is *always* better than none.

Baez now elevated to late inning defensive specialist - in CF.

Dirk's description of Keith not getting his bottom half out in front of his upper body was a good bit - it put me in mind of Victor Reyes, who had the same issue but an order of magnitude worse - that 6'5" 200lb frame couldn't generate any consistent power because he never learned to get his hips out in front of his swing.

Riley gets BaBIP'd

he needs to keep confidence that he can reach the seats to right because he is seeing a lot of outside pitching and just going to right gives him better odds than trying to turn around an outside pitch.

trump has someone new writing for him. You can tell because: a) this is too long to be a normal Trump post b) the vocabulary is several steps above the normal Trump post c) it's too logical to be a normal Trump post. d) and the slam dunk: there is actual concern expressed for people other than Trump.

This. Sat is Montero's scheduled day to pitch and since it's now a DH it's a free call-up.

the only thing surprising to me is that they didn't segregate the revenue sports - the main direction seems like the inevitable future.

True - on the other hand, the stability of that control is what got them through the crash when the General ended belly up.

MSU and WSU, our two other independently governed UNIs MIA so far.

or you can buy a Mustang Mach E (standard range) and you get the much safer LFP battery system.

law of unintended consequences.

Unless he really eclipses everyone else on the staff, he'll just go to the BP for the post-season. In fact with this staff probably two starters go to the pen.

Payoff line in story: " idealism doesn’t always survive contact with a price tag." and I'm pretty sure you could replace "doesn't always" with "never" with no significant loss of accuracy.

>How can an error count against the pitcher's record when it's made by a player fielding and not by a player pitching? are you asking logically or practically? Practically you do it by changing the scoring rule. 😉 Whether it's logical is clearly in the eye of the beholder. >And how can it can called an earned run against the pitcher when it is not credited as a earned hit for the hitter? But there is no hard and fast connection between hits and earned runs now. The hit that scores a run isn't necessarily the play when the error occurs. That later hitter still gets his hit whether the run is ultimately ruled earned or not. And as it is, there may or may not ever be any earned or unearned run after a hitter doesn't get his hit after reaching on an error. I don't particularly have a dog in this issue, - I can see it either way, but I don't think changing it would be a big deal either. That said, I don't see much chance it actually does change so we are just spitballing about it anyway.
