I suppose it has to figure into the overall calculus. If you know you have the guy for 'X' years and then will likely lose him, you don't want to bring him up until you are pretty sure he is ready to hit the ground running because you can't get a first year when he may scuffle or only play part time back at the other end when he may be an all-star. I'd say that consideration probably has to trump any of the carrots the league has set out for bringing guys up earlier. So maybe you offer the player a chance to come up earlier if he'll give you back a year or so at the other end.

The geography isn't so relevant to the game play, but it still is to the marketing. Every team wants its geography to guarantee it a nice chuck of captive audience population to sell to - and that's a bigger issue for Baseball because of so much media rights money being local. Indy probably gets a more equal deal on TV money from network basketball rights than it would be able to from local baseball TV rights.

Good luck to him if he does get claimed. He did everything they asked him too, the bat just never got there. Probably be a coach one day.

what's a team mate to do? He ( or Hinch? ) put himself back on it after they made a clean rescue. 🔥🧯🎇

white flag inning

well THAT didn't help

I'd take the opposite view. Probably a bridge too far to have sent Jack back out there this inning at all.. Hinch got a little gready there. OTOH, Jones need to make that out. Holton gave up a ground ball that's an easy out with the IF at normal depth.

Outfield D a day late and dollar short today.

Garcia with the tip makes sure the LF can't get the ball in time to have a play on Dingler. the old line about 'Luck' and 'Good' comes to mind.

and they get Jack off the hook.

little things. Riley didn't take the best route on that ball. If he catches it Jack is out of the inning clean.

I'm waiting to see what will happen when some school eventually wants to sell their team.

He was DFA'd, so he's off the roster. He could be claimed by another team or traded (both seem unlikely). If he clears waivers (quite possible) and I read Ed's spreadsheet correctly he can't refuse assignment, to he could end up back with the Hens or be released.

Also possible the event he is working may have been set up a long time ago - e.g - last year.

team is catching the ball exceptionally well also. McKinstry playing better SS that I thought he could. Fears about Gleyber being a liability at 2B have dissolved, Colt suddenly a solid 3B, Torkelson has pushed himself to +4 R(drs) and leads the league in assists, Javy making Parker's absence sad but not significant.

You can isolate an arbitrary section of a player's game log by any sortable column and the extracted table will give you the split totals. If you go to the Schedule and results page for the team, you can pick out any number of rows and it will give you a new table with just those rows but it doesn't do any stats on the extracted team table.

OTOH, betting on a good outing from Paddock is probably not a wise use of your lunch money.

there will probably be a reduction in non-revenue sport scholarships - from the student perspective that could actually change the feel of Athletics on Campus as much as anything. OTOH, as was pointed out by an Atlantic writer, using income generated largely by poor black athletes to give scholarships to mostly upper middle class white swimmers and lacross players is probably not equitable social policy once you realize that that's how the money in the old system was flowing.

has to be a misprint, I don't believe he ever had 10 triples either.....

Will all due respect to Hinch's R/L matchup calculations, Lange could have have walked two guys in the 7th as well as Sommers.

the Tigers scoring has increased geometrically each inning they've scored. They'll be due to score 8 next.

Torkelson walks on stirke 2.

Zach is taking down the Royal solo.

I guess don't see why government activity in the market would bother Bernie. If this had been any President other than Trump why would Bernie's support of this kind of move surprise anyone?

way to drain the heart out the them boys...
