I don’t want Santander to beat us. The last I heard he was on a ventilator and in traction in the hospital. i’m only following this on game day. I’m away from home. Is he only wearing a hospital gown?

I love Kahnle as *part* of our BP. Not so sure I love him having to be the go to guy.

also may be time for  Dingler be hitting higher in the order. I know catchers don't necessary like hitting high in the order and AJ like to take care of his catchers,, but that's the tax for being a hitter. :classic_laugh:

Six innings is enough for the kid, let’s score some runs and get him a W. I know a W doesn’t mean much for us for any particular pitcher, but apparently it’s a big deal to pitchers themselves or so I’ve heard. I don’t know if this means pitchers are a bit on the dense side or not…

As long as their future earnings potential turns on certain statistics, they will always want to maximize those statistics. Wins is definitely on the way out as a descriptive statistic, but I do think it’s hanging on with some pitchers, at least in perception.

My wife’s family moved here from Sweden, and their name was Anderson and apparently at Ellis Island it was thought there were too damn many Anderson‘s coming to America so they renamed the entire family Just. So it’s been a long line of people since 1870 with that name.

So, “Anderson”, and neither “Andersson” or “Andersen”?

So @chasfh, related to the topic yesterday about balls coming into play - note how catchers getting a new ball throw it to the pitcher while they are still holding the old one and don't toss the old one away until after the throw?  I'm trying think if I'd ever paid attention to that but my impression of my memory is that it wasn't done that way back in the day.

I never asked her for a spelling. Apparently there were too damn many with anything close to that name coming to America.

I’ve never noticed that.
