Now that's a nice 'dig-up' from yester-year my friend......

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

What he'd hit last year?....Because he sucked last year he gets a pass on this year?

Not a pass, but improvements should be recognized.

 

[Kelleyman]

Nice hit for Gallo Broken bat power?

 

[DT LUNA]

Ugly win but a win.

2018 Odor with the GW hit.

Right. His approach right now is like night and day to what it was the 1st half of the year. Glad to see it. Glad to see Profar hitting the ball with authority the last few weeks. He was stagnant for a short time but that happens. And I really like him at the corner positions best.

Longtime umpire Joe West moved into second place all-time on Wednesday among MLB umpires when he worked his 5,164th game, and the city that hosted him when he reached the milestone had a fantastic way of celebrating it.

West dined at Manny’s Steakhouse in Minneapolis earlier this week, and the restaurant had a custom menu made for him. It was all braille.

That just shows you the problem with the umpire's union if he has been allowed to ump that long.

Calhoun appears to be blocked in the OF and DH. Agree on the others.

Ya see, I think exactly the same thing, but seems like every year he's in the pos season, and that's with the approval of the clubs involved. At least I think that's true.

Did you leave the "t" off on purpose for post.

he will get time as you play those you want a long hard look at. and so will Heineman. it's evaluation time

With Gallo and Mazara at the COF it seems likely Calhoun won't need much time not to mention he has already gotten playing time. Seems to me he will be a bench player or traded at some point. imo
