No. We traded them 78 or whatever.

I’ve been out this week, so I may have missed some things. But I see that Travis Sykora is skipping the FCL and will pitch for Fredericksburg.

The thing from this that sticks out is that Charlotte is included in its limited, targeted release. North Carolina is definitely in play.

I saw video of him working out. Not too concerned about him.

White Todd is not endearing himself to this judge. ”There’s two systems of justice in this courtroom? That’s what you’re saying”

Shout out to @Cooked Crackfor the Adam Klasfeld recommendation. IMO, he has the best play by play.

Conroy: We are not yet seeking an incarceratory penalty.

They are at home helping Baron get ready for finals.

I mean, how entertaining was that fourth quarter? Wow.

Yeah, probably will not recover from that. Doubt he hits another.

I read where Ruiz has lost 18-20 lbs with the flu. After not going after Hoskins, I was hoping they’d carry a third catcher and have Ruiz DH and Adams play 1B some. Keep them from getting run ragged behind the plate.

Yeah, not the dumbest thing I’ve heard ever, but I have something similar with coworkers. This was on the eve of the Obama/Romney election. My colleague graduated from an Ivy and had a CPA. He wanted to debate “ideas” and not “personalities”- this was after the Romney remark about freeloaders not paying taxes. We were talking about the income tax structure. Reminder this is a CPA, he didn’t understand the progressive nature of our income tax system. When I asked him, all things equal, does someone at the low end of the 25% bracket take home less than the person at the top end of the 22% bracket. (Bracket % are made up, can’t remember what they were exactly at the time.) In other words, did he think one’s income is ALL taxed at the highest percentage. He swore up and down that it was. He had his sidekick join in and laugh at me. “I would love it if it was designed the way you describe.” I told them it was. Prove it. Look at the IRS webpage Fake news. Okay. Phone a friend. So he called his personal account and said that he was trying to clear up a debate. He got an answer he did not like and mopingly went back to perusing the Drudge Report.

Because it will be better for the organization to have control over him in his age 26 season instead of burning one of his six seasons floundering. He’s had under 100 PAs in AAA. Most of them were last year when he had a sub .800 OPS.

So what do you do with Holliday? Keep riding him out there, or do you send him back down? It’s unlikely that he can put up numbers to win ROY at this point. You can gain an extra year of control by sending down.

As I understand it, the jury has been seated. Do opening arguments start today?
