So that adds a different, subjective standard: How long was the tag on for? Too long? How many Mississippis before the tag becomes void?

The whole arc of new baseball rules has been to reduce subjectivity and make decisions based on bright-line standards. And I agree with that approach for baseball (which is why I look forward to 100% roboumps for ball/strike calls).

I believe this is only the second game started for Caballero since Lombard arrived. is that correct? anyone?

related, I believe he has had 4 ABs since 8/3 until today

Cabby did clearly get a bit exposed as a nearly full time starter, but I feel like he is way too valuable to get 1 or 2 starts in 10 days

as I said yesterday, I am starting him over Jazz or McMahon (mostly Jazz for me) vs EVERY LHP

I love Lombard cutting in front of Chisholm on that grounder. See Jazz? That's how you play sound, aggressive defense.

I'm fond of Yankee pitchers who pile up strikeouts

Lombard gets the Cold Stone Creamery Award for a great scoup.

I meant like Russian roulette -- self inflicted

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
