Tauchman is gone

Posted by JM at 5:12 PM

Calf strain, 6 to 8 weeks.

Kay is all upset because "Do you really want Clint Frazier defensively in left field?"

Yes. Yes, Fatboy, I do.

Alphonso said...: No JM, you don't.

Let Maybin play.; September 9, 2019 at 5:28 PM
JM said...: Rufus, I was too drunk to see you on the TV box. I mean, I probably saw you but didn't remember it was you and don't remember if I did see you.

I need a drink.; September 9, 2019 at 5:29 PM
JM said...: Maybin can't hit with that wrist. Besides, Alphonso, I've been saying for months that left is Frazier's field and Boone should never play him in right, which he did over and over until he cracked.

He played left the other day and was fine. Also nailed a guy at the plate. His defense is easily as good as Stanton's, who Kay wants back to play left. That makes no sense to me.; September 9, 2019 at 5:33 PM
Alphonso said...: Wait a minute JM, we should drink together. Then, we could figure it all out. Crown Royal? Gentleman jack?

I saw the Frazier game where he played LF and threw the dude out on a rope. I also saw him take a poor angle to that ball he missed at the wall, and nearly re-concussed himself.

I agree that LF is his place. I agree that Stanton should remain inactive.

And I gather that Maybin's wrist is worse than I thought.

Losing Mike is a big deal; he hit; he played extraordinary defense, he had long at bats, and he could run. What a shame.; September 9, 2019 at 5:47 PM
JM said...: Yep. This is a big loss. I'll go for a Templeton, or even Old Overholt. But I may be fine with Crown Royal. I can't recall the last time I tried it. Which means if I did try it, I liked it a lot.

If Stanton doesn't make it back, we don't have much choice. Frazier or Wade. Offense or defense.

Sophie's choice.; September 9, 2019 at 5:54 PM
13bit said...: We don't want Stanton back.; September 9, 2019 at 5:56 PM
JM said...: No, we don't.

Can Torres play left?; September 9, 2019 at 6:06 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: JM,

You were not drunker than me.

As for the whiskey tasting, I'd recommend including Bulleit Rye and Blanton's bourbon. They are very tasty options, even if you prefer the others.; September 9, 2019 at 6:13 PM
Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...: I just checked the line up. Maybin is in left. Fucking cross burning gingerists.; September 9, 2019 at 6:22 PM
JM said...: Incredible.

Rufus, I know Bulleit intimately. Blanton's, no.

I'm also very well acquainted with Michter's, Rittenhouse, Redemption, and Woodford. All fine people.; September 9, 2019 at 6:43 PM
Leinstery said...: I don't want to see Frazier with a glove; September 9, 2019 at 6:48 PM
JM said...: Is Stanton better?

I don't remember a lot of complaints when Frazier was playing earlier in the year until that terrible game on ESPN. Maybe I've forgotten.

And he's spent time working on his defense. So what if he's not a Gold Glove, he's serviceable. And he can hit. A lot.

Who was the guy we had 20 years ago, played right when he played, nowhere near a great fielder, but hit and somehow we won a ton? And late career Beltran? Wasn't he a minus in defense? I have a vague memory... could be wrong.; September 9, 2019 at 7:05 PM
JM said...: Not talking about Paulie, someone else.

Years of drinking will do this to you, kids. Be forewarned.; September 9, 2019 at 7:07 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Suzyn just said it was a tear in the calf muscle. Not just a strain. A fucking tear. He was running around in the outfield and he tore his calf?? What are they juicing with now? Fuming sulphuric acid??

Fuck you Hal.; September 9, 2019 at 7:26 PM
JM said...: John and Suzyn were just discussing left field. Maybin and Wade. Stanton, to keep Encarnacion as DH, with Maybin in for defense late.

Frazier's name wasn't even mentioned. A starting outfielder earlier this year, now a benchwarmer. If he's lucky.

Why the fuck didn't they just trade the poor guy? This is torture. If he isn't in the conversation at this point, he never will be.; September 9, 2019 at 7:40 PM
13bit said...: Can we just say that the "tear in the muscle" thing is fake news and dial it back a bit? I'm sure he's doing laps right now. Nothing to see here. Move along...; September 9, 2019 at 7:42 PM
JM said...: And Winnie... exactly. Wtf is going on with these guys? I used to deliver furniture and paint houses when I was a youngster. Can you imagine the injuries these guys would have doing that? They tear, pull, and destroy muscles by jigging in the outfield or swinging a bat. How is that even possible?; September 9, 2019 at 7:43 PM
JM said...: Jogging; September 9, 2019 at 7:44 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I think you're thinking of Abreu. Who everybody got mad at because he didn't run into walls a lot. All he had instead was near-HOF career.; September 9, 2019 at 7:44 PM
JM said...: I don't think it was him. Ah, well.; September 9, 2019 at 7:58 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: JM,

That not-Paulie guy may have been good, but he definitely wasn't clutch. Especially in the fall months. Because there is no such thing as clutch.

Also, try Blanton's sometime. Has a horse stopper. Unfortunately, the Chinese have discovered it, so the price is higher than it used to be.; September 9, 2019 at 8:00 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Suzyn and Joe Castiglione are pretty good.

And did you know the Hebrew Home is just like a college campus? Without the chemo.

Castiglione is the *only* Carmine announcer that I will listen to. Just plays it straight, even though you know he is rooting for his team.; September 9, 2019 at 8:26 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: The Master is doing an inning with the Ketchups radio team, and the Ketchups' sad, sad hollow broadcaster is with Suzyn!? What sort of unholy broadcast swapping is going on!? What's next a key party between NESN and YES!? Oh gawd! Who would get O'Neill???

Fuck you Hal.; September 9, 2019 at 8:32 PM
JM said...: Romie my homie?; September 9, 2019 at 8:39 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Romiy? My homey?

...

What the unholy Hebrew Home John? What the fuck??

Fuck you Hal?; September 9, 2019 at 8:41 PM
JM said...: Indian Point is like a college campus. But with radiation.; September 9, 2019 at 8:47 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: How is radiation not a welcome part of any college campus? I remember warming my hands over the glowing corium lava pool at homecoming! Such excitement. I miss my fingers, but still!

O' fuck you Hallllll !!; September 9, 2019 at 8:54 PM
Mike Fan Cessa said...: Maple H. Newhart says "G...goodbye".; September 9, 2019 at 8:57 PM
Anonymous said...: IT IS REALLY OUTRAGEOUS THE WAY THE YANKEE BRASS IS TREATING FRAZIER.

I MEAN, HE LITERALLY WAS HELPING US WIN GAMES WITH HIS CLUTCH HITS, AND HUSTLE.

THEN HE HAD THE BOSTON GAME WITH THE ERRORS ON NATIONAL TV, AND I GUESS, THE FINAL STRAW, THE INTERVIEW STARE DOWN WITH THE REPORTER.

WE SURE KNOW HOW TO MENTALLY CRUSH OUR OWN PROSPECTS.

....BUT THE REAL TRAGEDY HERE IS WE CAN REALLY USE HIS BAT FROM HERE ON IN, INCLUDING THE PLAYOFFS, AND I DON'T THINK WE ARE EVEN GOING TO CARRY HIM ON THE ROSTER.

I RATHER HAVE HIS BAT MORE THAN STANTON'S ANY DAY OF THE WEEK COME PLAYOFF TIME.

ONE WILL AT LEAST MAKE CONTACT IN A BIG SPOT, THE OTHER WON'T, AND THEY'RE BOTH SHITTY FIELDERS.

FROM HERE ON IN, GIVE ME CLINT, NOT STANTON.; September 9, 2019 at 9:07 PM
Austria's Only Baseball Fan said...: Wait… wait a minute. My English is pretty good, but I did just understand that Tauchmann will be out for six to eight seeks, but that Sabathia will start in Detroit in a few days? PLEASE tell me I misunderstood this!; September 9, 2019 at 9:09 PM
JM said...: Nein. You heard correct.; September 9, 2019 at 9:11 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Winnie,

Don't dis Castiglione. Would you rather father of the year RemyMartin?

I actually think Castiglione is a pretty dang good announcer.

As for radiation, I prefer direct gamma or the slowly emitting of old friend Cobalt60.

JM,

Before Friday's game, sat at the Cask 'n Flagon (aka toy 'r us for racist townie assholes except when the Yankees are in town) next to two guys from Peekskill. They didn't have any *visible* extra appendages.

Don't forget, I used to work on nuclear reactors. When I drank a LOT more.

John and Suzyn are now advocating for CC in the bullpen. No mention of whether he will be the designated "hitter".; September 9, 2019 at 9:13 PM
JM said...: The Cardinal's Appeal allows the Church in New York to do the work of Jesus.

I thought Montero was out of baseball?; September 9, 2019 at 9:15 PM
JM said...: Rufus, nuclear power is actually great. No carbon emissions, better air quality, energy independence. But when something goes wrong, holy crap, does it go wrong.

Gio Urshela the most happy fella!; September 9, 2019 at 9:17 PM
JM said...: Besides, A-Rod parked a lot of A-bombs, and no bad effects.; September 9, 2019 at 9:19 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Castiglione could be a giant of the field and still not be worthy of sniffing The Master's farts!! UNWORTHY!!! UNWORTHY!!!

FYH!!!; September 9, 2019 at 9:27 PM
JM said...: The ball is juiced and the seams are lower this year. So these borderline players genius Cashman found who are hitting homers like crazy...you think they do this again if MLB gets the balls back to normal? You think the Twins hit 280 homers next year?

If the ball goes back to normal, do these guys go back too? Boot, Urshela, Ford, Tauchman, Maybin... how many other players and teams come back to earth?

Just saying. And do pitchers like Tanaka immediately improve?; September 9, 2019 at 9:27 PM
JM said...: Voit, not Boot; September 9, 2019 at 9:28 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: JM,

Loved working on submarines. Met a lot of great people doing it and your tax dollars put me up in Honolulu for a year. It should be the template for electricity here (like in France), but competition with the design companies make each unit a unique design. STUPID, stupid, stupid. The navy has high skool gradumerates operating them. They can do it because they have a standard design, standard training, SOPs, etc., etc. Sort of the Southwest Airlines for nukes. I have purchase two houses within the evacuation zone of power plants (Rowe and Seabrook). I fear traffic more than them.; September 9, 2019 at 9:30 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Winnie,

As someone who is FORCED to listen to ketchup announcers, Castiglione is by far the best of the lot.; September 9, 2019 at 9:32 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: JM,

The baseball suits suck for making adapting to a changing ball -- A FUCKING CHANGING BALL FOR CHRIST'S SAKE -- part of the equation. Makes me want to drop a little polonium into their morning latte's.; September 9, 2019 at 9:34 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I'm getting a bit over-excited. And WHY SHOULDN'T I BE!?!?! AUSTIN ROMINE IS HITTING .275 RIGHT NOW! HE SHOULD KISS THOSE SUPER ROUNDLOWSEAMEDBASEBALLSFULLONTHELIPSWHATISGOINGONWHAWHAWHHHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay. Okay...

JM said...: Winnie, cut back on the meth. It'll kill ya.

And Romine. Add him to the list of suddenly terrific hitters.; September 9, 2019 at 9:47 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Meth is like mother's milk to some. Let it flow like cheap wine at a Knights of Columbus cook out!

Boom Boom Maybin.; September 9, 2019 at 10:12 PM

13bit said...: Boston, eat shit and die.

I know, this means nothing in the grand scheme of things. I'm holding my balls in check until the last out of the World Series, IF we make it that far, but this is a good night.

Bend over and take it like a man, Boston.; September 9, 2019 at 10:42 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: "Boston, eat shit and die."

That needs a 'motherfuckers' after it. As in:

Boston, eat shit and die, motherfuckers!; September 9, 2019 at 10:46 PM

Back to "the guy we had 20 years ago, played right when he played, nowhere near a great fielder, but hit and somehow we won a ton" -- was it Shane Spencer? Or, if it was 15 years ago, it was Sheffield.; September 10, 2019 at 7:38 AM
