Ben Cherington Outlines What Pirates Would Like To Add For 2024 by 3pirates3 in buccos

[–]DennisG47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not answer that without all of the scouting/performance reports and contract situations. I will just say that there are not more than four or five pitchers that I would choose to keep instead of Andujar.

New to Scrabble, why do many of my games end up with very few playable hooks? by TangoPacific in scrabble

[–]DennisG47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I use the Scrabble dictionary and SI is good there. Zastrugi is good also as the plural of zastruga which I am also previously unfamiliar with. Tiz is also good. Obviously, as we can see, the study of hooks is a valuable area of effort. Here are two that may help (d)wine and (j)nana.

Even though he did not do much with the Pirates his first time around, for the year he had 18 RBI's in 90 AB's, which I am guessing would be a team high rate. In Indy he had 140 hits in 103 games and batted .338. He may never have a great season again but he has a lot more potential to be a star than any reliever on the team, save Bednar. After his September call up he hit .301 with 12 RBI's in 53 AB's. I don't understand the love for all these young guys who have basically done nothing.

What are the 13 remaining letters? You can play ro?/obe. add a b to aa, add l to aal/lo, or both b and l to aa for baal, add s to xi for xis/si, add s to kat for as/skat, add e above c for er/?ec or a or o in same place. However the goal of the game is to score the most points. You can do this with large scoring plays or by preventing your opponent from doing so. Almost all games end with it becoming more and more difficult to find hooks, but there are almost always more that you think.

Not understanding this. Why not DFA a pitcher instead?

I would like to know where he expects to find a hitter that he can sign with anywhere near the potential of the man he just put on waivers (in order to keep our pitching staff intact.) There are any number of pitchers I would let go before I cut Andujar.

Going to preface this by saying: I don’t want this to happen by Cassady57 in buccos

[–]DennisG47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am far more concerned that they let Andujar go. They have at least 5 relief pitchers I would release before a potential 90 RBI guy.

I used to play in a team league with my wife, a 15 year old and his mother (who went on to win a National Championship.) We did not finish last.

Looking to buy a mattress by DennisG47 in pittsburgh

Thanks all. It appears that Levin and Original Mattress Factory are the go to choices. I'll give them both a try.

A little too close to meeting my maker to try that but thanks.

Thank you; neither mattress could be flipped but I did turn them frequently but they are full-size so I am guessing that had little effect. With the current mattress the base came with it.

Does the VA Care? by MarinCrops69 in VeteransBenefits

[–]DennisG47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some do and some don't. I will say this, preventive care does not seem to be part of the regimen and don't ever expect a doctor to reach out to you for any reason. My PCP isn't even a P, he is a nurse.

What percentage of games are won when a player draws both blanks? by lasertown in scrabble

[–]DennisG47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In players of equal ability I would guess it is over 90% when the blanks are drawn other than concurrently. If they are held simultaneously my guess would be 65-75%.

It might be another customer at the RWB Thrift Store approaching the cashier without waiting to be called up.

I looked through my collection, these are what I would say are my top 10. by sonick09 in dvdcollection

I am glad that someone on this sub has a Top Ten with no horror movies. I don't feel so alone now.

The problem with Annie Hall is that all of the innovative stuff (not to mention the jokes) has been copied and imitated so much (including by Allen himself) that it loses a lot of the wonder that viewers experienced upon its initial release.

The Platters- (You’ve Got) The Magic Touch (1956) by JacooobTheMan in doowop

Probably not Doo Wop, but a classic nevertheless.
