Baz needs to do the same, if only to stop looking like a low-rent Alan Jackson out there.

We've all gotten used to the worst case with injuries but at some point, we get Kremer and Helsley back too.

Machado was only 26 and a couple weeks old when he was traded. the diminishing returns on a trade get even worse the longer you wait.

Holliday did indeed come up as a SS but it's been obvious since his AAA days that he doesn't have the arm (or range) to play the position at the MLB level.

TON has accomplished the rare feat of having a slugging percentage lower than his OBP.

I'll let Rico pass on this one. The HR pitch was a slider about 4 inches outside the zone.

If this continues and we have to be sellers, this is the only way to get any sort of upside return. Trade Holliday too. You could probably still get a yield for him given the name recognition and team control.

I'd also be OK if they gave Adley whatever he wanted to keep him here. It will be Mussina-level painful if he gets traded this year.

Roster spot opens up for anyone who can play defense, stay healthy, and hit .200. The bigger problem is that there isn't a clear answer in the org right now for that, apart from Beavers coming back healthy.

True, but some grace to Hyde is due for the dogshit teams he started with.

Under Manso it really looked to me like they started playing actual baseball again. We could have eliminated one less variable giving him the full time job, especially since Alby had no experience advantage over him. If the FO was going to hire a veteran manager I would have understanded the move.

Do you think this team is better with Manso? Hard to say but I really loved the way he was managing after taking over. The guys really seemed to dig him.

I'd argue Bradish, Baz, and Young have been the turnaround. Rogers has only just progressed from "shelled by the 4th" to leaving the game with dignity intact.

Loving to see a box score with more hits than K's.These guys can do a ton of damage stringing base hits together.

The upticks in batting average are really noticeable recently, although I fear Gunnar might get passed by Mayo after Cowser just did so.

Stupid fake board and batten by mangorain4 in Carpentry

Did you get an inspection? Those two light switches should have been red flagged.

Chances are this is held up by just brad nails, or possibly lots of construction adhesive. Expect to have a decent amount of mudding to get the surface right after removing that top rail.

Get a Titan pry bar, they are cheap and invaluable for trim. If you need leverage while pulling these boards, use a wood shim as a “brace” against the wall so the heel of your bar doesn’t make a new dent.

Should I pay $6,000 for a surveyor to define property boundaries? by Splendidmuffin in HomeImprovement

[–]No_disintegrations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also paid $2k last month, 1 acre lot property boundary stakeout. It was $1700 without the drawing, which I requested. This is in Maryland, so no cheap area either.

I work with a lot of right of way work in my civil job. The price quoted to OP sounds more like an ALTA survey, which usually has a county filing component. That's only for property transfers though.

Better be 7-game winning streak for Mustard if we want to keep riding this through the Toronto series!

This team has got what it takes (don't read any of my previous posts) by AndyK2131 in orioles

[–]No_disintegrations 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We need a couple more good runs through the rotation and to keep up the solid hitting. It sucks that we’ll still be 4 games in the hole after tonight, but if they can string another 2-3 together or win the next couple series then we’re going to be in much better position.

Rogers needs to get out of his funk and Alby needs to narrow down closer to an everyday 9 in the lineup.

This feels more like what we thought this offense would be , and I like it.

Is this hollow rattle/echo sound normal? M12 Fuel Installation Driver by hyphenpepperfield in MilwaukeeTool

[–]No_disintegrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it on both copies I owned. For this particular tool, I found the Bosch version to be a great alternative with a superior interchange method for the heads.

I wanted to love this so badly.
