1. "Minor Details" will again be delayed. Same reason as yesterday.

2. That was a tweet from Mike Berardino. Two, actually. The first sounded way worse with less context.

   First tweet:
   Any Triple-A prospects Molitor would like to see brought up for an August look?
   "Not really," he said

   Second tweet:
   Full exchange, to be fair:

   Q: Is there anybody on Rochester now you'd like to see earlier than September?
   Molitor: Not really. I mean, I know what these guys are doing. I know who our prospects are. I think everybody's kind of where they should be right now."

   1. Buxton has 28 SO in 88 PA at AAA. Astudillo is the only guy with a significant number of PA and an OPS above .800.

      I’m a little bit more surprised that none of the arms at Rochester deserve a look.

      1. Also, his wrist is injured again. Dude is cursed.

   2. thanks for the context.

      1. The context is important. That makes it sound more like "Those guys will benefit more from another month in AAA than by being brought to the majors" rather than "Nobody at Rochester is any good."

3. You know, sometimes those "so and so is typing a message" things are a curse, especially when you already think the person you're skyping is a moron and you can see that they keep typing and deleting a response to a simple question.

   1. 

      1. Are you calling yourself a moron?

         1.

   After two days of hoses and shopvacs and fishing lines, I gave up and put another hole in the floor where I stood a better chance (though by no means simple) of seeing and somehow getting my hands on the tube. I curse whoever did the initial installations down there of wires, tubing and ductwork all through the same joists. May I never mess with it again.

   1. Ha! That's fantastic. I was saying it half as a joke, but sometimes its really the only thing you can do.

5. I just discovered that old episodes of American Routes are archived on its website, and that said website is not blocked at work.

   1. I never would have found that since I always look for American Roots.

      1. It has been an enjoyable afternoon

6. "Go get a beverage and a book and have a good night." This might be one the best store ideas I've seen.

7. Since I'm back home in MN this weekend, and based on zoom's recommendations, I picked up some Castle Danger Ode IPA. Excellent stuff.

8. The Yankees are putting Sonny Gray in the bullpen and Lance Lynn in their rotation.

   1. Looking at Gray's recent numbers, that's understandable.

      1. and less recent social media history.

9. I saw this sign and knew fear:
   Sign of the day

   1. That sign invites illegal parking because it will take an eternity for the tow to come and remove you.
