Don't sell yourself short. We're all chumps to some degree on this planet.

At any rate all husbands are to some degree. OFC not all of us have the advanced degree of a Sam/Grogan 14

Then I must have a high degree of chumpness. After 20 years and 2 awesome kids my wife divorced me

Perhaps the kids were too awesome and she needed more chumpness?
It is great to feel that way about our kids though, our sons grew into amazing men in spite of being burdened with me as a father.

Are you saying they're Mama's Boys?

I'm saying she'd say so and who the hell is going to disagree? Not me, I didn't survive this long by doing that

Duran not in the lineup. Coincidence?

I know Monasterio boots one at SS from time to time but there have been plenty of these on his resume too.

First rehab game

What do I know, I'm just a chump

We are all chumps. No difference.

I think it was 4. He had 2 in Tuesday's game

For Chapman to do that at his age is incredible. Nobody has ever come close to that within at least 5 years of his age.
And regardless of age, that's one of the top 3 fastest mph ever recorded.

Another ninth inning come from behind walkoff.

The continuing evolution of Cedanne is fun to watch. He's a becoming a very legit hitter.
And one of the most complete all-around players in MLB. And still a kid.

What value do the two potential pending infield promotions provide at this point? Honestly, I don't want either guy taking playing time from the current players. I don't have anything against them, just seems like a guaranteed disruption with more downside than up. Convince me otherwise.

Baseball isn't like other team sports. Player can come in off the street and help a team by hitting and fielding balls cleanly.

Monasterio is a Punch and Judy hitter and a substandard defensive shortstop. Decent utility guy.

Story must get a shot at SS when he is ready. Period.
