Subtle Distinctions Bring Clean Work

Edgy MD Aug 10 2022 08:29 PM

Now that we've had two+ times through the rotation as it was meant to be in spring, we can build our mnemonic to remember the rotation and figure out who is pitching tomorrow without having to call Buck Showalter at crazy hours. Starting with Max Scherzer, who started the team's first game after the All-Star break, the rotation seems to be looping around as Scherzer-deGrom-Bassitt-Carrasco-Walker, or SDBCW. So, just remember, "Subtle Distinctions Bring Clean Work!" Unless you've got something better. https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-photos/image/upload/d_people:generic:headshot:67:current.png/w_213,q_auto:best/v1/people/453286/headshot/67/current>https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-photos/image/upload/d_people:generic:headshot:67:current.png/w_213,q_auto:best/v1/people/594798/headshot/67/current>https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-photos/image/upload/d_people:generic:headshot:67:current.png/w_213,q_auto:best/v1/people/605135/headshot/67/current>https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-photos/image/upload/d_people:generic:headshot:67:current.png/w_213,q_auto:best/v1/people/471911/headshot/67/current>https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-photos/image/upload/d_people:generic:headshot:67:current.png/w_213,q_auto:best/v1/people/592836/headshot/67/current>

Max would do well in a pirate movie.

With an occasional stopover in Portland for Game Two of a doubleheader. Well done, each and all.

I was actually recently thinking about how we could use a rotation mnemonic for this crew. Good that someone beat me to it as my procrastination would likely have delayed it until the season was over. IIRC, our first one was: Let's Treat Edgy At Dinner (and several variations of that)

Edgy MD Aug 11 2022 10:24 AM Re: Subtle Distinctions Bring Clean Work

You'd think I'd remember that. I'm guessing that's Leiter/Trachsel/Estes/Astacio/D'Amico?

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2022 10:51 AM Re: Subtle Distinctions Bring Clean Work

Yup. I was drawing a blank on Astacio

Edgy MD Aug 11 2022 11:25 AM Re: Subtle Distinctions Bring Clean Work

A solid rotation were they, for half a season. Melted down like Chernobyl in the second half, if I correctly recall.

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2022 11:27 AM Re: Subtle Distinctions Bring Clean Work

And didn't Astacio fall apart almost immediately after hitting some threshold that guaranteed his contract for the following season?

Edgy MD Aug 11 2022 11:29 AM Re: Subtle Distinctions Bring Clean Work

No, he fell apart a few outings before that, but for some reason, Bobby Valentine kept starting him until he got over the finish line.
