  1. two of the worst strike calls I've ever seen that inning. Naked Gun bad.
  2. please just put all players whose names end in "o" 1-4 in the lineup.
  3. I don't know if I can agree with that. Those are both skills that can look very good in the low minors when everyone is terrible, but erode as you move up. I agree that they play down, just not as severely as other tools. In AA, you've got to think that these skills have at least a decent chance to translate. I certainly think pitchers with better control can force him to put the bat on the ball, but I don't think he's going to start chasing pitches. As far as the baserunning, the guy has a 92/11 SB/CS ratio over the last two years. That's ridiculous at any level.
  4. Well, you can't really ask for more from Wada. Guy is toying with AAA. So far today 5 IP 2 H 1 BB 8 K. ERA down to 0.57
  5. Plate discipline and baserunning are 2 skills that play ~ at every level. Andreoli is elite at both. I think he should be higher on this list.
  6. Seems like the bullpen is where they're going to spin vets off this year. I like it considering we have a good young group of back-end guys to slide into those roles. Not a fan of Joba, however.
  7. Looks like the Charlotte pick has a fair chance of being ~ 11-13th pick this year. There might be a way the Bulls could move into the lottery with the right package of picks. Some bad GMs out there.
  8. Was checking out AFL stats and noticed Scottsdale 2B Tommy La Stella (Braves) has a beautiful 10/0 BB/K so far. Crazy discipline through his first 3 minor league seasons as well. Will be 25 next season but someone to keep an eye on.
  9. any idea who's pitching? The 38th pick of this year's draft, Michael Lorenzen. He has only pitched 20 pro innings, and those were in relief, but he was pretty good.
  10. Almora leads off with a HR in his first AFL AB. Bryant hits a 3 run shot in the 1st as well.
  11. I don't know who is currently driving the Hendricks bandwagon, but you need to scoot over *I shouldn't have said anything
  12. Since his promotion, Rosscup has faced 11 hitters and struck out 10 of them.
  13. Villanueva (3) Bryant (9) and Baez (10) all made the hot sheet this week.
  14. Oh, goodness. Probably going to score 10 runs, though.
  15. Rosscup gets an inning and strikes out the side Vogelbach with a single and 3 BB.
  16. And the 5th highest WAR in baseball among catchers.
  17. Seems like Andreoli should be on this list.
  18. What do you know? Baez single in his 1st AB.
  19. Daytona in a 0-0 tie in the 13th inning. 20 hits between the two teams and no runs. Weird, wild stuff.
  20. At the game Sunday in Seattle, Shark and Feldman were acting like BFFs. When I heard this news, that was the first thing I thought about.
  21. Going Sunday as well, lol. Taking my 2-year-old son to his first Cubs game. He's been talking about it non-stop for weeks.
  22. Blackburn allows a hit in the 3rd but Ks the side.
  23. I always liked the guy. Difficult watching him lose all semblance of effectiveness. Was GOAT for a short while.
  24. In no way I am defending Marmol as a major-league pitcher, but what is he as a human being supposed to do? He is called upon to pitch, he pitches. I don't believe he is tanking it on purpose, he has simply become a terrible baseball player. It has to be absolutely humiliating to keep walking into that clubhouse with the loss solely on your head. The blame should have long since shifted to management, who is clearly trying to salvage value where there is simply none left.
