    A good prospect absolutely. I have no problem with him being a top 100 guy, but some people putting him top 30 is just absurd. He's a guy who is going to have to provide 90% of his value with a bat and quite frankly he hasn't been all that great with the bat outside of his stint in rookie ball. Since last August 8th, following his promotion from rookie ball, he has posted a .236/.315/.423 line 19HR with a 30.9K% in 615PAs. Yeah he's super young for A+, but when your bat is your value then you have to hit. Let's compare him to Mason Martin another guy whose value is going to be basically entirely from his bat. 20 years old and his line between A and A+ this year is .254/.351/.558 with 35 bombs and a a 30.2K% in 556PAs. He isn't even sniffing top 100 lists. Long story short, Gorman is good but he isn't some elite prospect that Card fans should be drooling over. Save that drool for Dylan Carlson.

    Can't imagine this season is going to help the viewership/interest in the Marquee Network's first year.

    At least I didn't let them suck me in again after that 5 game winning streak. ESPN has them as a 74.2% chance to make the playoffs and I'd gladly lay down money if Vegas was offering the same.

    In the majors I'd agree that we'd pretty much ignore a small sample like 27IP, but in the minors where prospects make huge strides fairly often, I'd weight what we've seen lately a lot more heavily.
  5. Tryptamine
    Are we approaching record pace for biggest split between home and away records? 41-19 at home and 23-39 on the road. It's kind of amazing statistically at this point.
  6. Tryptamine
    With Hamilton getting DFA'd, I'd be game to DFA Almora and let Hamilton replace him. Neither can hit at all, but at least Hamilton provides value on the bases and plays better defense.

    Not sure if the Orioles thing will pan out, but I think it’s a foregone conclusion that the Rays and Marlins have to relocate. Charlotte and Nashville would be two good markets for them and it wouldn’t upset the divisional alignment. I'd usually agree but MLB absolutely hates Angelos and I think they do anything they can to pry the team from him. MLB/Nats have been in a legal battle for the last couple years with the Orioles over the % shares from the MASN contract.

    I don't think he's a closer, or even an 8th inning guy, but he could be a really 3rd or 4th arm out of the pen. The kind of guy who is great to have around as long as he's cheap.
  9. Tryptamine
    This is why I don't even sweat trading Eloy. You have to rake so hard to be valuable when your defense is an atrocity in the OF.
  10. Tryptamine
    5IP 0H 0ER 3BB 4K with 79 pitches for Marquez. I'd think he's done at this point.
  11. Tryptamine
    I wouldn't object at all to Trading RIzzo in the offseason if it got us some now pieces, like Benintendi. He turns 30 in 2 days and since June 16th, 174 PAs, he has SLGd .432 with 2HR. The OBP is still there, but the power has been lacking.
  12. Tryptamine
    I'll agree with this. The risk of making him change his approach may lead to a Starlin like downfall. Poor guy was never the same after they tried to get him to take more pitches and pull the ball more often.

    Rumored Cub target Shane Greene, fresh off a blown save yesterday, got blown up today for 3ER in his 1IP. His ERA has climbed from 1.18 to 2.03 over the last two days.
  14. Tryptamine
    Good inning for Chatwood, I say let him go out for the 8th too.
  15. Tryptamine
    I know virtually nothing about Patterson aside from his 1.50ERA and 2.65FIP across two levels this year. Granted he's 24 so he probably should have been killing A and A+. Anyways, what's the report on him?
  16. Tryptamine
    I really dislike how Maddon manages the pen usually, but that was a really great time to bring in Holland.
  17. Tryptamine
    Yu pitching great, but the defense probably costs him a full inning worth of pitches.
  18. Tryptamine
    We can stop with the errors already.
  19. Tryptamine
    At least Maldonado is hitting .273/.357/.636 in his first 13 PA for the Astros and doesn’t play a position of need for us How has Maldonado already had 13 PA for Houston, is he their starter? Chirinos has had a sore shoulder over the last few games, but is starting today.
  20. Tryptamine
    Admittedly very early in the Kemp's Cub tenure, but I'm starting to want to see Happ at 2B.
  21. Tryptamine
    God I love 2019 Heyward
  22. Tryptamine
    So it's going to be a Cob game. There can't be a team in baseball that botches more double play opportunities than the Cubs.
  23. Tryptamine
    For some inexplicable reason he slowed down approaching home and was watching Grandal.
  24. Tryptamine
    Holy hell Rizzo is slow, I mean like Pujols level slow.
  25. Tryptamine
    6IP 0H 0ER 2BB 6K final line. That sure didn't take long.
