Yeah. It was fun seeing the Gonzalez article a few days ago, with McLeod kind of hinting that hitting could be addressed early in the draft this year. Link?

Forecast sucks until Thursday Outside of the temperature all week and maybe the precip during Wednesday's game (40% chance of scattered showers), it's actually not that bad for early April. Looked a loooooooooot worse a few days ago.

So the Mets are kinda good when they're healthy? Good on them to bank some wins.

Wow, Ohtani.

Zobrist should be leading off right now.

Uelmen got roughed up - 2.1 IP, 3 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HBP. All runs surrendered in that third.

WTF

Minor league games should just end in a tie Yes. I’d let them play the 10th the normal way and that’s it.

The baserunner at second to start every half inning in extras is dumb. https://twitter.com/iowacubsgameday/status/982830917118054400?s=21

Lol Dodgers. That's the second time this season they've taken a lead in the top of the 14th or 15th and lost the game in the bottom of the inning.

Gordo would have a field day with Hosmer’s contract if he worked in San Diego.

That 9th inning was amazing. So the Darvish/Morrow ex-Dodger combo is the new Arrieta/Strop ex-Orioles combo except the Cubs get to rub it in against the Dodgers way more frequently.

That strike zone against Caratini was an abomination. The technology supposedly isn’t ready for robot umps but it can’t be worse than this.

Most teams’ Bermuda Triangle doesn’t include their leadoff hitter.

PH for Happ.

What’s the point of replay if they’re not going to get calls right?

Hitting and running with guys who are struggling to make contact is dumb. Also, Bryant was clearly safe.

Myrtle Beach PPD. Doubleheader tomorrow.

Kiley with another scouting notebook. Some scouts are name dropping Kris Bryant when they see Bohm. Plus stuff on Swaggerty, Gilbert, Jenista, India, Conine and a host of rounds 3-6 guys: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/far-too-many-scouting-notes-on-college-draft-prospects/
