  1. Rooker keeps doing it; another homer yesterday, but once again Oakland lost!
  2. All this speculation is better than any board game. I love it! It's always fun to guess the next moves that might be made. Nothing I can add except I have no idea what will happen when some of these guys come off the IL.
  3. I agree on the catching part of the equation. That "little" extra added quality provided by the catcher can end up being a huge factor in the success of the pitcher.
  4. I'm a bit confused --- maybe even shocked --- about this sudden Gallo "rehab" too. Seems like he only had this injury a few days ago, and now he's back in the field again, albeit with St. Paul. Not upsetting, just sort of odd. But as you noted, it's a bonus to have Julien called up to show his stuff.
  5. Yeah, I don't see any trade happening at this point. Unless Kepler comes back healthy and starts putting up better offensive numbers on a regular basis, there will be almost zero demand for his services. The clock is ticking.
  6. And over in Boston, Rob Refsnyder hit his first homer of the year for the Red Sox.
  7. Yeah, what a great game for Rooker with 2 more homers, but again in a losing cause. And the pitcher of record in the loss: our old buddy Trevor May.
  8. I'm wondering about Balazovic's role now too. If he's comfortable in the pen, that's not a bad thing, but I hadn't heard anything previously about converting him to a reliever.
  9. Rooker hit his first homer for Oakland yesterday, and good ole Eddie Rosario hit one out for Atlanta. Hope that both players can continue to contribute to their new teams.
  10. Definitely a bit more lineup flexibility this year, at least in regards to players that can play more than one position, plus the quality of the bench appears better and deeper this year. Sure, it's still too early to pass any fair judgment on the front office's moves, but even with all these early injuries we don't need to panic too much at this juncture.
  11. Good article. Sure, the performance, and health, of our outfielders will be a big key to a winning season, but the headline of the article made me wonder. I would say that the key to a winning/playoff-bound season will hinge more on the performance of the pitching staff, particularly the starters. If even 4 of our main 5 starters can stay healthy and pitch as well as they have the first 2 weeks of the season we'll be in very good shape.
  12. Baltimore is making use of Danny Coulombe in the bullpen, He pitched another scoreless inning yesterday, his ERA remaining at 0.00. In the same game, Brent Rooker had 2 hits for Oakland, but nothing for extra bases.
  13. Over in Atlanta yesterday Michael Tonkin pitched: 3 scoreless innings and only gave up 1 hit with 3 strikeouts. And in their bullpen Nick Anderson pitched a scoreless inning.
  14. Yeah, a sad start for Jose after a lackluster season last year. It's still early, so hope he can turns things around, but those are brutal early numbers.
  15. That was fun to see. First cycle in Marlins history!
  16. I agree, Even in a situation like the one in this game, it seems as if teams nowadays are adverse to bunting. What a delight to see Taylor bunt in that situation. I love it! And even better that it resulted in the winning run scoring.
  17. Seeing the starters going deeper into the games without getting the hook is very nice to see. Maybe it's a combination of Rocco being much more confident with this rotation, plus we actually had a spring training of normal length this year. These pitchers seemed like they were prepared to tackle heavier loads even in early April.
  18. the Might Mussels plated five runs off a flurry of knocks, releasing more hit singles than Earth Wind and Fire. That was my favorite line of the week! Thank you! Keep Your Head to the Sky!
  19. So many shortstops and so little games. Yes, it is a bit of a problem, not only at Cedar Rapids but at other levels too. But as others have suggested, some of these player should be able to, somewhat effortlessly. slide over to second or third base, or even do some outfield duty. Good athletes like these guys are somewhat resilient.
  20. Tough break for Odorizzi .. and the Rangers. But the Rangers finally have more depth with their starting pitching this year, especially if DeGrom stays healthy.
  21. Leave it the accountants to decide!
  22. Having Polanco, Kirilloff, Lewis in the lineup on a regular basis will be a nice headache to have!
