  1. What did the umpire say? That's the answer. Drop it.
  2. Interesting to let Larnach bat there, radio speculation that his spot will come in the ninth against a RH closer. Julien absence messing up the right left mix leading to all kinds of interesting (better) managing.
  3. As an active working umpire go **** yourself. Kindly.
  4. I keep thinking he will run out things to say.
  5. Several of the reasons we should be measuring it as a situational success rate stat. I don't care what your approach is if it works. I'm genuinely puzzled why we don't have this yet.
  6. Good story. One of Brooks best traits is the makeup and I'm not just talking about him being a good kid. He's a baseball guy and his advanced mental game should have him well prepared to minimize the adjustments to the big leagues. Having another high pick, star shortstop type that had back issues in his younger days around won't hurt either.
  7. They get written off far more often than they become top 10-20 prospects in the game. Something like 40% of them don't even see the league. Lotta folks, including me, had hope for Micheal for quite a while. He's never been on Brooks Lee's level, by any metric. They have always been in a different tier, even before high school. There is still room for Lee to stumble, no doubt, but the comp you are searching for isn't in the Twins organization. You didn't answer my question, by the way.
  8. My sincere apologies, I wasn't aware anyone had told you that before. I hate joke thieves. On the other hand, if you've heard it several times before, you might want to reflect on that fact.
  9. It's a long, long season. We can't be having the team having game thread ulcers.
  10. Did I miss the darn it, Ian Hamilton whatcouldabeen article?
  11. Or, and hear me out here, lighten up Francis.
  12. Do both, but flip a coin for the order.
  13. The commitment to a lot of bits on this site is incredible.
  14. Battle of the 9 hole hitters. As expected.
  15. What happened in the year after that? Micheal OPS'd 650 at A ball and Lee OPS'd 839 making it to AA. I also can't detect any "raking" in any of Micheal's six! (6!) seasons at AA. I'm going to regret asking, but what was Micheal's highest reputable national prospect raking?
  16. Losing their best starting pitcher will catch up with them eventually. Adjustments to his replacements are being made.
  17. Get Levi Micheal's name out your dang mouth. At a similar age Levi was slopping around in high A ball as a league average hitter. You being worried about his AA/AAA splits in his first full year of pro ball is a good thing, actually. Sheesh.
  18. By my count that's 7 top 100 prospects, not including china doll Raya. Pretty good. Also, don't get too attached. Keaschall is the current perfect example of their mindset. Draft all the "shortstops" hit on one or two and trade the rest. Picking the right one to keep is the hard part.
  19. All of a sudden he's not pitching like it. A good tirade could snap the others out of it. Nice recovery by him, either way.
  20. Paddack is in a good position to kick a water cooler over and MF the Yankees to the moon. Scare your teammates a lil bit.
  21. Old school game thread musing will be replacing the sausage in about 9 hours. Mark it.
  22. How do they match up? They don't. Let's combine Goldschmidt, JD Martinez, Christian Walker and Vlady into one article and keep this thing moving along. What's that you say? Already had a Vlady piece? Did you think it would be the only one?
