  1. Yes, they could have probably overturned 7 pitches that were called strikes.... Though on the radio Atteberry or Gladden stated that they had asked Weiss about this and he stated that he didn't think the batters knew the strike zone well enough to challenge, but that he trusted his catchers to challenge when needed.
  2. He does have that air about him, doesn't he...
  3. Yeah, injuries really suck. He is due for regression today, his first two starts with ATL were very good: 12 IP, 1R, 1/ER, 16/2 K/BB, 1HR.
  4. The team has had plenty of guys do an 0-13 at some point. However, guys like you have them relegated to the DFA scrap pile and unworthy of another chance shortly thereafter...
  5. Waiting for you to put your money where your mouth is... Or maybe pucker up buttercup is more appropriate...
  6. No, despite your want for immediate information, they do not. They have a schedule for all of the prospects, however injuries, ineffectiveness, other players stepping up, etc... sometimes interrupt the schedule. Culpepper got called up early due to other SS ineffectiveness, otherwise he probably would not have been here until next spring. Jackson got recalled simply because Martin got injured before the team had a chance to evaluate Emma/ERod (however you may refer to him). Jenkins may have been considered for this season, but injuries and lack of results until recently tempered any possible promotion. He may still be called up this season, but he doesn't have to be, despite you wanting it to happen.
  7. They don't need to, despite what every TD user thinks.
  8. But you manage to come on here every time to let us know he failed... Good on you, batting 1.000...
  9. Regardless, this team was not expected to compete this season, the fact that the rest of the league regressed to allow them to be competitive should not influence their long-term goal concerning prospects. I get it, it's frustrating watching some of these players on the team right now, but why risk player control, health, etc... because the rest of the league sucked. Stick to the plan and allow the player's to develop. Rushing them accomplishes nothing, and may even hinder development.
  10. Most of the users that post on here seem to think that this team should be that good or better....
  11. Could you imagine Yankees Daily tearing apart arguably the greatest MLB team of all-time...
  12. Even the '27 Yankees were held to 3 runs or less 28 times....5-23 record, for the record. They were even shutout once...
  13. My experience was that the only parents that wanted to "help" were there for their kids and their kids alone. I would end practice if one of the kids parents showed up before the communicated end of practice. The kids figured it out and told their parents to not show up until practice was over. This forum seems to have a lot of those "helpful" parents on it...
  14. Seriously, yes this is the same yapping I would hear from parents concerning 9 year old playing time.
  15. Never asked a parent to help coach, normally sent kids home if their parent showed up. Seemed o work well for me...
  16. Most of you people on here must have been real fun to be around when your kids were playing little league and the coach took little Johnnie out to put little Billy in.... (I do understand that this Forum is about an MLB team, but the comments....)
  17. I looked it up, it is 130 AB (not PAs, my bad), 50 IP or 45 days on the active roster (excluding time on the IL). https://www.mlb.com/glossary/rules/rookie-eligibility
  18. Looks like Roden may be the new Jackson given how the bench was utilized today.....
  19. Kremer was around 65 pitches and had allowed only 3 hits through 5 IP, no reason to have anybody warming. Yes he fell apart pretty quickly, but it also takes time for a RP to get loose.
  20. I understand throws from the OF are different from throws across the diamond, but Keaschall (84.2 MPH) currently has a stronger arm than Lee (82.7 MPH). Keaschall also has a max throw velocity of 92.3 MPH, maybe his arm is recovering from TJ surgery...
