  1. I walked up on Monday and got a $10 ticket and they printed it just like it used to be. In 2021 they would text me the ticket but now the paper stubs are back.
  2. Well, same league but now he won't have to face the LSU pitchers. But then again, he will have to face the Vandy guys now
  3. I was at the game today and something weird is going on. That first at bat was deeply concerning. He worked the count 3-0 and then swung through back to back 93-94 mph fastballs in the zone. Inexplicable. Also he looks extremely frustrated so he is most definitely pressing. I just can't imagine he has swung through 3-0 and 3-1 meatballs with his swing and approach.
  4. For how many decades will Hunter Pence be the unorthodox swing that worked example? It's almost like he's an exception or something.
  5. Law had him at 51 but sounds kinda Joey Rickard to me "If he can handle center field, he’s got a chance to be an above-average regular even without average power; if not, he might be a quality fourth outfielder who plays all three spots but doesn’t quite have the thump to be a regular in a corner."
  6. I doubt Westburg stays at SS. How many college SS actually play there in the bigs? If you're good enough to play SS in the majors you don't go to college (or are am int'l guy).
  7. Ya and this year must be more stressful than ever. You better have faith in your local scouts because so many picks will be made sight unseen, by comparison to most years. And then what happens after the draft with no minor leagues? I keep thinking about these high school guys. How much physical maturity will Veen go through before he's even able to play a live game again?
  8. I think that might've been in Keith Law's rankings. He had Martin #1 on the board and compared him athletically to Baez and George Springer. The difference was that those guys struck out like crazy and Martin hardly ever strikes out by comparison.
  9. I think one thing that might be fun is to go way back and do barnstorming again. Build on things like that Williamsport series, etc, and get the big league clubs and players out their playing in more accessible venues (and for more accessible prices). There are so many minor league stadiums/college stadiums/etc everywhere that could be used. It might help with marketing stars because people could see how their skills play up in more intimate settings. And getting 10,000 fans at those places would be an exciting and energetic atmosphere. Getting 10,000 fans in a big league park, as we know, is depressing. It won't happen but it would be a fun way to get back to its roots in a new and interesting way. Also since there's not as much contact as other sports I think they should do way more with the television broadcast. There's gotta be ways to make the downtime more interesting. Have guys mic'd up every game. Stuff like that to show off more of the personality.
  10. Looks like the dudes on that list already have teams they're expected to sign with listed in their summaries. None of them are the O's so it seems like we'd have to pull a surprise.
  11. But how would you find roster room to develop the approximately 2,000 $10k players you could take a flier on each year with Davis's salary?
  12. Phillips and Zimmerman were both born in Maryland.
  13. To be fair they did win 5 of 6 from May 9 to May 13 (doubleheader with Ray's included) which allowed them to go 6-4 for 10 games. It was a glorious time.
