Tony-OH

He was basically who I saw last year in the minors. His slider still wasn't very good but the fastball-changeup combo seems to work a bit. I still think if he's going to be a big leaguers, it will be in the pen and he still needs to find a better and more consistent breaking ball.

Nice throw by Carter Young from 3B to end the game.

Actually, Matt Gorski made a hell of throw from LF to get Handley. That's a double for most left fielders. Gorski can throw but he's a terrible hitter.

John Rhodes was like, "Thanks Handley." Cost him a spring training PA there.

I assume he has some ancestry there? They are very loose on allowing Americans to play for those European teams.

Lol on the squibber Double by Johnson. The announces are way off. The issue was Termir Johnson for some reason went to his left on a ball up the middle and didn't cover 2B like he should have. I have no idea why he went that way?

54. Ryan Long – RHP (A+/AA): Big 6-foot-6 right-hander who made his way to AA after being a 17th rounder in the 2021 draft. His fastball sits 92-94, t96 with a solid change and a well below average slider. Dominates lefties with his changeup but with a below average breaking ball, right-handers give him fits. Maybe he gets a bump in stuff if he goes to the bullpen, but either way, the slider needs to improve.

Ryan Long gets to throw more than one pitch today! lol

Only roster guys and NRIs get names. The minor league fill in guys don't.

Yeah, Burns was playing almost at 2B. That's a no man's land ball. Hard to be too upset with Burns dropping that when he had so far to go.

Man, that is what 80 speed looks like. We're already seeing what kind of speed and defense he brings.

The second that ball hit the infield I knew Bradfield was going to beat that out.

Poor Daniel Johnson. Trying to make the team and he keeps getting lefties and he's not good at hitting them.

Down 0-2, Mayo ends up with a walk. Really nice at bat for him. Didn't panic down 0-2, fouled off a pitch or two.

.940 XBA on that and Bradfield made it look like a can of corn.

Bradfield just showed his defensive range right there on that rocket to left field. That was a double with most outfielders.

Collin Burns. Good glove SS/2B who made his way to Bowie last year despite missing time for an injury.

Luis Gonzales

Pitchers are usually ahead of hitters early on, but a lot of pitchers pitching our hitters up and in with success.

Not at all. The broadcast itself from the split screens, to the graphics, and even the announcers do a good job. I expect them to spend time talking to their coaches and players. But overall the quality of broadcast is night and day compared to the Middle School AV club broadcast MASN puts together.

The Pirates broadcast experience is always so good.

Baker got hit hard but got out of the inning unscathed.

It seems to be the free game on MLB TV.

Kjerstad made the catch, but looked a little sketchy at that wall.

Curious, and perhaps I missed a post, but where did you get his "lifting numbers" from? Was that something Holliday told in an interview?
