Povich is like the Star Trek movies. Even numbered ones are good

Yeah. McCann as the backup catcher is great. McCann as a DH is a head scratcher.

Jeez, Felix, way to give us a heart attack

I've always been skeptical of Westburg's left-side defense, but it's looking more and more like he has the bat for 1B if need be

Little League coach told me one hand gripping the bat, half fist with the other behind the bat to guide it

Why the heck was Hays bunting? Dude's one of the best hitters on the team at the moment

Fabian can definitely play defense there, but the hit tool is a question. I'm not sure Haskin is going to be all that impressive on either side of the ball. Cowser would probably be stretched there, but could maybe do it for a few years. IIRC, Beavers has a chance to stick in CF, so maybe him?

Reynolds has a much better track record than Mullins and his value isn't as dependent on speed. We have Mullins for 3 more years after this one, at which point he'll be 31. I don't think I'd want to try to extend him more than a year or two after that. Seems unlikely he'd be worth the money it would take

Is there anyone in baseball with as many line drive outs as Mountcastle?

Yeah, because he missed Jud Fabian by a single pick

He needs to stop striking everyone out, or how else will he pitch deep into games? GREEN FONT

I hope they DFA Voth just so Hyde won't be able to put him in close games. Guy could have maybe been mop-up, but oh well...

Why the hell would you put Voth in here?

Cano dealing! He keeps this up for a few more games, I hope he gets an extended look

I mean, Mateo didn't have options when we claimed him, IIRC. It was stay in the majors or be DFA'd again

I like the guy, and I'm glad he's had the success he's had, but he's in the bottom few percent for raw stuff, and his strikeout to walk ratio has always been abyssmal. One day the magic is going to run out. I hope it's not this year

Ryan McKenna is just about the least of this team's problems. Get back to me when we've replaced a third or so of the pitching

Is he maybe just bad out of the pen? He was good as a starter last year and bad out of the pen this year and last

Eddie Murray

9 RBIs in a game has to be some kind of record

Did we just strand an inherited runner?

I honestly thought that was going to be worse for us

If it's really three standard deviations, an 80 means is that you're better than 997 out of 1000 MLB players at something. There are roughly 330 active MLB hitters at any point in time, so an 80 means you're probably better at whatever the 80 is in than all but one or two active hitters. I'm not saying the scale is actually used like that, but it if is, I doubt Basallo, or anyone in the system, is an 80 raw power.

I can't imagine Jackson is going to be in Delmarva for very long at this rate

In Delmarva, sure. I'll bet it's still close to 40 against MLB pitching, which I believe is what the scouting grades are talking about
