Tony!!!

I prefer contact play with 1 out.

Yea. Not a fan of assuming either.

How long until people start to complain about them mentioning the “AL East series winning streak”?

Of course he does. No doubt in my mind. As well he should. Lotta good info, talking points, and temperature of the die hard fan base.

Can’t say “piss rods” on TV

Added .74 to Gil’s ERA. A big knocked with bases loaded and we’d have put 1 point on him. Thanks, Austin.

Homie is in danger zone.

Soto almost ate that ball.

Aaron Boone: “note to self, don’t ever hit Gunnar again”

Sounds like a good bit of Os fans in the house.

Glad to see a happy and confident Mullins. Let’s go!!!!!

Their 2.34 1st inning era is second only to the 8th (2.22)

A second or third baseman hanging out in shallow RF where all his hits go.

Orioles not even recognizing and giving the Yankees the satisfaction of seeing them upset last night was hard freaking core. They were very obviously throwing at them and trying to intimidate and Os didn’t flinch. Super impressive. Not saying they threw at them to both them and hurt them, but they wanted to send a message of discomfort in the box and stick up for the 300MM man.

Didn’t someone post recently that Soto had good defensive metric #s? He’s abysmal

Barry Bonds and it's not even particularly close. He's better than #2 & #3 combined.

My takeaways: 1. He showed incredible poise and confidence and battled against the best offense in baseball. 2. He did have some uncompetitive pitches, but he had a ton of very very close calls where he just missed. 3. It was obvious the Yankees game plan was to take and make him throw strikes, they took a ton of very very close pitches. 4. It was a bit frustrating and stressful to watch, but I was very impressed by how he handled himself. 5. He made Soto WHIFF on three FBs, how often does that happen? 6. He throws his pitches to all over....in, out, up, and down. Looks like he's trying to be absolutely perfect. 7. I was impressed with the outing. Very gutsy.

I can't wait to watch him play. He hit 140 dingers in HS. His father (coach) was Ohtani's HS coach also.

The 11.7 scholarship cap is going away as early as next year. Reports: NCAA Considering Lifting Scholarship Limit As Part Of Lawsuit Settlement Talks (baseballamerica.com) Revenue is also opening up so that in addition to a full ride, the bigger schools (Think SEC, ACC, BIG 12) will also be able to offer very significant compensation. College baseball (The larger - think top 50 programs) are now essentially professional baseball. HS baseball players will be able to get a free education and make significant money while doing so. This will deter a lot of HS players from going to MLB unless they are a top pick getting multiple millions. It's about the be the wild wild west in college sports, no one really knows what the limits will be to the players ability to earn.

Folks that are up in arms about kids hurting their elbows and then watch college football & NFL football kinda make me chuckle. (This isn’t directed to anyone I’m particular)

Just wait until you see what happens over the next few years+ now that college kids are making 6 & 7 figures. It's about to get insane.

Gillen is a big dude. 6'3'' and muscular. I wouldn't be too upset with this pick. Theo Gillen Class of 2024 - Player Profile | Perfect Game USA
