That’s absolutely part of the recipe.

If Basallo goes off in the second half we have an outside shot for 4 #1 prospects 4 years in a row. I’d say that’s elite. The Latin players he signed in his first year are now 19 & 20 and just getting into full-season ball. They have also hit on a lot of trades (Brandish, Cano, Povich, McDermott) and will continue to supplement the pipeline through additional trades. Etzel, Fabian, EBJ, Horvath could all turn the dial up a notch or 2 and become big time prospects.

Super scary. A 17y/o in Gainesville FL lost his life last December from being hit with a swing. A teammate was swinging inside a batting cage and the bat caught him. I think folks that have been around the game a lot have seen and heard of similar situations and understand the gravity. I heard it on the radio and my heart sunk. I really hope Mateo is OK and it doesn’t turn out to be serious.

Of the 46 balls he threw, I’d be curious on the total distance from the zone on all pitches added up. No exaggeration it might be close to 46’. He was consistently up and out arm side on his fastball missing by a foot. He threw one ball to a RHB that hit in the middle of the LHB’s batter box. His misses aren’t even remotely close.

Bro. Look for a pitch up. Damn

Just got home. Has there been any update on Mateo?

Husker fan came in hot and went out on fire.

Baseball is so hard. Every single player is one prolonged slump away from the end of their career. And it’s only an inevitable matter of time.

Big time stinker. Elias put him on tilt.

He’s been hammering balls directly to fielders. It’s baseball, it happens.

The -1 WAR guy with 0 HR who hasn’t hit a ball hard for almost the entire season? That Austin Hays? Nah? I’ll take my chances with Cowser.

I’m not a huge Perez fan, but the folks advocating for Baumann over him were cracking me up.

Erickson.

Santander getting hot.

Mounty muy muy fuerte

I love that he’s getting his shot and taking advantage.

Cowser has been making a lot of loud outs.

I didn’t like how he was shaking his hand and squeezing/flexing his fist. Looked like he felt something being a little off. Will be curious to see what he says after the game.

He doesn’t look right.

He’s cooked.

Whatever Bradish is doing with his hand is making me very nervous.

Omg - who called Cash getting tossed?

That pitch to Stowers was funk-tastic. Wowzer.

A good friend of mine coaches college baseball. He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way. An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail. New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

Why does it look like Gunnar has never swung a bat before? lol But that jumper…. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7XXl0YPxey/?igsh=MXZqZ256ZzF5dXVyOQ==
