    I hope Joey Ortiz has a great career. 

    Me too.  Easy guy to pull for.  Everytime I watched him on Norfolk he made a play that made my jaw drop.  And I was always blown away by his power since he was always labeled as a glove first guy.  The dude can rake.  Painful but necessary to trade him.

    I'm sick of the mlb overhype machine.  Just let the young guys come up without all the unnecessary fanfare and pressure.  There must have been 10 articles on mlb two days ago when Holliday debuted.  

    His debut was the second most watched MLB Network weekday game. (Or something like that).  MLB needs to market their talent as much as they possibly can.

    Didn’t see whatever play you’re talking about but not interested in a different play two days later.    Mullins didn’t have time to be there if needed.  He would have had to go full speed into a possible collision with his 2B who called it, seemingly had it, and the didn’t.   Again, didn’t see the play in question but it sounds different to me.   Frankly, you evaded the question 3 times and now days later have an answer using a different play as an example.   Sounds sketchy but I’ll look for the play on the condensed or rewind if it’s available.

    Same play, but this time he did go full speed…and made the catch when the IF botched it.  As you are supposed to.  
     

    And I did answer.  You just don’t like my answer.   Todays play was a perfect example of what an OF should do on a pop up to shallow OF that an IF calls for.

    Yeah I remember him as a player for the Rockies. I like him on Loud Outs as well.

    He doesn’t take himself too seriously and gives pretty interesting inside views of player life.  Will be interesting to see how he does this game.  Does he call game for the Rockies?

    Maybe there will be a MILK promotion at the Yard one day for Cowser.  Then down the road something for Coby and then there will be a MILK and MAYO promo.  Can you taste it now? Mmm...mmm...good.

    Hopefully early in the season and not the middle of summer.  That could be bad.

    Thats cool. I think I have to give the edge to Mullins defending right now. Cowser's a huge guy for CF too, listed at 220 lbs on Bbref, but if Judge can do it...

    I agree - just curious to see the similarity.  Imagine. Cowser has beat in wing span.  And his arm is much stronger.

    Sprint speed doesn't equal being good in CF. Mullins has great instincts and gets really good jumps on balls.

    Mullins has definitely lost a step and I'm not sure if he's just being cautious so he doesn't hurt his groin again or what, but he's special out there in CF on defense.

    For sure.  I thought it was interesting.  I was surprised to see the numbers so close.  It’s definitely a building block to being a good CF. 
     

    I’ve also noticed Mullins taking it easy.  He’s been picking his spots to when he goes all out.

    Just because he hasn't gotten a hit and had some fun defensive plays doesn't mean he's pressing, nervous, any of that mental BS some of you like to put on these guys.

    He's adjusting to playing Major League Baseball.

    This. 

    Can we please stop batting Gunnar at lead-off?

    No you bat your best hitter second.  That is what all the analytics say.  And I would love to see him hit second. 

    I like my best hitter getting the most ABs in a season.  Especially one who is one of the fastest in baseball, an incredible baserunner, and an OBP machine.

    Actually 796 OPS but he was put there when he went on the heater that got him the ROTY  

    As I said, it’s a combination of me believing he will be better batting second or third.  He just doesn’t look great leading off games.  It’s a small sample size, but I also backed it up with stats to date.  

    He’s the best hitter on the team and as such should get the most ABs on the season.
