Folks love to throw around terms like bust in regards to players who don't end up excelling in the majors. Josh Hart is what a bust looks like. He topped out at A+ ball. Folks like Sisco and Stewart aren't busts, those are success stories.

Matusz, Norris and Webb trades.

And the three he traded away?

I don't think he did. He had an 806 OPS in Bowie in 2018 and an 871 at Norfolk in 2019. I'm not seeing an appreciable gain. Walk rate was worse at AAA as was K rate.

That would still cause an issue with the rule V draft.

You thinking what I'm thinking? Lock him up through his age 35 season?

The Yanks have scored 31 runs in back to back games? Geez.

Hey, he's tied with a former #3 overall pick, pretty impressive.

I was shocked. Until I read about it in the paper I was completely clueless that Mason even played baseball.

You mean Mason Saunders?

Only one person could have overruled him.

He also did it with the Reds. Seven folks on that list if no one has joined it recently.

Twice by what former Oriole?

I haven't seen anything where I was surprised he couldn't get to a ball but maybe I've missed some. Still an extremely small sample size to try and parse data out of.

As I've said before it's really easy to manipulate pitcher service time. As long as you aren't looking at a Sixto Sánchez level of performer no one will blink if a guy gets sent down because a fresh arm is needed.

You really think they are going to use a couple-three weeks worth of data to make a change like that?

I'm guessing Mountcastle.

I think surprise is a bit of an understatement.

Good, I answered that specific question as well. It really isn't my thing, no rep points in it. ? Yes I know the format is different. If anyone doesn't like it they can do tomorrow's game thread.

I've started plenty of threads, MLB, Oriole Talk, Music. I don't recall if I've ever started a game thread, I think it is the second time.

Game on.

I don't see what is in it for him to go to the minors. It's a lose lose situation for him and he can just refuse to go.

Sure been a lot more fun than 2018-2019. How would you like to face the Marlins in a best of three?

Lots of things about this season are silly.

I'm not watching a Larry the Cable Guy video. Sorry?
