Didn't take him long at all to find his groove. I understand why he has to be on the roster, why does he have to play?

Take your pick: 1- Everyone needs to get tested for Coronavirus between games. 2- Giving fans a chance to hit the concessions.

Worse than finding out I wear Birkenstocks?

The sacrifices that man makes for us, weekly.

Was it? If you are evaluating the roster you bring up players to evaluate. With the exception of Means we still don't know about all the young players that were brought up last year. Hays, Stewart, Sisco, Santander...we still don't know. We still have Smith getting at bats. I think it was about playing the games that they had to play and collecting their draft picks.

Because the value of the #2 pick isn't higher than the #6 pick? You have a lottery in the NBA and teams are still in hard on the tank model. Teams have more to gain by finishing with the 2nd worst record than they do the 10th worse record. Being "just bad" can be a decade long purgatory for teams. Look at the O's or the Wizards for that matter.

Dan traded a rather large amount of International slot money (750K) to the Phillies for Jack. I was livid because, well he was rather obviously not a player. I in fact predicted he would be released the following spring training (I was off by a couple weeks). Turns out that the whole trade was part of an against the rules trade between the two teams the season before. Why the teams weren't punished for such activity I don't know. Jack became a bit of a running gag.

Shouldn't they see if hitters adjust to his change in pitch usage before getting too excited?

Posey was drafted in 2008 and made his debut in 2009. Zunino was drafted in 2012 and made his debut in 2013. Both of them were college catchers taken in the top 5 so i think they make fair comps.

No I don't actually want the ball. My dog prefers plush animals for chew toys.

How could we have let someone with his draft pedigree get away???

Just picked up a corned beef brisket that I'm going to sous vide while I can't leave the house.

With the number of teams going to the playoffs they have a bit of time to get their house in order.

Pfft he lost. He obviously isn't a winner.

"Continues"? When did it previously "bite the O's"? Also as you said, it didn't cost the O's the game.

Must have been a thrill for the fans.

I'm not going to fault someone for wearing a mask that's primary function is to protect others.

You might be able to catch it more than once.

More likely the Marlins effect. I'd be distracted playing against them.

Yep for all the talk of hitting spots and changing speeds velocity is still very important. Means at 95 has a much better chance to continue last season's success.

You think maybe Davis?

That irks me so much more than it should. It should be the Uecker line.

Well it sure ain't going to be Mountcastle. ?

Severino isn't a good framer, might be costing him some pitches.
