Of course their HR numbers would be boosted by a little league wall in left. If you look at his spray chart from 2021. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ryan-mountcastle/18373/spray-charts?position=OF&type=battedball&pid2=18373&ss1=2021&se1=2021&ss2=2021&se2=2021&cht1=hittype&cht2=battedball&vs1=ALL&vs2=ALL

And that might not be because of the wall. And it's fewer.

OK tell me what I was doing!

I don't think Hays and Mountcastle have been hurt that badly. In 2023 Mountcastle Home HR-9 Road HR-9 Hays Home HR-9 Road HR-7

I was speaking in the general, as I often do. I'd rather have a guy tell his manager he's done than a guy that talks his manager out of pulling him when he's gassed. Five good innings is pretty much the standard these days.

I think a fair amount of folks playing are the sort that cheat at solitaire and they fill out their grids with Baseball Reference open in another tab.

I'm in favor of guys knowing when they've lost effectiveness over guys that want to tough it out and get blown up.

Folks it isn't as if he's going to go from 50 HR to 5.

I don't think his excessive honestly is what kept him from passing the bar.

He's a Catcher, it's almost all hands on deck for Catchers at the beginning of Spring Training. 100% he's there.

Can they get a stadium in Vegas by 2027?

So the next open date is now in 2027.

I kind of wish I was. That wouldn't have been a bad joke...by my standards. Naw, I just meant McCann proved to be a very serviceable backup.

It could, but I think the probability is very low.

Barring injury the O's won't need a backup catcher this season.

I hope he's good enough that it becomes a problem.

As stalkerish as you have been in the past I'm not eliminating any possibilities for you.

I don't actually fault the O's for him not having enough at bats to lose his status. He struggled mightily and the O's were fighting for a playoff spot.

Correct. A non-competitive team could have given him more at bats last season.

Some teams he wouldn't be a prospect at all.

Hey now, he watched a ton of film in a span of less than an hour, show some respect for the work!

I don't know.

Ok Carly Rae.

Isn't this the same role he had a couple of years ago?
