I hate bloat-ware.

I posted it because I'm mean. Dude reminds me of Froggy from the Little Rascals.

He's looking like a classic one hit wonder reliever.

Just because I'm mean.

They check for Spidertack over there? Oh what a cool rabbit hole I just found. Effect of grip-enhancing agents on sliding friction between a fingertip and a baseball

I don't think anyone is suggesting he's starting at Catcher too often. The issue is the lack of any full days off and coming into to catch after DHing when they've had three Catchers on the roster.

I mentioned Gunnar as an exception. Perhaps he was enticed by the draft pick?

As far as I'm concerned Mullins gave away the at bat. At least Mounty got lucky.

He probably still is. I'm sure Donaldson won't stop being one when he retires.

If they had data to support it but I've never seen any.

They didn't really ask him to do more in the minors. Looking at him he should certainly be able to go 100.

As long as he doesn't start an Onlyfans.

Norfolk should be doing to the International league what the Rays are doing to the American league.

Almost as if promoting a guy just because of a hot streak doesn't work.

You asked. I'd be pretty shocked if Elias hadn't "contributed" to the Aiken and Appel picks. He was the scouting director.

You have me confused. I'm not talking about the trades the Astros made, I don't think Elias had much to do with that. I'm talking about the pitchers they drafted early in the draft when he was the draft guy.

Would be cool if we had a pitching coach that could help with something like that. Oh well maybe he can start throwing a sweeper?

He did with the Astros.

I go with what is easier to spell if it's clear whom I'm referring to. Just in that instance it was an easy quip to make. Only thing better than low hanging fruit is fruit that has already fallen onto the ground.

Elfin is a last name?

Didn't get what I was trying to say eh? I was implying that the O's haven't developed Hall. He's the same guy now that he was when Elias showed up, minus a bit of fastball velocity.

What's the excuse for Hall?

Problem is Gunnar is a Boras client. I don't think Boras is some mastermind but players that pick him as an agent aren't generally cheap to sign.

I would. I don't think Elias would.
