Great footwork by Westburg to around the ball.

Mounty absolutely killed that HR!

Boom! Adley!

Good stuff on the farm yesterday! Creed's HR was a laser! Of course Bradish and Bright! Looked like Acevedo would have been out at 3B with a more accurate throw. Silas might have a ML future!

The two pitchers before him threw 3.0 IP each. Then he threw 1.0 IP. The guy who came in after him let two inherited runs score. It's a mess.

By a nose...

https://basetunnel.substack.com/p/what-raising-a-chess-prodigy-has Jackson Holliday is only mentioned once but the whole thing revolves around "what next" for special savants...

10-4 while he's been on the team. I would have carried him a bit longer. But woof is an understatement. Here's to better days ahead for Jax!

Triple-slash as a team: .192/.266/.292. "Good" for a .558 OPS.

I think HOU will pick it up when some SPs get healthy. NYM has the horses and the motive, but they've been a grab bag of results. Ottavino is having a career year but if they are selling, he's a potential.

Yeah, the limited IP so far is small. But it feels like he's not at the right level of competition. Of course it's also as much competing against himself (pitch shape, location, etc. that the team tracks) as against the hitters too. Like you mentioned elsewhere, he's younger than DeLeon.

All of that is a fair argument. But the upside X factor on the yoots in question is there too.

I have to think SP injuries across the league has more impact than injured hitters. In theory, it should increase runs/game across the league. But as @Say O!said, CHW, MIA...

I'd like to see him promoted soon to see how his limited # of bullets perform this year against better competition.

All offseason some were fretting the 1-run wins, pythag, no Bautista, etc. I didn't think it would be as crazy as our concerns because our hitters are on their ascent or have high floors. Will the 2027 Orioles supplant the 1927 Yankee lore? Let’s go!

If the QO hurts his market, that could increase the.likelihood of him accepting. Then he can't be QO'd the next year. As Emmett said, he's pretty close currently. So 2024 will influence the teams and his decision.

That's what I was thinking too. Tough break for the LAA.

It's when a large market (non-revenue sharing recipient team) finishes low in the standings, it limits their draft slot. Hard to differentiate between sucking on purpose or more organic reasons... but the large market teams can at least band-aid the issue with money.

Yep. Wading through pages of drama just for the next nugget is tiring...

There is no rule. It's determined in the court of public opinion at mediated by the high priests of the media.

And that's why you have pitchers. Especially if you're targeting K%.

Yes!

It's a video game reference. But can't even picture the game.
