Yea I mean it depends if we agree that the bat is as ‘generational’ as some scouts are saying it is. I’ve also heard he has an excellent make up and great work ethic. In principal though I’d be totally fine with a second baseman at #1 if he could be a perennial all star and would sign under-slot Fine, let me rephrase: the pick could make sense for us as a pretty high upside bat who would take an underslot deal. I’m no fortune teller either. I like him better than Lee but that may just be my own personal bias as I’ve listened to some interviews with him and am just really rooting for him. I’d be happy with anyone of those guys except Lee, quite frankly. I also like Collier. That swing is smoooth.

I kind of have a funny feeling that Termarr is gonna be the pick and we get a decent savings on him. I believe he still hasn’t committed to a college and seems to have zero intention of doing so. Also, he doesn’t have the same hype he had this winter. I could see a deal being worked out. And quite frankly, I’d love it.

True, I misread your original post, my apologies. I do understand your point of view, but seem to have a different read on his behavior. Crazy how subjective human behavior is! Hoping his next post game interview is after a W.

Yes.

Strongly disagree. He came off as extremely candid to me and frustrated with himself and humbled by his tough outing on the biggest stage in his sport. For how much we complain about the lack of transparency from the FO, his candor here was much appreciated by me. Not sure why you’d prefer stock lines to this

This sounds about right. I’ll go with oblique strain for 6 weeks, though.

Yea I immediately googled him. I think the thread title is misleading as well. The one I started is better . Can they be merged? And I’m really liking Kevin this year. I watch lots of other team’s broadcasts on mlb.tv, and when Kevin is doing the game, ours can hang with all them in my opinion. Watch a Reds game or a even a Nats game for some perspective. Sure, he’s not Thorne, but he’s good and he’s growing as an announcer.

Lol with Chris Davis an expensive memory, and Adley on the field again, this is the new most depressing thread on the website. I come here when I’m feeling too good and need to even myself out. In all seriousness, has anyone noticed any mechanical differences in the swing from this year to last? If most of the Ks are swinging I’m fairly confident that’s what we’re seeing. Unless he’s just totally folding under the pressure of the Aberdeen spotlight.

This is fun.

I’d guess Wednesday or Thursday?

Looks like Ellis was pulled after one inning today with shoulder discomfort. Might Bradish get the call next time we need a fifth starter? I’ve got a feeling.

I agree we won’t see him til June. I predicted that a month ago on the first page of this thread. Still hope I’m wrong.

Organizational propaganda. As long as I get fed enough of this I never need to see him play.

I think he’ll clear. If he could field at all he definitely wouldn’t. But he can’t.

Ahh ok thanks for the correction. Pretty good K/Bb ratio

Ok, I’ll go ahead and start the thread. Do we think we’ll be seriously in on the bidding for him when he posts? For those that don’t know, Sasaki is a 20 year old Japanese pitcher who is perfect through his first 17 IP this year in the Nippon Professional Baseball League. I’m sure he’ll end up in New York or LA, but we can dream.

Haha pre-2021 Bellinger. Though with his K rate I feel like there certainly could be prolonged slumps like Cody had last year. Sorry, my phone won’t let me quote previous posts for some reason. And for the record: I don’t actually think he’ll be as good as Bellinger.

Cody Bellinger I’d say is his absolute upside.

His command in that K video is SHARP. Hits all his spots. Very exciting. Stay healthy big man!

I like the renovation. That nook in left field actually adds more character I think.

Well we can only go up from here. I think.

So you’re saying the first time you heard him you were enamored? I think anytime I hear a new broadcaster I have to feel them out for some time before I make a judgement. I’m still feeling out Kevin, and as I do so, I’m starting to like him. Hence, he’s growing on me. And agree, I really like Ben and find his small vocabulary act quite funny.

He’s really growing on me. He’s no Thorne or Miller, but I think we’ve found another good one. Agree? Disagree?

I agree with all of that. And it’s why I’m frustrated. Hope it’s indeed the case.

Is that what you think would happen, or what should happen?
