Probably Thursday.

"Upon extensive consideration and a thorough review process, we determined that Jackson reached the milestones we set in place. He also met the targets and thresholds we envisioned. We are confident that this young player will continue the path forward and continue to check all the boxes that have been set in place for him."

Absolutely. Nice curtain call. I hope he catches on with another team. Seems like a fantastic guy with a ton of positive energy.

1st or 2nd against righties. Start it off with Jackson and Gunnar.

Most important question, who is going to buy the kid beer? Perhaps a clubhouse attendant, or does Gunnar let him borrow his ID?

Cowser looks so confident at the plate right now. He's putting together even better at bats than Adley and Gunnar.

Cowser is proving that he not only deserves everyday playing time, but being in the top part of the order. Gunnar, Adley, Cowser, and Holliday is an OBP buzzsaw. Put them at the top half of the order and let Mounty and Santander clear the bases.

This interview is priceless. I was surprised that he suggested allowing tack could be helpful, but makes sense. Really hadn't thought of it that way.

We have to show strength. We have to be strong.

Knocking on all the wood

J6 the Warehouse?

Fun fact: if squirrel makes you squeamish, it can be replaced with rabbit or raccoon in the same stew recipe. Rabbit tastes a bit more like chicken. But if you have some fresh venison that is a delicacy. Yeah, I grew up in the backwoods. My Dad had one rule: if you kill it you eat it.

I loved Enrique Bradfield's air traffic control after a double the other day. Wouldn't mind going with that theme, as our birds are in flight these days. Perhaps basic air traffic signals for more insignificant plays, and dramatic signals for clutch hits. With that said, I'm cool with the homer hose coming back. It is awesome.

Their SS and outfield were trash today as well...

For every Tony Kemp, there is a Danny Coulombe. We get frustrated by some of Elias' decisions, but he can find hidden gems.

Coulombe is nasty

He tried to take 3rd and was tagged before Mounty touched home.

Urias is so lost right now.

Wanna know what is more valuable than max velo and high spin rates? Pitching into the 7th inning. With the plague of elbow injuries going on right now, this fact needs to be reinforced.

The fact that he is getting playing time is an even bigger disgrace.

I surely hope Cowser wasn't a part of the Armenian Genocide.

There is no off-season for them to rest and recover anymore. Instead they chase max velo over the winter. @Can_of_corn would be pissed if I mention by name a company that rhymes with thrivetime.

It's on everyone: the players, the organization's expectations, hitters having advanced technology, and businesses like Driveline catering to the demand. I know you're looking for an argument, but the fault isn't on just one thing.

They are certainly part of the overall problem: instead of resting and recovering in the offseason, pitchers are doing the opposite and chasing max velo.

That's the reason. Same with the dozens of other pitchers that are set for TJ already this year.
