  1. Did you read what he said???What he said at any age, is unacceptable and rooted in hatred. Hard stop. Not all “edgy” tweets are the same and your response tells me all I need to know about you as a human being.
  2. Evidently for the Os, the answer is to keep pitching to him and ignore reality.
  3. Love it. Glad to prove the haters wrong.
  4. Why in the world is Nevin still here with better options at Norfolk? Critical stretch, just strongly dislike the roster decisions here with him and Arauz remaining for the second half. Maddening.
  5. Actually, what a few said, including me (and Tony I believe) is that he was coming off major injury and to see him released so soon was puzzling at best. Likely, not going to be an AS but what’s the harm in giving him more time when there weren’t many better options at the time. But I know you love to poke at me when you have insulted Mateo’s value time after time despite obvious huge upside/potential. But hey, please continue mischaracterizing what people say and ignore your bad takes.
  6. I am out man. I am tired of the aholes on here. Glad they got Holiday, hope the rest of the draft turns out well. RIP Weams and the few nice folks on here.
  7. I don’t know many of you, including you, but you sure all have a lot of courage behind a message board.
  8. No, def didn’t know that. Family stuff yesterday. Thank you. Def alters things. I am not a fan of any of the picks after Holiday however. I think they needed to go pitching, pitching and more pitching. This first pick today better be a pitcher! It also sounds like Fabian was their plan b.
  9. Huh? Why in the world do you think that? First off, they most likely passed on Jones because he is a Boras guy, they will likely pass on Porter at 2pm (we will see I guess). If they are going BPA as you say, I guess time will tell at 2pm. Fabian they clearly are in love with for whatever reason, doesn't sound like BPA there. ..and....I don't think the other two guys were even remotely close to BPA.
  10. They altered his stance and he has seen immediately improvement. Palmer has discussed this extensively on the telecasts.
  11. We both know they think they are smarter than everyone else and bpa is not their strategy:) I am just thankful we got Holiday and not someone like Berry.
  12. FYI: I apologize if this has been covered previously, but Brock Porter has the same "advisor" as Rocker (Boras) so highly unlikely we take Porter. MLB Network on XM just speculated a deal could have been setup with Boras to get Rocker/Porter as a combo.
  13. Agreed on Porter, obviously would love to have him however. After robo umps are implemented, Robo pitchers will make drafting pitching a thing of the past. OFers will be made into pitching cyborgs. The lower the batting average in college, the higher the spin rate. Pure genius!
  14. Elias wanted Whisenhunt and miscalculated. But he “slashed”’ .239 as the Verve reports.
  15. Elias is so far ahead of everyone in mlb with his genius. He realizes that where the future of baseball is, pitching doesn’t exist. Genius!
  16. Wagner began the year on Clemson's bench and ended it with 27 home runs, third in NCAA. He is a draft-eligible sophomore with very little track record of performance, aside from his amazing 2022 sprint, during which he hit .369/.496/.852. Look under the hood and there is a little more swing and miss than average, both in terms of his strikeout rate (for a prospect, not compared to the average college hitter) and underlying swinging strikes. Things aren't in a red flag area so much as it's clear Wagner isn't actually a .380 hitter. This is mostly how Wagner's entire skill set reads. Aside from his plus arm, his tools are all about average. His swing is gorgeous and well-timed but he does tend to swing inside of sliders, and he does almost all of his damage to his pull-side. Wagner still has some "tip of the iceberg" characteristics, as he's young for the class, he hasn't played all that much, and he hails from a cold-weather state and entered college ball with less high-level experience than most of his peers. If you want to project on his hit tool based on his background, then he has a puncher's chance to be a well-rounded regular.
