Indeed. And stealing signs.

But it’s not cheating some say….?

There were so many guys better to pick in that Rule 5 draft with high ceilings. I gave up looking at mocks for this org, just ends in disappointment.

Pretty much. Someone got a favor is my guess.

Nepotism. Yep. I’d rather have kept the pitchers from last year.

Milb.tv App! Highly recommend!

for the Tides! Seems like he can hit!

Who replaces Harvey? There are only so many DFA-ed starting pitchers. Id recall Jannis the knuckleballer. They aren’t trying to win, knuckleballers can eat innings…st least it would be fun

Try a snot ball!:)

Wow! Elias culture likely. By any Means necessary. this is disappointing, and I love Means, no way that’s on him, no way, it’s likely a culture. Disappointing that so many orgs just follow along without speaking out. It’s also quite comical we hold baseball to a higher standard than our politicians.

Excellent point on Gaylord Perry. It is so beyond disgusting that Bonds and Clemens aren't in the Hall. Pete Rose threatened the game itself, I don't disagree with his ban, that is different for me. But Bonds and Clemens, while both annoying, belong in the hall. At least their won't alleged murderers or in the Klan like many in the early years. Sorry I digress, just frustrating how baseball judges arbitrarily. Edit: and of course Joe Jackson should be the first player put in, the worst injustice in baseball is Shoeless Joe

Wow, this is eye opening. Thank you for posting. Elias (formerly of the Houston Astros as we all know and their history of getting the advantage by any means necessary) sure does talk a lot about spin rate....

Does anyone know if that poster Luke who was awesome with Prospect analysis still works for the Os?

Agreed. That pick seems like nepotism to me. Wells has promise.

They won 3 straight, Elias getting uncomfortable.

Does anyone have the full list by chance? I would be curious to see it.

Thanks for posting this!

Wynns got a hit! Woohoo!

It sure is telling of how poorly this organization is run that our fans are clamoring to trade our best home grown SP since Mussina. All you need to know about people’s confidence in the “Rebuild”. This team likely won’t even try to compete until the change in ownership is complete. 1983 sure was a long time ago…

Correct. Our old Rochester Red Wings.

He had his debut tonight and got the win in a 19-1 victory, wowza! 5.2 innings, 1 run, 6 hits, 3 k’s.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/06/nationals-sign-josh-rogers-to-minor-league-deal.html I don’t know a ton about him but my initial reaction was being surprised he wasn’t given more time coming off a big injury. I am curious if anyone has any feedback on him being cut loose. Obviously not a good start to the year before getting cut.

I am quite curious what changed as well. Maybe his $1.8m bonus money running out. He was 2018 before Elias, correct?

I love him. I strongly believe he is a great manager and will be a great one at the major league level at some point. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Spring Training, such a class act. Does anyone think he can replace Hyde? Just curious.

I honestly have no confidence that Elias would even take Green with the number 1 pick. Elias really stunk up that last draft and he’s clearly scared to take a pitcher in the first because of his two busted picks with the Astros. In fact, I don’t think he took a pitcher until pretty late last draft. Not a good long term strategy and being “Gun-shy” results in bad decision making.
