The "Gunnar Henderson treatment" is a bit of misnomer, since he didn't enter 2022 on the Major League radar. Keeping him down until August wasn't a slow play -- it was a fast play compared the ETA of late 2023 or 2024 you would have given in March of that year. Happy to hear that Mateo will be used in the OF. A Mateo that can play at SS and CF has a lot of value.

Before my time

Something about Bradish being number 38 is upsetting. It's a low-tier number, for the Jimmy Paredeses of the world. Should have gone for 37.

In the last three seasons they have gone from 10k to 17k to 24k. I guess a linear regression would bring you to 30k but I would predict/be happy with closer to 27k.

Two passages stand out to me: We have heard "weeks, not months" for a few days but this is the first time I've seen a real time estimate. I remember a while ago a rumor going around that the family would either choose to or be "forced to" sell the team once Peter died, but I don't recall anyone reputable confirming it and it seemed as much wishful thinking as reality. But I guess it was 100% true.

The ultimate professional prospect: appeared on MLB.com's and Baseball America's Top 100 lists five times each. Not too many guys can say that.

Wow, I really didn't think anything like this was going to happen

Hell yeah!

Big time play!

Does anyone know what the actual rule is? I know for going to second it has to be a bona fide "attempt" (hence the Mancini call was wrong) but in this case is it solely a matter of positioning?

At least he's been consistent, nothing high but everything else goes

I don't think it does

love it!

.790 xBA, 10/30 HR. And the third out

One way to get a run!

Those last two balls both had xBAs of .930 and they were both outs

That was such a Mountcastle AB

That's two punchouts of Soto now, lost

I'll take it!

Great outing, now let's get him the W

That slider is working

He is in command

Never in doubt, on to San Diego!

Something is in the water..

my gosh!
