I just don't see him as the Golden Boy he is made out to be

He's 19 years old, he has 21 HR, and 17 SB in the Major Leagues. He's 19 years old. You can count on both hands how many players in the history of the game have had better seasons as a 19 year old, I suspect. He's been worth 4.5 WAR as a 19 year old. I can't emphasize that he's 19 years old, enough.

Absolutely right and if Harper is not a stud, then Manny ain't much either, especially since he is older and the Manny I am seeing is unreal!

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I had never heard of Luke Dickerson before.  His HS is about an hour away from me.  Baseball America does a top 500 ranking.  I thought I’d find him in the top 100.  Nope.  I searched by “Luke” and he popped up at #311.  That’s some late riser!   Here’s the write up.   Is he supposed to be in top 2 rounds consideration? 311. Luke Dickerson SS Ht: 6'0" | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Age: null School: Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. Commit/Drafted: Virginia Age At Draft: 18.9 Dickerson has been one of the better offensive performers among high school hitters in the northeast, which along with his athleticism has piqued the interest of scouts. Dickerson, who won a hockey state championship in March, has a strong, compact frame and plus speed. Scouts highest on him see an offensive-minded righthanded hitter who has shown solid feel for hitting and for the strike zone with the ability to use the middle of the field, along with an uptick in power production this spring. Dickerson has played shortstop but has experience in the center field as well, with second base or the outfield potential fits for him long term.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Santander has not had an off day since 5/30. Tomorrow would be would a good day to gives Stowers a RF start and Santander a bench day. Did it yesterday with Mounty it also could work with Hays or Mullins. The could easily get him 3 or 4 starts a week, whether or not they do is another question.

      Os claim Levi Stoudt

      By bpilktree · Posted

      He is a starter filling in for an injury and 6 man rotation.  He won’t be a starter when Kremer comes back and we go to 5 man rotation.  He is the only guy that has started a game this season and not given you 6 innings at least 1 times.  That includes guys like Means, Wells, Povich Kremer & Irvin.  You can’t be a starter on a contending team and never go at least 6 innings, that is how you do wear out a bullpen having to get 10+ outs every turn through.

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Mt. Holly · Posted

      We should trade for Crochet. He has already exceeded his previous innings pitched. We put him in the bullpen for a couple of months to strengthen the pen and save his arm. Build him back up to start for the stretch run and playoffs if needed. Next year, when Bautista is back, he becomes a top tier starter again. He solves our bullpen concerns for this year and starts next year.

      What’s the preferable way to win a 2-1 series?

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Yes, 109 is the key... anything below that is just, well, meh.

      I chose the second option.  Resiliency.  Split the first two, but come up big in the deciding game of the three game set. My other option was win one, lose one, win one and find out Gerrit Cole's rehab was blown to shreds.

      I've been told that winning 2/3 every time and a 108 win pace is unacceptable.
