Not sure if any of you saw it. I had MLB Network on and looked up and saw everyone shaken up, then saw the replay...it was not pretty, reminiscent of McCarthy's liner to the head last year. Really hate to see that happen to anyone.

Weird that McCarthy is starting tonight and his name was going across the bottom as that play happened (in the video above). Immediately that's what it reminded me of. I didn't watch that one in real time though so I have no reference as far as how long he was down, etc. To me it looked and sounded worse, but good to see that he was conscious and responsive leaving the field.

That was cringe worthy, and really unsettling. I hope he's okay and comes back really quick, nobody should have that happen. I keep thinking if only pitchers could wear batting helmets, or something more protective on the mound, but I don't know how possible that is.

Sure hope and pray he will be okay. Pitchers may have to start wearing helmets.

I don't know if it is possible. That is sure hard to watch without your emotions

getting to you.

      Holy cow dude. Do you have to mention Quintana in every post you make?

      Trade Suggestion: Steven Matz for Urias or Mateo

      I think we already have #5 type guys.   We should be aiming higher.

      Sorry to derail the thread. I was having a crap day yesterday when I took it out here. I appreciate the words of support.

      I like this idea.  Maybe he's not ALWAYS the closer, but he has the stuff to be a very good high-leverage guy.

      2023 Top 75 Prospects

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Bucce is one of those guys that finally hit a little bit last year, but didn't get a ton of playing time overall and 20Ks in just 74 PA gives me pause when it doesn't come with any real power. He'll have to make Delmarva next year and we'll see how he does. Anderson DeLos Santos is still a bit interesting and I actually wrote up a quick bio for him before I knocked him off the list: Only 19-years old last season at Delmarva, Del Los Santos didn’t put up all that impressive of numbers including a 104-31 K-BB ratio in 421 PAs. But he has a little pop in the bat and although he made a few too many errors, shows some athleticism at 3B. Probably will need to repeat Delmarva next year at 20-years old but has some tools to work from and worth keeping an eye on. Same thing with Heid: Put up good numbers at AA holding batters to a .185/.280/.265/.545 slash line mostly at Aberdeen. Got a late season callup to Bowie but at 25 years old, he's long in the tooth for a prospect. He's a 91-93 MPH guy with so decent carry and his slider flashes average on occasion wit good depth. The stuff just doesn't suggest he's going to have success at the major league level though. I also did Kade Strowd who got bumped at the end. Kade Strowd: Fastball slider pitcher that sat 94-96 but who can flash 97-98 on occasion. The slider has high spin and late break and can give minor league right-handed hitters fits, but he doesn't have much to defend himself against lefties and his command wavers too often. As for Heid, the stats say he's worth watching, but the age and stuff go "eh". Can't rule him out, but I didn't see anything that suggested major league stuff.

      Robertson on a 1yr/10mil deal seems about the most we can afford. If that’s all we have to spend then I hope we trade for Quintana and put Wells at closer.

      Elias has said he would like someone with closers experience. Not really sure why that matters. I also think they only want a one year option at closer. I get that they expressed interest in Hader, if that’s true, but that really means nothing with this team.
