What action? Those bats are still shattering.

That's been MLB's goal since 2008, when bat breakages reached an all-time high, with approximately one per game.

Over the past four seasons, MLB has made a concerted effort to make bats safer through specific programs and regulations. In the process, there has been a steady decline in broken bats.

Constant for the past year, breakages currently occur at a rate of around a half-bat per game. Last season, the rate was .50 multipiece failures per game. The most up-to-date breakage information for this season shows a rate of .53 bats per game.

What are we going to do with all these outfielders?

Last year, the AAA-Tides missed the lone wildcard playoff spot in the International League on a tiebreaker to AAA-Rochester. Both teams were 77-67, but Rochester won the season series.

They were eliminated on the final day of the season by AAA-Durham (the eventual International League champions) in 10 innings by a score of 1-0.

The Tides don't want to miss the playoffs again this year.

Colvin was one of the multiple "key" parts from the Cubs system discussed here as part of the return for BRob when those talks were going on. I don't think any of those Cubs prospects considered for BRob amounted to much.

Exactly. The OH was saying, you want BRob, we can start talking at Colvin. I think at one point it was Fuld, Cedeno, an okay pitcher who has gone on to be league average, but I can't remember the other two. All for BRob. But none all that great.

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
