It might just be me, but your gif is extremely distracting when tying to read posts.

I'll change it for you bud.

I'm torn, because when I see it on the thread list in the Minors board, I know there is probably a video to watch.

I was listing the guys with the most upside. Several here are high on Long, he's absolutely a prospect worth following, I find it a bit curious that a guy with his success (was an all star this year) wasn't listed on our top 30 prospects list. His FIP & xFIP are both excellent & he's a ground ball pitcher which makes me believe he's got a decent chance to contribute. At 24 he's not old for AA. He's got 94mph & two decent offspeed offerings. I don't think it would be particularly surprising if he's in the rotation next year. I'm fairly certain Tony likes him a lot.

Thanks for the info. I have been planning to get down to Bowie to watch him pitch sometime soon. I need to hurry it up, almost out of time.

Got a new one that should be distinct without distracting.

The guys in the minors forum are planning a night to catch a game in Bowie. That lineup is special. There are a couple Long threads there, guys who have seen him & really like him who know far more than I do. It's nice to have a team with so many promising prospects in the lineup & the rotation with Scott, Long & my favorite Liranzo.

One of these days I'll have to learn how to create an icon.    That pinkish/purple F isn't really doing it for me.   I liked being a blank face better.

Here you go, these may be in the wrong order but from the phone it looks like this. 

Click the 3 horizontal lines on the upper right, then click account, then click profile, then click the little icon in the top left of the rectangle that contains your name, then load a photo you've saved or copy/paste the url of a photo you like.

*Edit, the last photo is the start, then work  up & you'll see those screens as you click the links noted above.

It's easier to change with a smart phone. Just log in and select an image from your phone. 

Santander needs to come up and play everyday. I'm sure we're going to wait the full 20 days. Austin Hays is looking like our own Clint Frazier. 

The orioles made it really easy to follow the farm. Just watch Bowie games.

Glad we stuck with him over Tavares. Tavares has a .740 OPS across AA/AAA.

And Tavares is 25 years old - he's like a poor man's Mullins.

By my count, Santander needs to be called up by next Wednesday, August 16.

You guys think Buck will give this guy a real chance? 

With us still technically in the race, Mancini in left, and Smith in right, I really don't see where he plays. Although Smith was out yesterday so maybe there's an injury. Just don't see where he fits in.

We may have found ourselves something special in round 2 of this thing. He certainly has the look of a special hitter. If he can make consistent contact his numbers could be really impressive the way the ball is flying around these days...that's what's so frustrating about Davis, just put it in play.
