Mountcastle got a single yesterday, and a double today.

So he should get a triple on Tuesday, and a home run on Wednesday.

I think you math is off.

The single was his final at-bat, right?

If it was, then he is due for a triple his next time up, and a HR the at bat after.

The math is correct for both presumptions.

One for games, the other for plate appearances.

If it's the free game of the week on MLB TV, could they at least relax the blackout rules so I could watch live for once? They are losing out on so much money, because I would gladly pay the yearly cost if I could actually, you know, use the product. 

I love seeing some new guys get shots on the roster. Valaika did show some power in Colorado, so maybe he catches lightning in a bottle again this year. Love seeing Mountcastle and some of the younger guys get a shot.

    • I don’t think he’s trading those guys for a RP even if he’s controlled. I could see them adding a legit bat or a SP that’s controllable. 
    • 2022 Aberdeen - .221/.298/421.    31.8% K rate  7.7% BB rate 2023 Bowie - .251/.320/.456.         24.9% K rate  8.3% BB rate 2024 Norfolk - .296/.396/.486.       19.3% K rate  12.2% BB rate  
    • I’m going to preface this by saying (1) I expect to get crushed for bringing it up and (2) it shouldn’t impact trade deadline strategy.     I think Felix is going to pitch in the playoffs. There is nothing I have to go on other than gut feeling, in fact Elias has clearly stated otherwise. But I think that is what he is shooting for. I bring it up only on the premise of having a guy in the bullpen who could miss bats.  They could have him be a situational guy and leave Kimbrel where he is for this season. 
    • For Norfolk, Cook has started 29 games at 1B with a .996 fpct. and 5 games each at LF, CF, RF.   He started one game at 3B and made an error and at lower levels played a decent amount of 2B.   I think he’s probably an emergency/last resort guy at 2B/3B and @Tony-OH seems skeptical of his outfield defense in general.  Saying all that, with a LH heavy hitting OF he has a decent shot as soon as next year, especially if Norby gets moved.  Norby, with the ability to play LF/RF/2B would probably be his chief competitor for a backup role.  Also depends on what they do with Hays.
    • Your definition of what we need and @Bemorewins definiton of what we need may be different.    Getting a #3 starter he feels confident as a game #3 starter in the playoffs.   Who, in his mind, is that pitcher?   Fedde will not require one of those guys.  Crochet might.
    • We do not have to give up Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo to get what we need.
    • So you think Elias will give up one of the top 3 prospects to get upgrades?
