Nice to see Myers finally make it. It was a long road with some bumps and bruises, but its good to see a guy I liked back when he was 18 in Aberdeen finally fulfill his promise.

He finally proved you were right - never should have traded him for Beckham!  😎

I'm officially beating the drum for Cesar Prieto.

He's 25 and has a .296/.339/.480/.819 line in AAA. I feel like he's more than deserving of a look for St. Louis. They have a 1st round pick (19th) Nolan Gorman playing there, I guess, but he's got a .665 OPS in 267 ABs. 

Call up Prieto! :)

The Brewers' starter last night was lefty Rob Zastryzny.   I guess an opener, he went one inning.   He was in camp one year with the O's but didn't ever pitch for us, major or minors.   He's 32 years old and his inning last night means he has pitched in the majors 7 out of the last 9 years... for a grand total of 60.1 MLB innings.

Yeah, I was not happy that he was the arm they sent, but Tampa knew what they were doing when they cherry picked him out of the options that they were probably getting. 

Saying that, it took him awhile and he never quite made it with Tampa, so sometimes guys just take a while. 

I do think it's cool if you go back there are guys I liked out of that draft including 11th rounder Zach Muckenhirn who at least ended up with a cup of coffee in the majors.

I won't root against the young man. I don't know if he has improved his defense, but his lack of real position hurt his prospect status overall. Saying that, an .819 OPS in AAA doesn't scream out to me with the way offense has been with the robo umps.

A .919 OPS doesn’t even scream out anymore.  Lol

    • While I am impressed with Basallo’s performance , are we forgetting that he is ONLY 19 years old ?  Or he is at AA level ?   And we want bring him up this season ?  SMH 
    • Considering who’s on the bench, this lineup is pretty solid. 
    • On OH? Come now, come now, you're much too dumb now.  No one is excluded from the Grand Counsel. Furious posting pace is all that is required. With a little hard work and dedication, you too can join the hallowed ranks.
    • The Yankees DH yesterday was Jahmai Jones and J.D. Davis was battling in the cleanup spot. 😬
    • Unfortunately, the game logs such as the one you linked don't show the catch probability of various plays.   So far as I know, the only way to find them is: 1.   Using a laptop or desk computer (not a phone), go to the Baseball Savant page for the player who made/missed the play. 2.  Scroll down to the light green ribbon and click on "fielding." 3.  Scroll further down until you seen the graph that shows distance and hang time on the two axes.  Each dot represents a play, with red dots representing catches made and grey representing catches not made.   From there, you have to take educated guesses as to which dot represents the play you are looking for.   When you click on the dot, a video of the play will come up along with a side box noting the date, and you can confirm if you found what you are looking for. 4.  Once you've found the right dot, you can hover the cursor over it and it will give you a catch probability.    It's a complete pain in the butt to have to do it this way, but there it is. So, I have done that for the three plays described in the OP: The Julio Rodriguez attempt on O'Hearn's double was rated a 15% probability catch, requiring the CF to cover 95 feet in 4.8 seconds. The Austin Hays diving catch was rated a 75% probability catch, requiring Hays to cover 37 feet in 3.3 seconds. The Anthony Santander sliding catch was deemed an 80% probability catch, requiring Santander to cover 98 feet in 5.4 seconds. For an extra added bonus, this July 2 catch by Colton Cowser in the LF corner was rated a 40% probability catch, requiring Cowser to cover 95 feet in 5.0 seconds.
    • And Mounty is 2 for 6 off of him. Let us read tea leaves Corn 😁
    • What about Chris Bassitt for the rotation? I remember some rumors that the Orioles had interest when he signed with Toronto. He's got about $33 million left for the rest of this year and next. Aside from the help for the rest of this year and assuming Burnes is gone, they're going to need an anchor-type who can give them 180-200 innings. I definitely wouldn't go Mayo, Basallo or Holiday in a deal but maybe a McDermott, a couple in the Norby, Beavers, Etzel, Fabian, Cook level and maybe one of the young international prospects.
