Got to see Creed in person today for the first time. Cracked an RBI triple in the fourth and then smashed the go ahead homer in the 9th to give Delmarva the win.

HR and a triple with 3 rbi... showing some signs of life!

Threw out two more runners trying to steal second tonight as well, six total.

Sure, but I’m sure his high school didn’t play six days a week.   

You are underestimating summer in Texas. If he played summer baseball, then he's dealt with incredible heat. I suspect he also played high school football in Texas...the summer and early "fall" practices are unimaginably hot. It's like living in a furnace even in September.

Willems was pulled after the second inning after taking a pitch off his throwing hand on a slider in the dirt he was attempting to block. They stole four bases off him after the injury, none of which were really his fault and then he came out of the game.

I assume he was able to throw the ball on those attempts.    I would assume they took him out because it swelled up on him.  Doesn't sound like anything serious if he was able to throw the ball after it happened but what do I know.

I didn't get to enjoy Frank's career as a 70's baby, but as a grown up felt some of who he is came through when he had this similar situation 16 years ago.

Bummer.

I will say this. After a slow start, he really started to show some promise. I don't know quite how much, but it seemed like he belonged, at a minimum, after he was able to get his feet under him.

Hopefully this is a short set back and he can continue to develop.

Since they didn't immediately pull him I doubt it's serious.

Very frustrating time with the sound on his other CS and the triple, but for now, here's a look (CS from his knees #1, 5/18)

I very much would like to see this triple. 😁

The triple from 5/15 was really poor video as far as showing him rounding the bases.  The triple from 5/18 was much better, tho I've got poor audio.  You get the idea tho.

He carries his weight pretty well. If he can keep it steady at where it is now, that should be ok I’d think.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By StottyByNature · Posted

      A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.

      Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.

      Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By waroriole · Posted

      Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash.

      LF is a bit of a waste of a spot for #9 hitter.  Its not a premium defensive position so you shoudl be able to get a decent bat who can also play there.  If you're worst hitter isn't an SS, C or CF, either you're contending for a WS , or something isn't quite right.  And this team isn't quite WS contenders just yet.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      A lot could change between now and then, but right now he's the 4th starter. I like Povich more than most around here and think he can be a solid 4th starter. He may have been command days, but he doesn't get hit hard.  The cool new Baseball Savant chart shows his fastball and curve and have above average movement and is why his slightly below average velocity (.9 MPH below MLB avg for LHP) plays up a bit.
