so Hays, you walk down on 3-0 setting the umpiring crew on a journey of self awareness and major league baseball into a two minute review only to swing at the first pitch and pop up to 3B?

Well, to be fair, he swung at the first pitch of the game and hit a HR

So far not ambushing the way they did in 2014, now to see how often they attempt to steal. 

Man we hated that playoff series.

Still can't believe KC got a title out of that team. They went from complete irrelevance for 25 years to a mediocre team that somehow made a run and then back to complete irrelevance. I believe George Brett is their only hall of famer in 50 years.

Funny that we're paranoid about relocation and they seem to be sitting pretty and moving into a new stadium.

But it's a beautiful telecast w nice camerawork and good color announcing. The story from the woman field announcer on Wells' diet effort with his wife during the off-season was small, but made him more of a person to me. The graphics' handling of stats is several levels above the normal.

Yeah, she did her homework and explained the story well and did get in eh way of the action.

They had a 3-headed monster in the bullpen that completely dominated the late innings.

Compared to the first games, Apple's baseball production has really snapped into shape. It's an easy listen, informative without being intrusive or overbearing, and the switching between cameras, depths of field, levels of description, and announcers is flawless. I'm impressed.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
