O'Hearn with the hard hit!

Schneider looks like such a dork.

He's got a 4 digit OPS there in like 180+ PAs.  I guess he could be getting lucky?  But I'd rather bring him up to find out.  I don't love that a lot of his power seems to be opposite field?  But he's still obliterating the ball.

There's also a huge difference between AAA pitching and Major League pitching. Everyone wanted Cowser to be rushed to the Big Leagues and we can see now, that wasn't the best thing for his development.

Contrast that to Westburg baking in there too long and Westburg has been able to hit Big League pitchers better by comparison.

still a long way to go...but  if we can get a run here...it would be huge...

Dam* O'Hearn is good.  Time to give Fllaherty a little run support.

Hot fixing already?

Naw, what worked in Early Access might not work at launch.

In this case I moved the undead before I opened the door that reanimated them.  Now, you try and move one and they all animate.  Worked out OK tho, I ended up in a nice spot to fight them.

He's out of shape. Certainly a great talent. Just like Manoah

He has the talent, but at this point, 2021 is an outlier season for him.  He’s been a significantly below average player in 60% of his seasons, a slightly above average player in one, and an MVP candidate in one.

See ya Kevin "It's embarrassing, to be honest, to go out there and do that against a team that I think we should beat. It may sound bad to say, but I think we should beat them more than we should lose to them" Gausman.

It's terrible when the players are honest isn't it?

I wonder what his comments will be like this Thursday.    The 2022 vintage:

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman wasn't pleased with his performance against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday during his team's 10-2 loss.

"Unfortunate to put the team in that situation," Gausman said, according to the Toronto Sun's Terry Koshan. "It's embarrassing, to be honest, to go out and do that against a team I think we should beat. Maybe that sounds bad to say, but I think we should beat them more than we should lose to them."

Bowden Francis is on the All-Country Club WASP team with Dansby Swanson, Whit Merrifield, and Stuart Fairchild.

Doesn’t mean we can’t make fun of him for it. 

[emmett16]

Just missed it! 

[Ripken]

Certainly take that!

Mountcastle is unstoppable.
