Did you ever see that mic'd up clip where Mountcastle was singing karaoke with Adley and Stowers while they were waiting for the bus before a toad trip? It was pretty funny and definitely showed Mountcastle to be the life of the party. The guys really seem to like him alot.

Missed that one.  Sounds funny.

Weams and I told everyone - multiple times - when we were standing on this one street corner...

Sounds like the stage name for the lead singer of an all-female Boomtown Rats tribute band.

I feel bad for the Yankees being in last place.  Said no Orioles fan, ever.

And he just threw a perfect pitch that caught the corner of the zone for strike three and the ump called it a ball

I was referring to the 2 times tonight he hit a batter on a 0-2 count.  But yes, the umpire has missed 2 calls that should have resulted in a strike out.

Getting blanked by a 6+ ERA bum and our bum is throwing a thousand pitches an inning to a AA lineup. 

This is the stupidest post I've read today. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you aren't one of the best 750 people in the world at whatever you do to make money, are you a bum?

I gotcha. Few things piss me off more in baseball than hitting a batter you have an 0-2 count on.

      ??? The only sports where people peak younger than 20 is stuff like womens gymnastics and figure skating, where women have to delay puberty in order to maintain a body type ideal for the sport.  Nearly every other sport's athletes between 22-27.

      Ok several of you want to compare JH to Gunnar.  I am happy to do so: JH is 20 years old and has a .909 OPS at AAA after putting up a .941 OPS as a 19 year old at four levels. As a 20 year old Gunnar had a .826 OPS across three levels, .944 at A, .775 at A+ and .561 at AA (5 games) Even at 21 Gunnar went back to AA for almost half a season and his OPS at AA was .894 I am not saying JH will be as good as Gunnar but people saying we should trade for some pitcher we could have for a year or two have lost touch with common sense.

      To be honest i wont know.  I know im in the absolute minority here but when the robo umps show up, im outa here.  Im barely hanging on now due to the recent rule changes the last few years.  Baseball and football has changed so much lately ive really lost interest.  I actually just cancelled Fubo just so i can save some money.

      That's a good point as an OF I read swings but it's different on dirt.  I could freeze knowing my speed would make up for a poor read-no time to do that on dirt.  There was more time to think in the OF which was good and bad. To your second point- I didn't think about it until now but in my coaching experience some kids-the really good OF's were just flat out better at tracking balls than others-combination of eyesight and instincts-not sure but you brought up a good point.   JH would likely be an plus CF given what we know about him but it will take reps otherwise you're giving up outs and advances.  FWIW-Slotting JH into CF would run somewhat counter intuitive to drafting EBJ and Josenberger (who really only provide value in CF) in the last draft.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      I understand but again a contending team is not going to trade a good pitcher for someone who can leave the team end of year.

      First of all, pretty much everyone that wears an MLB uniform is a good enough athlete to play just about any sport to at least a d3 collegiate level, and likely d1, Holliday included.  The only exceptions would be people that have hard size limitations.  (e.g. Corbin Carroll or Jose Altuve are unlikely to be football players simply due to their size.  And Altuve isn't going to cut it in basketball for the same reason.)  But for sports like skateboarding or any swing sports like tennis or golf?  I guarantee JH could be a high level college athlete if not a pro player if he focused on them.  If you're arguing that Gunnar has athleticism/body control that's elite even among MLB standards, and Holliday doesn't.... maybe I'd agree with you?  But Gunnar is always going to have his arm tool over Holliday.  In my limited time viewing Holliday, I'd actually rate Holliday's body control to be better than Gunnar's, but a large part of that is because Gunnar is 6'4" 220, and Holliday is 6' 190.  I'd also say that Gunnar having the body control and athleticism he has given his size is pretty exceptional, so if you want to bring up his combination of size and athleticism/body control, I'd agree with you.   But you're coming off like Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite, while implying that someone who's like 89th percentile sprint speed isn't an elite athlete even among other MLB players, and that is just outlandish to me.
