Impressive defeat of Camilo Doval by Juan Soto to key the sweep in San Francisco.

Doval is functionally near to Felix Bautista and Mason Miller as hairy as a relief pitcher can get, but Soto's the favorite over just about anybody in the hitter v. pitcher building block of the game.

Gerrit scheduled to pitch AA tomorrow as we start to see how their Bradish scenario this season does at minor league game intensity.

What's the square root of 50...something like 7.1?    Even if both Bradish and Cole are 70% to be in the clear today, odds still favor one of them being absent by season's end.

Szymborski's June update projected East 2nd place to beat Central 2nd place by 7 games and I believe if they beat them by even 1 game, BAL-NYY is locked to the 5-game setting if it occurs.

Who had Juan Soto in the pool of who needs TJ first out of Kyle Bradish, Gerrit Cole and Juan Soto?

I hope Soto is good.     It is tricky dynamics between Boras Corp and NYY if anything is amiss.

I am merely guessing like Ohtani last year if need be he could DH indefinitely closing out an Arb-salaried season, though that might impact his start of 2025 availability for a FA-salaried season.

The Dodgers know his quality regardless of anything he does or doesn't do the next 4-5 months.

Luis Gil and Tyler Glasnow in the ESPN primetime Sunday night is pretty.

Last night on FOX I heard more than one instance of John Smoltz choosing "unfortunately" from his word book to describe ordinary baseball happenings to NYY.

Not that the networks and commissioner prefer one team over another, or would ever weight the tumbling dice, umpire scorecards or bouncing balls to create revenue positive situations.

With Soto missing time with his forearm issue, Judge seems to be taking on the frontrunner status for MVP.  His OPS is up to 1.137 and he just hit his 24th HR.  This season looks better than his MVP/62 HR season.  2nd would have to be a toss up between Cleveland's Ramirez and Soto, IMO.  I have Gunnar in 4th.  Just my personal ranking.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Rays are always picking up these relatively low rated prospects and a lot of them turn into something.  Like when the O's traded Tobi Wells (??) to the Rays and they turned around and traded him to the Guardians for Caminierio (sp?) and he's now a top 5 prospect.  Wells is still floundering around in the upper minors last I heard.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Civale has some value at 1.5 seasons left.  He also gets out of the AL East.  I expect we'll see some positive regression for him.  He's a fine regular season #4/#5 type.   We need to start thinking of arms, especially SP, as regular season guys that can get you through a 162 game season vs. guys you want being one of your 3 playoff SP.   Irvin, Suarez, Povich, Kremer, and even McDermott, are fine regular season options to get us through 162.  This year and next.  Couple those names with re-signing Burnes, along with a healthy Grayson, and with this lineup, you're going to win 90-100+ games a year.

      Bring up Mayo already!!

      He didn't appear very "rangey" when he was up but he made the plays he should have in a small sample. There were several balls he didn't get to that I thought Mateo would have. I think Norby has been playing LF in AAA.

      Is Norby that limited defensively? I like his hitting approach, but didn’t really see enough of him at 2B to assess. He’s also limited by only being able to play second as well, correct?

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Warehouse · Posted

      To that point, one area where Jackson has made some progress is on high velocity. AAA average whiff % for pitches with velo 95mph or higher= 25.6%. Jackson Holliday AAA performance vs pitches 95mph or higher   pitches JH Whiff % Sept 2023 43 38.1 Mar/Apr 2024 23 33.3 May 2024 52 25.0 June 2024 24 20.0 However, his overall whiff rate has consistently been ~27% over the first three months of 2024.  Additionally, about half his batted balls continue to be hit on the ground vs 42% AAA league average.

      Craig Kimbrel 2024

      By Malike · Posted

      He's got an outside chance of ending his career with the most strikeouts ever by a RP. That might help his case. Kimbrel threw 77 innings in 2011 with Atlanta.

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