Lol the fact the team has Wong, McKenna etc. as a talking point when you have all these "Top Prospects" Is just hilarious. . . Can't keep blaming Angelos anymore.

Hey, if using a good Wong pun is Wong, then I don't want to be right!

This could go either way but right now I'd predict he makes the team and gets some starts for the first few weeks. With a high likelihood of becoming Infield Brett Phillips and an underdog shot at becoming Infield Aaron Hicks.

Elias has a fixation with retreads.

But it was never Angelos. It's the CBA. As long as it's written the way it is, this will continue to happen. It's simply good business sense. Nobody should trade ~30 games for 162.

Apparently he realized he picked the Wong team to try to get a roster spot on! 

I do think this is a pretty good indicator that Holliday will make the team.

Hmm....may want to check the other posts/headlines before posting.  😉

To be clear, I was laughing at the Wong pun, not the fact about it being a good indicator that Holliday is going to make the team.

      And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.

      IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.

      I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.

      ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....

      Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
