Snyder and Bell out of the game; nothing screwy going on, it's their equivalent to the All Star game, so they're trying to get everyone in.

On the other hand, I am no longer interested.

Snyder's on deck. Must be the DH now.

Edit: Real nice line drive single. Caught it on video if you missed it. :D

Call me biased but that was the best defensive play of the night. :clap3: Actually, no...don't call me biased. That WAS the best defensive play of the night. :)

Thanks for the link. It is worth noting that Snyder was playing in at the corner and still made that play. The more I see of Snyder and Bell the more I want them starting in Baltimore come early June.

I too missed the Snyder hit. He did look very patient though at the plate for every AB that I saw. Scheppers looked really good, it would be interesting to see if he had the same confidence if he was pitching in the ML. I have never seen a pitcher hop around like that before when he was pitching. It looked like the kid on that movie with Keanu Reeves in it, Hardball when he was listening to the Biggie song with headphones on when he was pitching....and was dancing.....Leake looked really good too, I can see how he had so much success. Really wish I could have had a chance to see Erbe pitch though....

    • I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO 
    • Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry. 
    • Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?
    • I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
    • A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.
