The recent performance has been surprising, but it shouldn’t be. The offense is starting to hit like it should. Imagine if we can get contributions from Turnbull, Skubal, Meadows and Carpenter?

Is there anything worse than Kyle Schwarber in the Cure Insurance commercials? Horribly written + stiff athlete spokesperson. A commercial director’s nightmare, through they are complicit, too.

Singuel!

Impossible to defend Baez’ throws. Tork has been bailing him out for over a season now.

Luke Gold underwhelming, too.

Tork probably should have had one, too, dropping the foul ball hit over his head.

Looked like he looked up when they showed the replay. He was definitely thinking of going home.

I hope he was on board with this decision.

Wow. Is this just 40 man shenanigans or do they really think he needs to work on something?

What could have been if his legs hadn’t failed him.

Troubling to see Graham and Santana struggling so badly at Lakeland. Hope they snap out of it soon.

This. And there will be more pitching injuries (it’s inevitable). Contenders will bid against each other. I would expect at least a J-Hen and young starting pitcher prospect in return.

This is one streaky ass team.

Or a dresser from IKEA

Schoop is still on the team?

JV goes down for the sweep

Meteoric rise to Toledo? Waiting for the Cody Stavenhagen expose about how Dingler sought out a Himalayan hitting guru who completely transformed his hitting approach in the offseason.

He broke the gun???? That’s the stuff of legends.

Of course having a bonafide 1B would help, too. And a CF. And a 2B. And a SS. 3B, too.

Saw that. I’m not sure he’s a starter in the majors, but could be a very good 1-2 innings reliever

Shep was talking about the crowds and how big and electric they will be. Does anyone believe that? I don’t think fans care that much about either pitcher now. Add in a bad team and early May weather and kids still in school.

Absolutely. I think where things become a bit discouraging is when most of your good prospects look like future bench players. I think Flores, Madden, Faedo, Hurter, Jung, Malloy and Keith will have major league futures. Maybe Wenceel, Dingler, Olsen and baby Meadows, too. Prospects are all on different timelines. Meadows took a while to click. Trei Cruz seems to be living up to his promise at Erie this season.

USA TODAY not a fan of our draft: NFL draft 2023 grades: Eagles lead top team classes as Cowboys, Lions flop https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2023/04/29/nfl-draft-2023-grades-cowboys-steelers-eagles-team/11764697002/

I don’t see us signing Bridgewater, nor him interested in coming here now. In the event of a Goff injury, Sudfeld will be the bridge until Hooker is healthy/ready. We’re a DT away from having a good defense that had already shown improvements in the 2nd half of last season and improved through free agency and the draft. I still think Holmes will make a few more moves—we’re probably in a place where we can start to trade draft capital, vs trying to accumulate it. As for SF, they have a QB issue—two young, unproven guys coming off serious injuries. Purdy was a nice story, but I wouldn’t want to have to count on him as my starter on a Super Bowl caliber team.
