That's OK. Just keep the longballs coming and everything is good.

Maybe, but I think it's eventually going to get to the point where there are not enough MLB quality pitchers to cover all the innings.

For years, there used to be five guys trying to pitch 200 innings and everybody else pitching 75 innings max. That never made sense to me. You would think there would be another group which maximized their utility somewhere in the middle. Now that starters are pitching fewerinnings, we might find more more long relievers going 100-120 innings.

While unlikely, I don't know that a coordinated effort is far fetched. They could even have been recruited to do so and Bauer may have been seen as an easy target. On the other hand, Bauer is openly disrepectful of women, so it's also not surprising that he would be a serial abuser.

Meadows and Rogers had great springs.

He was the consensus number one. Pretty much every other team would have taken him. There are no guarantees in the draft. It's also too early to write him off.

It's not bad. The The offense is frustrating, but they finally have a tolerable broadcaster and their pitching keeps them in every game.

Sure, Cabrera was an elite hitter for most of his career and Canha is just average, but it has nothing to do with double plays. If one of Canha's double play balls went a couple feet to the right or left, then he would be clutch! Also, Canha is a better player now than Cabrera was the last 7 years.

I think Canha is one of their best hitters. Grounding into double plays does not make someone a bad hitter. Cabrera used to hit into a bunch of double plays every year. Canha's weakness is that he contributes nothing defensively.

Canha has been one of their best offensive players so far. McKinstry has contributed nothing. Not hitting into a double play? Is the bar that low now?

I agree that analysts talk too much. I'd be happy to see Benetti go solo.

The reason is because she was not funny!

He seems to be a show off, but he's just 19. I haven't heard anything that makes me think there will be a poblem with attitude or work ethic.

Yup, I have long felt that fielding was underrated, especially in a park with a big outfield.

I believe Benetti had something else scheduled. We will see Dickerson on TV a number of times throughout the year.

It sounds like today was a good day to boycott extra innings!

I still don't watch extra inning games because it's not real baseball. It's not a protest. I'm just not interested in watching that. Maybe if they are in a pennant race some day, I'll force myself to watch that fraud. Anyway, one game this season, I was working with the game in the background and I lost track of the inning. All of the sudden there was a man on second base and I got pissed at the pitcher. It think it was Lange. Not sure.

Bob Horner would be a decent outcome for Torkelson. I'll take a 127 career OPS. Sluggers are usually streaky, but all their production counts the same in the end.

That's what I saw too. They are usually up to date, but not as good as they used to be.

Justin Verlander gives a great answer to the pitcher injury question here:

Even Cliff Floyd likes it.

As someone who grew up with a Greek Orthodox father and Catholic mother, I always got the impression that Orthodox was the #1 Christian religion. The Catholics were not quite as solid, but a close second. The Protestants were a distant third, They tried hard, but their religion was too shallow. 😄

I haven't tried it yet, but I am sure I would do better if it was 40 years back!

I am not expecting SS cuts for me, but I am also not counting on getting full SS. I still say it's a fabricated crisis easily and logically fixed by dropping the cap.

And even if you can handle it, if you are obtaining it illegally, you face the danger of unwittingly acquiring a lethal dose of Fentanyl.
