(Carlos Pena mode) Plataka!!

Under Avila I would disagree...but I have more faith in Harris to get something of value with a comp pick. Assuming he's still here

OKC reminds me of the Patriots in the early 2000's...tons of young talent with a chance to build a dynasty

RHP Jatnk Diaz from the 2023 class is having a nice season in the FCL...so there's a bright spot

I recall the talk being around Bouchard or Dobson ...I wonder if Zadina "falling" to them handcuffed them a bit. Most people thought he was going to be top 3 for certain, did Kenny and the boys scout him as heavily as they might have scouted the guys that were ranked a little lower?

Brebbia DFA...Tyler Owens called up. Fetter can't fix everyone

1970 5-0 playoff loss to the Cowboys. They went on an improbable run to make it as a Wlud card only to lose 5-0....who loses 5-0

Excellent play by Marchand...but Walman was horrible on that goal

Gotta tip your hat to Elly on that one

My favorite TV pairing is Jason and Carlos Pena. Carlos has a knack for concisely discussing the finer points of hitting. Plakata!!

There's a kid from my daughter's HS that spent some time in the majors after going to college...he was a three sport star in HS, but baseball was his best sport. Scouts knew who he was when he was 11 or 12

Can't believe Jace Laviolette has fallen off so badly..looked like a top end talent in last year's CWS

Yatnick Diaz is off to a really nice start in the FCL

Henning is the King of not letting ish go...CF Adames, Willy

Jason is a product of the era...pop culture and social media fluent and kind of a non linear thinker. If you are not in tune with that ...I imagine it's annoying. Having been asked by people more than once in conversations "how did you get from point a to point in b mentally" I'm good with it. I think the Petry broadcasts are better because he's more anchored in his approach than Dirks...sometimes Jason, Dirks and Daniela go off into space on some weird observation and it gets annoying

The success rate on elbow surgery is better than shoulders...so at least there's that. He had a stress fracture to his spine last year...those are very hard to recover from. I wonder if that injury created a change in his motion that put more stress on his elbow

GFY

Can we stop pretending that Beau Briske is a major league pitcher?

Toledo is an underrted city for fun stuff. Great zoo...amazing museum..pretty good symphony orchestra. A little too much gun play in some parts of town, but that's true of a lot of places

On the farm? Franyerber, Anderson, Jace Jung...maybe Matt Manning

Wings were rumored to be signing Euro goalie Arvid Holm...I wonder if that's still a possibility

Suarez would be an interesting add....

Stevie signs another goalie.. https://x.com/m_bultman/status/1932598981324046598?t=HTjzuHzUWI0rHLY5_aV70Q&s=19

Plakata!!
