As an outfielder myself, it drives me crazy when a major leaguer leaves his feet on a catch he could have easily made standing up. Style over points, I guess.

Good time to create a little distance here.

Statcast has Carpenter at 62nd percentile for arm strength, although they have him at 34th for arm value. I guess that means he’s not accurate, or maybe he’s late on the transfer. His real weakness, ironically, is range. A guy with good range might have made that catch on his feet. By the way, at some point, Statcast is going to have to add jump to its defensive stats. That would seem to b an easy one, they certainly already have the data in house. Maybe they could add route to ball and throw accuracy.

It’s official: Spencer Torkelson is born-again hard.

Cool!

Great catch by Carpenter, and really good effort with the pop and throw even though he didn’t have a chance.

At least they have white pants rather than pajama bottoms.

So, Beau Brieske is a fireman now? Cool.

I can see why they called it a single. It wasn’t an ordinary play.

I get pulling Mize, first game back from injury and all.

Mize looked like his soul left his body after the McKinstry drop.

Gotta make them pay for India’s muff of the perfect throw to get McKinstry.

Understood, but he is a black hole on this team and his card is a sea of blue.

I’m a bit surprised no one has yet mentioned that Dan Dickerson is not on the radio call tonight. He doesn’t have an active X or Bluesky account through which he could have told us why he’s out. Anyone know what’s happening? Is it because of graduations in his family?

Possibly, although that did not look like the kind of hit that would fool a competent big leaguer.

I am having my doubts as to whether Trey Sweeney will be a decent major leaguer. He’s not hitting and he’s not fielding. They only things he has going for him is speed and a little pop, neither of which do you much good if you’re walking toward the dugout after your at bat, as he is doing too often.

You must be thinking of Minneapolis.

I’m glad I got a chance to see him pitch. I will never forget his strikeout of Vlad Jr. in the spring game this March. It was electric.

That type of "Christian" likely believes Joe Biden is a demon. New Research Suggests That Belief in Demons May Help Explain Christian Support of Trump Republicans Call Biden Divisive While Equating Him To Satan and Hitler

Probably because Trump is such a factor of multiples worse than the Democrats that just about anything you can come up with pales by comparison.

That's fine because the Federalists needs Trump more than Trump needs them. So bye bye, Leo.

No poster here would ever say Democrats are infallible, so for ewsieg to set that as the standard for himself was truly, beautifully risible.

Yup, that’s me! We weren’t ready yet!

So eat cake before you drop, motherforkers.

Well, it's not like we couldn't see it coming from nine years away ...
