Kinda funny story, I went to Jacob Turner's debut(the game before the infamous Guillen/Weaver game) and I didn't realize I was sitting right infront of Jacob's family. Anyway Turner was looking so so and my friends and I were like "He doesn't look like a top prospect to me" among other somewhat negative comments. Then we see a cameraman and Chris Rose(it was a national fox broadcast) park in the aisle next to us and start interviewing his family. We immediately turned around and apologized to them if they overheard us talking about him and the Dad was like "No worries, I thought he looked bad too." lol

I feel bad for the families during these debuts.  They just want to watch their son/brother/grandson play. They’re probably nervous enough to begin with.  Then they get a camera jammed in their face.

Nice to see Schoop hit the ball hard a couple times and get rewarded for it!

I wish they would just go back to pinball machines.

I was rooting for a wild pitch.  Alas, can of corn to left.

According to baseball savant Tucker Barnhart only has 1 barrel all season. Unbelievable!

I vote luck. If Avila knew enough of what he was doing to earn credit for it, he wouldn’t have gotten pantsed on so many drafts, trades, and free agent signings. 

I think drafting is His strong point. If he would have stayed in that role and Illitch hired an actual GM things might be different.

I should knock on wood before typing this but Willi seems to be getting more comfortable in the OF. He's getting a lot better jumps then before.

That was mentioned in another thread yesterday.

Then the Turning the Corner podcast mentioned it this morning (or yesterday when they were taping it).

I can't watch this game because Bally's has the wrong Zip Code for me.    And I can't change it to the right one

It wants to know my cable provider.   I have the streaming service because I don't have cable.  ITS THE REASON I SIGNED UP FOR THE STREAMING SERVICE !!!!!!!!!!!

Hill needing only 64 pitches to get through 5 so far.

If you’re managing, is the bullpen throwing yet?  I’m granting him the 6th.  If runners get on, then I’d call down there.  But I want to see him in the 6th and he has a chance for the 7th at this point.

I can't remember who the player was, but I remember seeing a clip of them doing one of these interviews and the players dad was just completely wasted.

I appreciated this comment in isolation.  I was just coming back from a bike ride.  This is an evergreen sentiment.

This is the chief selling point for VPNs.

He absolutely should get to start the 7th at this point

I've had issues with both Bally and Fox apps where they put me in a completely different market for some reason.

Jeff Weaver or Robert Fick?

OK, so leading off will be Jose Ramirez followed by Josh Naylor.  Still trotting Hill out there?

[RandyMarsh]

Whoa just saw a Drew Smyly jersey with the camo lettering in the crowd,he has to be the only person in the world to own that.

They charged my credit card TODAY and now I can't watch.     I should have known.  Sinclair is a horrible company

It's telling me my Zip Code is 48120.......................and that doesn't match their records. BECAUSE AT NO POINT DID I SAY I WAS IN 48120..............BUT I CAN'T FUCKING CHANGE IT 

[RandyMarsh]

Looks like Chafin is coming in, as good as Hill has looked it's probably the right call. It's a tough task facing Ramirez for the 3rd time.
