My feed has dropped so far behind real time it's like there's a different game on here.

The logo is downright weird though.

I don't know what Carlos is smoking calling Riley selective in that AB. He swung a three pitches all a foot outside the zone....

Gutsy takes by Gleyber.

The angle makes it seem unlikely but the way he looked off suddenly was like the lights got in his eyes.

also would have been nice if Wenceel had enough arm to at least keep the runner at 1st.

there was a time in baseball when Witt got a sacrifice and no AB for that.

Defense not making it easy for Casey tonight.

damn. If India's cleats had been a mm shorter he slips down and can't make the play.

I have an issue with Gania - maybe a technical production one - but he needs more compression on his mic because his voice trails away on too many syllables, i.e you can't be in the next room and still hear what he is saying. That usually a sine qua non for a good radio guy. His production team could he helping him out there, but isn't.

Nice finish by Casey.

Sweeney is still short of 300 MLB PAs. Can certainly still go either way with him.

Sweeney has to make the play - screened maybe?

neither one of these pitchers is fooling too many people tonight.

I would guess the elimination of MiLB bottom rungs has widened the gaps between the remaining levels - the net effect being AA is now further from the Majors than it used to be.

So typically, they shut a guy down and hope, then after 4-6 weeks he starts a rehab, then 2 wks later as the rehab is winding up they announce he's having TJ. ..........🫤

From what I remember, Ryan didn't throw a slider either - at least not early (the AL part) in his career. He started out as mostly fastball/curve, and when he couldn't control the curve (which was most of the time), he walked a lot of guys (career OBP against >300). When he could land the curve, it was a no-hitter waiting to happen. Ryan was 33 and back to the NL before the first time he had a walk rate less than 4/9IP.

LOL - 180 yrs ago there were white Americans that thought this would be a good idea for freed slaves. This should work out about as well as Liberia did.

Exactly right.

There were two dissents, but what is the logic of saying the exec can't change a status that it had the sole discretion to confer in the 1st place? It's exactly that kind form of logic that underpins bad decisions like Citizens United (e.g. a corporation is a creation of statute law that the court put beyond the reach of statute law). I'd love for there to be a better strategy to stop the cruelty of this admin than asking the court to practice bad logic.

SGL with 5.1 IP, 1R, 1H, 5K, 0BB, gave up a solo shot in the 1st. Not 3 HR but Jahmai Jones with the just about as rare 2 triples in one game.

anything is possible but Hinch talked about him quite a bit in the post game and gave no indication anything was amiss. Could always be something didn't feel right this morning... and Olson was eligible as of today.

the worst news is that it's not Parker - who isn't playing for the Hens tonight.

it's all good

90+ pt teams 9 of 12 years. He's putting a team on the ice that has a real shot almost every year - he'll get a cup if he keeps that up.
