  1. HS baseball has to ban bat flips. HS football banned spiking the ball after a touchdown and it's time for baseball to do the same. That's just ridiculous.
  2. I agree. I would not like to be the team that gives him his big payday.
  3. For some money is a wonderful motivator.
  4. Thank god. It's amazing how uninteresting this team is when he's not in the lineup.
  5. So he made it up? Aren't there other stories out there about Mercedes being a bad dude?
  6. Did Binetti really just tell a story about when a team gave Mercedes to the other team because his team hated him?
  7. They need Tim back like they need oxygen. This feels like the longest DL stay in the history of baseball.
  8. He shouldn't be in this role. Pitching in short stints at max effort in high leverage situations isn't helping him develop as a pitcher. It makes less sense everyday.
  9. I'm sure they told Crochet to throttle back a little to save his arm the long haul. I just don't understand why they continue to put such an inexperienced pitcher in during extra innings when the smallest mistakes can cost you game.
  10. Gotta love putting your rookie with literally zero pro experience in all these lose/lose situations.
  11. That is so incredibly stupid. That is not what video replay was designed for.
  12. Bachman might be the most interesting player in the draft. It is so ugly and he does so many things wrong but what comes out of his hand is unbelievable. This will be a goood test to see if teams are getting less concerned about what happens in back and only interested in what happens out front because this dude is horrible in back and incredible out front.
  13. It's also ridiculous to compare other draft classes because the baseball draft is not like the football or basketball drafts. The best players aren't always taken in order because money plays such a huge role on who is taken where. For example the Cubs took Kyle Schwarber with the 4th pick and signed him for $3.125M while the Sox took Nick Madrigal and signed him for $6.1M. Factoring in the money spent greatly changes the calculus for those picks.
  14. D'Backs were set to take him too but they switched to Barrett Loux. It got the scouting director fired.
  15. They missed the second they took a no ceiling 2B only with the 4th pick. They wasted a rare opportunity to draft a high ceiling superstar for an avg run of the mill player.
  16. Yes. Rocker has been trending down his last 3-4 starts.
  17. Weird night for Rocker. He's sitting 91-93 and gave up a 3 run jack in the 1st. The next 5 innings he gave up 1 hit and struck out 12. He's throwing his slider a lot. His fastball and fastball command has not been good lately. Right now I have him behind Hogland and maybe Madden. He just gave up another tater.
