  1. Considering he got right back up and wanted to continue, my hope is that he's fine and won't miss his next start.
  2. Not really. If he's a catcher and he hits like he's hit in May, he may be the more valuable player. You could see he, Moncada, and Jimenez competing for an MVP award at some point.
  3. He got it done. Barons win.
  4. I wondered how Hamilton already gave up a double, then I remembered the dumb new rule change in the minors this year.
  5. Walk rate up to 25.8% for May. Eloy with a 2 run single gives Birmingham the lead.
  6. They've got a very good OF, and their starting pitching has been fantastic. The Sox are going to get something that contributes to the ML team out of that Kanny rotation.
  7. The next Democratic president may need to pull an FDR and expand the court to 11 justices.
  8. Collins in May (21 games) .319/.489/.551 1.040 OPS 25% BB 22.8% K 5 HR 11 RBI 17 R
  9. I'm surprised more power hitters who get heavily shifted against don't do this more frequently. Keep taking the free base they keep giving you until they stop shifting.
  10. They're not going to rush him because the big league club they expect to win roughly 60 games has a need. If he keeps hitting like he has since April 24, however, he might be seen on a Chicago roster near you in mid 2019.
  11. Bohm did Thomas's signature 2 strike approach, complete with bloop single to RF, in one of the videos I saw. That's what sold me on the comp in that regard.
  12. Bohm is worth the pick at 4. Not saying he'll be anywhere near the hitter, but his swing and approach remind me a lot of Frank Thomas in the video clips I've seen of him.
  13. Collins 2-2 up to .260 on the year.
  14. Cease also. Anyone watching the game care to share how he looks?
  15. If Micker keeps hitting, you might be able to put him in RF and Robert in CF.
  16. Collins, Zavala, Dunning, Hansen, the few pen arms in AA and AAA, the crapload of talent in WS and Kanny, and the #4 overall pick on June 4.
  17. You're wrong. If you can get an Eloy like prospect or a package like the Nats gave up for Eaton, you do it. If he wants to be here for the competitive run, he can be resigned in 2020. I like Abreu, but stacking the deck as much as possible for 2020-2023 has to be the organizational priority right now.
  18. Or wait for Collins and potentially have a generational talent at C. One of those two.
  19. Damnit, Ron. This isn't how it works. You're suppossed to talk about how awful and terrible he is so he performs like a star. You know, like you did/do with Abreu.
  20. This is where I say if we change the messaging to focus on economic issues, especially in a place like rust belt Indiana where all the steel mill and factory jobs people used to come from around the country to get have evaporated, we could get a progressive Democrat in the Senate or House.
  21. There only was and ever will be one Spygate, it was worse than the Black Sox scandal, and to date those cheating bastards haven't been appropriately punished for it.
  22. I still don't trust the establishment Democrats to turn on their corporate masters when the time comes. On an unrelated note, Joe Donnelly represents the problem I have with the system. I want a better choice than he as a candidate for senator. There isn't one. He ran unopposed in the primary and I found out that Indiana's laws don't even allow me the option to write in a candidate in a primary election.
  23. Only 15 of 48 voted correctly on banking deregulation, why would I expect them to vote correctly on a financial transaction tax or a tax increase for the wealthy, for example?
  24. I suppose I should change that from "some Democratic politicians" to "most establishment Democratic politicians".
