Around Baseball 2023

Sounds like it's for longterm developmental reasons.

 

“We think there’s a benefit of playing against advanced competition and catching advanced pitchers and this is a group that will have chance to play together down the stretch and into the Double-A playoffs.”

 

I guess they think sending him to A+ was a mistake then.

[John_Havok]

On its face this makes no sense.

 

His numbers in A ball were not even dominant. 57 Ks in 48 games. Amazing considering his age but still... then the poor numbers in 9 A+ games.

 

There must be some other factor here. Some other piece of information.

 

From what i've read about him he earns incredible reviews for his defense... arm, framing, calling... the whole deal. Maybe they want to challenge him that way instead of offensively? Seems weird to me

When do C prospects truly work out based on the bat anyway.

[Stangstag]

 

Yeah that’s embarrassing

[wilko]

 

Garbage owner.

[Terminator]

 

This guy is such an idiot. This is the kind of crap Dick Monfort says.

 

Even if it was true, I don't know why he wouldn't just say, "we have a plan in place to be and remain competitive and I'm very confident that we will be able to execute that plan effectively." No need to start talking about how he's a poor billionaire lol.

Beer prices go from $10 to $15 now.

Apparently they're already $18 lol

That’s sad for fans obviously. They’re running it strictly as a business. If you’re going to run it as a business, you should just sell and invest in things with a better yearly return. Except franchise values skyrocketing is why they want to hold on to it

[Laika]

Kind of creates a weird vibe for players too

 

It's like high school. Scheduled graduations

I thinks it’s almost better that way. Don’t let somewhere feel like home. Don’t dig your roots in your mid-twenties. Play hard knowing you’ll get paid somewhere in your elite. Numbers are what get you paid

18 USD for a beer is nutty

[jaysblue]

$18 USD is even more than what they charge at the Rogers Centre. Crazy!

[Krylian]

Good news for the rest of the league that the Orioles won't be a long term problem.

[Krylian]

So Paul Skenes is dating gymnast Olivia Dunne?

 

 

[Brownie19]

Yeah buddy. He's living his best life right now.

[Laika]

Jarren Duran broke his toe or something

 

Huge blow for Boston right now

Crews should’ve gone 1-1 in this case. Of course, maybe he already did

[Ehjays]

 

 

This is another example of great ballplayer with the shittiest luck.

This should have went down ages ago.

Did you just call Salas a C prospect?

C stands for catcher in baseball Spanky and it’s 90ft down the lines. You’re welcome

Wonder if they were offered the chance to resign. I guess two people would tough to smokescreen though

There's also A/B/C spects, glad you aren't that stupid.
