LMFAO, funny I'm not sure Tatis ever stops talking...

He and Tatis Jr very different in this regard.

Hell yeah Vlad

Need Universal DH and all games 9 innings or f*** off

50 years from now these seasons will look so odd in BBREF history Even more so than 1994-1995 do now. Except at least we're having World Series winners.

So far this year in AA Martin has played almost exactly half his time each at SS and CF Still not sure where he ends up...

He and Bo can be hair buddies

Baseball America: 19. Blue Jays Pick: Gunnar Hoglund School: Mississippi Position: RHP Instant Analysis: With the 19th overall pick, the Blue Jays get the No. 19 player on the BA 500 in Hoglund. Until he had Tommy John surgery this spring, Hoglund looked like a potential top-10 pick, so the Blue Jays are getting a talented pitcher with a strong track record when healthy, but they will have to be patient for him to return at some point next summer. Scouting Report: A supplemental first-round pick of the Pirates in 2018 after he went 7-0, 0.27 at Fivay High in Hudson, Fla., Hoglund’s command has long stood out. It made him an immediate contributor at Ole Miss, and it has helped him be one of the best pitchers in the Southeastern Conference in 2020 and 2021. Hoglund’s 2021 season came to a premature end when he blew out his pitching elbow in his May 7 start against Texas A&M. His rehab from Tommy John surgery means he’ll be sidelined until midway through 2022, and it likely ended any chance he had of being a top-10 pick. But Hoglund’s body of work (154 innings in three years at Ole Miss) gives teams a lot of comfort with who Hoglund is—a relatively safe starting pitcher with plus command who has the ability to throw three pitches for strikes no matter what the count. Hoglund came into 2021 viewed as a starter likely to be taken in the back of the first round, but he quickly showed improved stuff. Hoglund had touched 95 mph going back to high school, but he generally sat 90-92. This year, he sat 92-94 mph. His slider got a little harder and sharper as well. Hoglund has shown he can spot his above-average fastball to the arm side or glove side, but he generally aims to keep his fastball away—he’ll work glove side to righthanders and arm side to lefties. He consistently wins at 0-0 in the count, getting ahead which means he can then attack righties with his above-average, 80-84 mph slider, again generally staying away. Lefties have to worry about his low-80s, above-average changeup, but he’s also shown he’s comfortable working in on their hands with his slider. It’s that ability to spot all three pitches and avoid the heart of the plate that is key to his success. Even after his elbow injury, he’s seen as a low-risk surefire starter with a consistent, easy delivery.

There's an off day on the 22nd so you can finagle it a bit to have our best against Boston Then again maybe we have a better SP than Matz added by that time (FTR I suspect they improve the bullpen further but probably don't add a SP)

He is right now He's also been a walk machine at times for years Ryu was better when he signed his first FA. His issue was injury history.

The Ryu deal 4/80 looks awfully good Would they go there for Ray?

I can't see anyone giving him 5 years at 23.6. Possible but seems unlikely. We also have some advantages 1. He seems to like working with Pete Walker 2. We will give him a qualifying offer, hindering his signability elsewhere 3. Payroll flexibility

Win the last game before the break against Tampa while the Yankees and Red Sox lose too Great day
