  1. Damn Urshella, what a play.
  2. Grichuk in second half mode.
  3. Hopefully Kevin Smith is figuring some stuff out in AA. 2-4 yesterday with 2HR 3-5 today with a HR a 2B
  4. So pretty much he's gone for sure by July 31st.
  5. Not exactly what he said. He said if teams had another month of information on him he would've gone 1-1 and pretty sure nobody thought that was foolish as he was already killing it in Vancouver.
  6. Notables from last night Miguel Hiraldo - 2-5 1HR 1K hitting .315 Kloffenstein 4.2IP 1H 4BB 3K 81Pitches Philip Clarke - 3-5 2B hitting a blazing .500 to start his pro career Pardinho - 5IP 4H 1ER 1BB 5K 76Pitches
  7. Chapman's dad is choking.
  8. He doesn't look tired? Guy looks winded af lol
  9. He hit 440Ft in the first 3 pitches.
  10. It's free on mlb.com https://www.mlb.com/video/live-t-mobile-home-run-derby-c2525683683?t=home-run-derby
  11. Back back back back back...
  12. That's about what I would really want from the Twins if they aren't giving up any of their top 3.
  13. It's sad to even think any of those three would be included in a Stroman deal but it's kind of what I expect from Atkins.
  14. Nate Pearson jumped to #16 from #29 on BA's top 100. Bo still #5 Groshans moved up from #42 to #41
  15. Biggio is easily becoming my favorite player. I love that he has such a great eye at the plate.
  16. He played Canada day, he needs the 4th of July off.
  17. Pretty sure he got the highest signing bonus in the entire 2017-2018 class.
  18. Absolutely whoever they get back need to be a top 100 guys or someone who is just about to break into the top 100. No more McKinneys and Drurys.
  19. This is just cool to see.
  20. Small article Davidi published on BA about Monoah. Alek Manoah put himself on the Blue Jays’ radar last summer, when the 6-foot-6, 260-pound righthander led the Cape Cod League in strikeouts. From that point forward, area scout Coulson Barbiche and regional crosschecker Michael Youngberg kept close tabs on the West Virginia ace, who continually impressed them with a simplified delivery that helped him repeat his mechanics and improve his command. By the time the draft rolled around, the Blue Jays were all in on the 21-year-old from Homestead, Fla., selecting him with the 11th overall pick and signing him for the slot value of $4,547,500. "We really love what Alek brings to the table and his 'now' stuff,” scouting director Steve Sanders said. "But we do see room for him to continue to develop and continue to improve. He’s got a really well-rounded three-pitch mix (fastball, slider, changeup) we think is going to play at the next level.” The potential really showed in 2019, when Manoah pitched to a 2.08 ERA over 108.1 innings, with 144 strikeouts against 27 walks. Those numbers blew away his first two college seasons, when he alternated between starting and relieving. As a big guy with a lot of moving parts, Manoah understands that leveraging his size is no simple task, but he developed his mechanics on his own, finding a "delivery that is molded to me.” "I don’t really have one major league pitcher in common that I can think of who I really follow,” he said. ". . . I learned my slider from a Dellin Betances cutter grip and a Chris Sale slider grip and kind of just molded it into one of my pitches, which really helped me . . . "I get a bunch of different guys who do things I like and study stuff and how it would work with me. I put it all together, try things out. Some things work; some things don’t. It’s a work in progress and it’s been a good work in progress so far to this point, and there’s a lot more work to do to evolve into a big league pitcher.” JAYS CHATTER — Righthander T.J. Zeuch debuted at Triple-A Buffalo after recovering from a lat strain, while fellow righty Jon Harris rejoined Double-A New Hampshire after overcoming shoulder trouble. — Shortstop Jordan Groshans’ breakout at low Class A Lansing was on hold because of a stress reaction in his foot.
