If we are talking highest floor.... Pillar Highest present value.....Pillar due to that floor Highest ceiling.... I could probably be swayed for arguments for either Grichuk or Hernandez

With Freeman's injury last night, that path to 1b/3b might be a bit shorter. Right now they are saying the injury isn't serious and it's not a re-break, but it was on the exact same same bone as last year's break from a Loup pitch.

Players of the Day: Kacy Clemens, Nash Knight, Riley Adams, Vlad Jr Honourable Mentions: Bradley Jones, Jonathan Davis, Patrick Cantwell, Francisco Rios

FFS.... wasn't his injury last year also from a HBP?

yay, gibby won the a challenge for like the first time in 5 years...

no way that was a catch, overturn incoming.

lol pillar, only he can swing at pitches that are half an inch from hitting him

I'm not familiar with that person

If i was Kennedy I wouldn't be throwing strikes either, his last 2 strikes traveled a combined 900 feet or so

Back... 2 Back... JACKS

i was trying to find that exact clip of the song for a embedded GIF but i was on my phone and it seemed like way too much effort for the very slight comedic impact.

That means you do care.... at least a little

Because someone in MLB thinks they need to get the average age demographic of baseball viewership from 55 down to .... 50

I know what people find entertaining is pretty subjective... but Barker is only entertaining to me in the "should be at the ticket gate of a circus" type of thing.

Every date in high school I ever had.... Thanks for opening up old wounds.

PLayers of the Day: TJ Zeuch, Samad Taylor, Cullen Large, Nash Knight Honorable Mention: Cavan Biggio, Juan Kelly, Andrew Guillotte, Lourdes Gurriel Jr

Stick a fork in the Royals, when you're giving up rockets to Pillar, you're done.

The plate is 3 feet wide today though... kinda hard to protect all of it

That's pretty much Tabby on the button, though I'm not sure "intelligent manner" is the right phrase. He just doesn't speak in the way our demographic needs to take in information. I don't care about players thighs and how big they are.

It's possible he knows a lot about baseball, but listening to him talk about it certainly isn't evidence of that.

Buffalo and New Hampshire both rained out, Dunedin and Lansing were off. So here's to the f***ing weather http://replygif.net/i/181.gif

No kidding, I wonder what weekend it will fall on this year

That's about every other day in Alberta this spring. Calgary is getting 20 cm of snow today

Vlad Guerrero Jr. was named the Eastern League Player of the Week on Monday. Analysis:The 19-year-old is on a tear to start his first season at the Double-A level. Through nine games, he's hitting .361/.419/.639 with a pair of homers. He has more walks (five) than strikeouts (four), just as he did at both of his minor-league stops last season. If his hot start continues, he could be up at Triple-A before long, which an outside shot at a promotion to the big leagues at some point later this season. Also named as the #4 on the first BA Prospect Hot Sheet of 2018: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Blue Jays 3B Notes: Team: Double-A New Hampshire (Eastern) Age: 19 Why He’s Here: .361/.419/.639 (13-for-36), 7 R, 4 2B, 2 HR, 12 RBIs, 5 BB, 4 SO The Scoop: Guerrero looks more like a major league veteran on a rehab assignment than he does a 19-year-old in Double-A. A teenager among men, Guerrero hits the ball like a man among boys, showing 70 raw power in batting practice by hitting the ball out of the stadium to his pull side and drilling line drives that carry all the way to the right field fence. The frightening part is that Guerrero’s power might end up being his second-best tool. He combines ferocious bat speed with great bat control, excellent strike-zone discipline and hitting acumen far beyond his years, making him one of the game’s brightest young hitters.
