Yup rude awakening for the minor leaguers with that splitter

Nah MLB broadcast in general is having an issue for multiple games; I am just watching the Royals stream right now.

They are getting some good contact on Kevin

Technically, if it was Montoyo's lineup: Springer walks, Bo walks, Vladdy DPs (Springer at 3rd), Kirk singles - so we score a run.

Rip

Thank you BABIP gods

"Whenever you put pressure on the defense, if you make a pitcher aware of whats going on the bases, mistakes tend to happen a lot more" - Schneider. My kind of guy.

Nick Pratto: 130 wRC+, .858 OPS, 337 PA AAA || Currently riding a hot-streak in minors: 179 wRC+, 6 HRs across 20 games. Nate Eaton: 157 wRC+, .979 OPS, 165 PA AAA Considering the rest of their lineup (below), I am quite scared (and excited) for their debuts. Though Gausman's splitter might be a rude awakening lol. Olivares: 120 wRC+, .737 OPS Witt Jr: 105 wRC+, .740 OPS Rivera: 92 wRC+, .709 OPS Pasquatino: 87 wRC+, .627 OPS Lopez: 64 wRC+, .574 OPS O'Hearn: 30 wRC+, .467 OPS Rivero: -58 wRC+, .125 OPS, 8 PA Majors

=== The Blue Jays will have Kevin Gausman take the mound for the 19th time of the season to open the series. Gausman exited after tossing two scoreless innings against the Rays in his latest action in a game the Jays lost on July 2nd. He only missed one start after taking a line drive off his ankle. The veteran right-hander is having a marvelous season in his first year with the Jays, sporting a 2.86 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP complemented by a 6-6 record in 88 innings of work. Gausman allowed five runs in 3.1 innings in his only career meeting against the Royals. KC Royals will send Andrew Zerpa to face the Blue Jays on a short rest as he pitched 2 innings of relief three days ago against the Tigers. During this outing, his first in the majors, he looked sharp allowing only 1 hit and no runs while facing 7 batters. The Royals will be without the majority of their major league roster when in Toronto having moved ten players and three coaches to the restricted list. Tonight, there will be at least two major league debuts in Nick Pratto and Nate Eaton. === Lets go Jays! Schneider Era is upon us! Danny Jansen is online!

lmao

Bird hit .218/.325/.354 (.679 OPS/85 wRC+) in AAA this season and was 5-34 (.147) in his last 10 games. How about that, maybe there was a reason he didn't make the roster off spring training

https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2385844 Looks like Bo wasn't that big of a fan of Charlie

Angels trade Tyler Wade to Yankees for PTBNL. I thought that said Taylor Ward and did a double take lol

He's unf***ing real right now. Solo carrying whatever hope Angels have left. Also, Gonsolin is never going to lose a game; every time he is on the verge of losing a game, Dodgers stage a comeback to save his record. Came back from a 6 - 0 deficit today.

lol KC Royals reddit changed its name to Omaha Storm Chasers

Ross's interview responses are as good as his pitching today lol

Shrugs, that was the list. I don't have access to BA so not sure if they have an explanation as to why - but that's what I got off someone who does have access to it. Might just have to be that it would be easier for Groshans to develop power than Martinez to develop discipline.

Top 30 Midseason Update: 1. Gabriel Moreno 2. Ricky Tiedemann 3. Jordan Groshans 4. Orelvis Martinez 5. Yosver Zulueta 6. Nate Pearson 7. Sem Robberse 8. Hayden Juenger 9. Leo Jimenez 10. Luis Meza 11. Spencer Horwitz 12. Gabriel Martinez 13. Nick Frasso 14. Maximo Castillo 15. Dahian Santos 16. Adrian Pinto 17. Manual Beltre 18. Addison Barger 19. Trent Palmer 20. Otto Lopez 21. Tanner Morris 22. Irv Carter 23. Samad Taylor 24. Adrian Hernandez 25. CJ Van Eyk 26. Kendry Rojas 27. Yhoangel Aponte 28. Luis Garcia 29. Estiven Machado 30. Dasan Brown --- Yosver Zulueta, RHP (Moved from unranked to No. 5) The last time we updated our Top 30 lists, Zulueta had made just a few appearances with Low-A Dunedin. Since then he’s had major helium around the industry as a legitimate pitching prospect. Now with Double-A New Hampshire, Zulueta has risen three rungs up the minor league ladder in his first healthy season. On the mound, "Zulu" is electric with a fastball that sits 97-98 mph, touching triple digits with late life, and two average or better secondary pitches. His slider may be his best pitch, sitting mid 80s with sweep and depth. Zulueta will throw all three of his pitches, including a high-80s changeup with heavy arm-side run, for strikes and will mix up his sequencing from at-bat to at-bat. Spencer Horwitz, 1B/OF (Moved from No. 17 to No. 11) A bat-first player who's done nothing but hit over the last two seasons, Horwitz has a strong balance of skills at the plate. He shows excellent plate discipline, above-average bat-to-ball skills and above-average game power from the left side of the plate. Promoted to Triple-A on July 5, Horwitz is on the 40-man roster and just a call away from the major leagues. He’s not your prototypical first baseman but his ability to make contact, get on base and do damage is hard to question. He has a chance to be a second division regular. Gabriel Martinez, OF (Moved from No. 30 to No. 12) One of the more underrated hitters in the Blue Jays system, Martinez may be the position player that’s made the biggest jump in 2022. A strong combination of bat-to-ball skills, power and barrel control make Martinez a name opposing evaluators are smitten with. It’s a bat-first profile as Martinez is likely a corner outfielder long term, but it’s a pristine swing with a knack for finding the barrel. Martinez is still very aggressive but rarely strikes out due to his ability to get the bat on the ball. He projects to be a potential everyday regular in the corner outfield with the ability to hit for power while limiting strikeouts. Nick Frasso, RHP (Moved from unranked to No. 13) One of the best athletes in the Blue Jays system, Frasso returned from Tommy John surgery in under 12 months and was back pitching in the Florida State League by mid-May. He made seven stellar appearances for Dunedin, striking out 42 over 25.2 innings while allowing just two earned runs. Frasso sits upper 90s on his four-seam fastball and generates whiffs on both his low-to-mid-80s slider and his changeup. He’s been limited to four innings per appearance but should continue to build up following his early July promotion to Vancouver. Max Castillo, RHP (Moved from unranked to No. 14) An under-the-radar breakout prospect from the early part of the season who's risen all the way to the major leagues, Castillo shows excellent feel for his three-pitch mix and the ability to miss bats with his fastball and slider combination. Castillo doesn’t have tremendous power or movement on his arsenal. He does show the ability to consistently execute his three pitches to their intended zones and can drive both groundballs with his changeup or miss bats with his fastball and slider. Now handling a swingman role for the Blue Jays, many evaluators feel Castillo is a starting pitcher long term.

Rays took 3 off Sox (4th game tomorrow); Mariners won. That means there's a 3-way tie atm for 2 WC spots (Sox - Jays - Ms) Yankees are losing atm 6 - 5 Stanton HRs, 6 - 6 (lol 345 ft - Porched)

Weird; its on their travel website though. You need to have proof of vaccination. Maybe they aren't enforcing it but the rules haven't changed. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/proof-of-vaccination.html

Hehe; Phillies off to Miami no? Good luck!

Omar! Need the GIF!

Maybe they don't check border between us or US is lax at the border - but you can't fly into the US as a non-US citizen without proof of vaccination.

Schneider Era baby. WE WINNN!!!!
