Season over.

KevinGregg doing it up right today

It's weird seeing so many empty seats on opening day.

Greg Bird is not good at the baseball

I love Skip. I gained like 10 pounds after having it for a like a month lol

Did you use Ubereats or Skip for that bad boy?

Is that the appetizer before you crack a bottle of the hard stuff?

Not if Pendleton keeps drinking French Vanilla's for breakfast.

Okay. And the most important question of the day; What are you having for opening day breakfast?

So who took off work today? What's everyone's plans for the games today?

Let's Go Jays!

Someone make the GDT?

I would like to give myself a pat on the back from increasing my hockey knowledge from like 4 players to like 14 players.

Forgot the " That's what she said"

You need to pay for a subscription for this high quality work, but yes.

Boxy's favourite baseball writer wrote a little blurb on a couple draft specs. Jen Mac Ramos: Bryson Stott, SS, UNLV Stott looked very quick, both at the plate and in the field. He has excellent bat speed and a swift uppercut punch for a swing, but he adjusts well to drive balls in the upper part of the zone. You can beat him up there and get him under it, but it’s a risky proposition. Premium velocity may pose issues, as he tightened up in my look against pitchers throwing in the higher bands. On the dirt he showed quality range and quick feet, and his throws were accurate from a variety of angles, though he forced one he’d have been better served eating. He handled himself well at the six despite muddy conditions, with quickness to overcome the sloppy track. It’s an impressive package. Andrew Vaughn, 1B, California Vaughn is shorter and less bulky than the typical first base/DH type, but there is a ton of compact strength in the upper body. He’s reasonably nimble around the bases and shows above-average defensive capabilities moving around the first base bag. His patience at the plate stands out, as he shows a comfort and willingness to work deep counts until he finds a pitch to drive. The power is evident, though he got under a few balls for weaker flyball contact in this look.

B+.

Everyone post your teams and i will decide who's best. My decision will be final though and binding.

Go Sens GO!

BA updated their mock. Sorry for the formatting 1 bal400x400.JPG Adley Rutschman Oregon State C Notes: Yes, Andrew Vaughn came out of the gate hot, but let’s not forget what the top prospect in the country has done to start the season. Rutschman is hitting .456/.619/.895 with eight home runs, 26 walks and 10 strikeouts through 18 games. His power production is up. His walk rate is up. He’s eighth in the country in batting average, eighth in the country in home runs per game, fifth in slugging percentage and second in walks per game. He just went 7-for-11 with two home runs, three walks and two strikeouts against UCLA, the No. 1 team in the country, last weekend. Let’s not get cute and overthink things here. 2 kc400x400.JPG Andrew Vaughn California 1B Notes: Vaughn is hitting .426/.593/.836 with eight home runs, 21 walks and eight strikeouts. Among this year’s draft prospects, Vaughn might be the fastest mover once he gets into pro ball because of how advanced his offensive game is. He’s played 18 games so far this season and has multi-hit games in eight of those. In the six games that he’s gone hitless, Vaughn has still gotten on base and walked nine times. Both Bobby Witt Jr. and C.J. Abrams should be in play here as well. 3 cws400x400.JPG Bobby Witt Jr. Colleyville (Texas) Heritage HS SS Notes: With the top college hitters off the board, either Witt Jr. or Abrams makes sense at No. 3. Perhaps the White Sox are still enamored with bat-to-ball skills after taking Nick Madrigal a year ago, and In that case Abrams would be the player over Witt. But if the Texas product does hit, he’s got the most upside of any player in this draft class. He’s looked good this spring as well. 4 mia400x400.jpg (1) C.J. Abrams Blessed Trinity HS, Roswell, Ga. SS Notes: Abrams rarely swings and misses, and he’s an 80-grade runner with premium defensive value whether he sticks at shortstop or has to move to center field. The Marlins have loved going to the high school ranks with their first-round picks of late, taking a player of that demographic with each of its last five first-round picks. 5 det400x400.JPG Bryson Stott Nevada-Las Vegas SS Notes: At this moment, we feel reasonably comfortable that the Tigers will be picking among a field that does not include the names who’ve gone with picks one through four. There’s plenty of time for that to change, but for now, Stott seems like a good fit. He’s getting more of his lower half into his swing and has gotten stronger to hit with more impact. Stott has already passed his previous season-high in home runs with five just 22 games into the season. 6 sd400x400.JPG Riley Greene Hagerty HS, Oviedo, Fla. OF Notes: There’s no prep lefthander that makes sense here, and without an option to trade down and get one at a pick that fits, we’ve got the Padres taking the best hitter in the prep class. Greene fits here on talent, and it would make back-to-back years that the top high school hitter in the class went at pick No. 6, after the Mets took Jarred Kelenic a season ago. 7 cin400x400.JPG Matt Allan Seminole HS, Sanford, Fla. RHP Notes: It sounds like Cincinatti has been watching Allan closely this spring, and he’s been arguably the best-performing prep pitcher in the country to this point. Multiple scouts and teams have said there’s a real argument for him as the top pitcher in the class. Allan has a traditional power-arm profile that includes a fastball up to 95-96 mph, a plus, 12-to-6 curveball and a solid changeup with a strong body. 8 tex400x400.JPG Kameron Misner Missouri OF Notes: Misner could certainly be in play higher than this. He recently went 0-for-16 in a three-game series against Arkansas and a midweek game against Murray State, with seven strikeouts and no walks, but he’s still hitting .306/.462/.541 with a team-best five home runs this season. It’ll be worth watching to see if this is just a blip or a sign of things to come, but Misner has huge tools to get excited about, including 70-grade raw power. 9 atl400x400.JPG Hunter Bishop Arizona State OF Notes: We’re once again giving the Braves a college hitter after mocking North Carolina State shortstop Will Wilson to Atlanta in our last version. Bishop has a much more exciting toolset and is an impressive athlete with above-average or better running ability and double-plus power. He’s quieted his approach this season and it’s so far allowed him to cut down his strikeout rate in a significant way. After striking out in 32 percent of his at-bats during his freshman and sophomore seasons, that rate is down to 15 percent through 19 games in 2019. 10 sf400x400.JPG Josh Jung Texas Tech 3B Notes: Jung finally hit his first home run of the season last weekend against Texas—it was a rocket pulled over the left-field fence—but most scouts aren’t worried too much about his lack of power to this point. His track-record of hitting in college stacks up with the top players in the class, and most teams believe he’s a safe, high-floor player with more power in the tank down the line. 11 tor400x400.JPG Corbin Carroll Lakeside HS, Seattle OF Notes: As if a mock draft in March wasn’t already guess work, this is where things really become a toss-up. We’ll have more info on what teams in the middle of the first round and later are doing as we get closer to the draft, but for now these are just players who might make sense down the line. Last year the Blue Jays took a polished high school hitter with their first pick, and Carroll fits that bill as well. 12 nym400x400.JPG Nick Lodolo Texas Christian LHP Notes: Lodolo has an argument as the top pitcher in the class—college or high school—and he has done a nice job of missing bats with a fastball that hovers around 93 mph and a plus slider. His changeup could be plus as well, but he doesn’t throw it a ton. 13 min400x400.JPG Daniel Espino Georgia Premier Academy, Statesboro, Ga. RHP Notes: Espino has the best pure stuff in the class and impressed recently, when he was up to 99 mph and showing a pair of plus breaking balls. 14 phi400x400.JPG Zack Thompson Kentucky LHP Notes: Thompson is sporting a 2.20 ERA over his first four starts and recently shutout Louisiana State over six innings with nine strikeouts and two walks. He’s performed well this season and fanned at least eight batters in each start while showcasing a plus fastball/curveball mix. 15 laa400x400.JPG Shea Langeliers Baylor C Notes: It’s tough to peg Langeliers at this point given the limited time he’s played after dealing with a broken hamate, but he still fits in the middle of the first round. 16 ari400x400.JPG Will Wilson NC State SS Notes: Wilson has continued putting on a hitting clinic this year. He is currently batting .330/.417/.602, which is even more impressive than his first two seasons with the Wolfpack—which were already impressive in their own right. College shortstops with his track record and feel for hitting will not last long. 17 was400x400.JPG Carter Stewart Eastern Florida State JC RHP Notes: It wouldn’t be surprising to see Stewart go in a number of different spots in the first round, but the Nationals have shown they aren’t afraid to pick a player with some risk in the first round. Both Seth Romero (2017) and Mason Denaburg (2018) had higher levels of risk for differing reasons, but both also had big-time pure stuff and high ceilings. Stewart fits that mold as well. 18 pit400x400.JPG Alek Manoah West Virginia RHP Notes: Manoah has some of the best pure stuff in the 2019 draft class and has fanned 45 batters while walking just nine in his first five starts, while also boasting a 2.17 ERA. 19 stl400x400.JPG Jackson Rutledge San Jacinto (Texas) JC RHP Notes: Along the same lines as Manoah, Rutledge has big-time pure stuff with a big frame to go along with it. He’s safely in the first-round range at this point with a fastball into the upper 90s and a plus slider. 20 sea400x400.JPG George Kirby Elon RHP Notes: Kirby is more of a high-floor pitcher than the high-ceiling arms who’ve gone in front of him. He has plus fastball command out of a clean delivery, a track record of starting and throwing strikes and secondaries that might be more 55-grade than 60 at the moment. 21 atl400x400.JPG Brennan Malone IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. RHP Notes: After giving the Braves a college hitter inside the top 10, how can we not give them a prep pitcher with their second pick? They’ll be the first team to double-up in this class, which allows for some creativity, but Malone would be a good fit in Atlanta’s player development system as a high-upside righthander. 22 tb400x400.JPG Logan Davidson Clemson SS Notes: After coming out of the gate slow, Davidson has gone on an impressive hitting tear, posting a .343/.473/.729 slash line with seven home runs. He could easily be the first shortstop off the board after Stott and might be in play much sooner than this if he keeps it up. 23 col400x400.JPG Seth Johnson Campbell RHP Notes: It would be something of a risk to take Johnson at this point given how little he’s pitched, but the upside here is real and the Rockies have done a good job developing arms of their own. They aren’t afraid to take a high-risk pick on Day 1 either, as was the case last year with the selection of New Hampshire high school first baseman Grant Lavigne, which has worked out pretty well for the Rockies so far. 24 cle400x400.JPG Logan Wyatt Louisville 1B Notes: Wyatt could stand to hit for more power, but he has arguably the best zone recognition in the country and a good feel for hitting. The Indians value both of those traits. 25 lad400x400.JPG Tyler Callihan Providence HS, Jacksonville 3B Notes: Callihan is one of the best hitters in the country with plus future grades on his hit tool and his power. He’s looked better in some of his stints behind the plate this season, but a defensive future at either third or second base is still more likely. 26 ari400x400.JPG Keoni Cavaco Eastlake HS, Chula Vista, Calif. 3B Notes: Arizona has more picks than any club in the top 100 (eight) and has more flexibility and money to do something creative. They also might be more likely to take a risk on a pop-up player like Cavaco, who has plus raw power and could be an asset at third base. 27 chc400x400.JPG Michael Busch North Carolina 1B/OF Notes: Busch shares some similarities with Logan Wyatt and could be in play higher than this, but he seems like a nice fit with a Cubs team that has had more than its fair share of success with college hitters. 28 mil400x400.JPG Will Holland Auburn SS Notes: Last year, the Brewers took a shortstop who fell further than expected when they drafted Brice Turang with the No. 21 overall pick. We have them doing that again with Holland, who has plenty of talent but some questions—both offensively and defensively—at this point. 29 oak400x400.JPG Rece Hinds IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. 3B Notes: Hinds might induce more varying opinions than any player in this mock draft. The Athletics are a team that’s taken some big swings with its first pick in recent years. Sometimes they miss (hello, Kyler Murray), but they are going for a huge home run. This seems like a nice fit for Hinds, who is exactly that in the batter’s box. 30 nyy400x400.JPG Jack Leiter Delbarton HS, Morristown, N.J. RHP Notes: Leiter seems like a pitcher who could rise up boards and be a real first-round candidate with a strong spring thanks to his advanced feel for pitching. The Yankees just took a high school catcher in the first round last season, so a high school righthander might not seem too crazy. 31 lad400x400.JPG Matt Canterino Rice RHP Notes: Canterino has risen up boards thanks to his strong performance and an improved slider that has become a real wipeout pitch for him. He’s posted a 2.40 ERA through five starts and 30 innings with 36 strikeouts and just five walks. 32 hou400x400.JPG Braden Shewmake Texas A&M SS Notes: Shewmake is a solid, all-around college performer, and while his best fit defensively is still up in the air, the Astors haven’t really had an issue taking a player with no true defensive home in recent drafts. Shewmake has a good track record of hitting, though scouts have long been waiting for him to tap into more power.
