    We need some video of Bauer telling Beaty what's coming. You see it at the end of the Dietrich interview (which is equally as awesome)

    I saw that Rizzo at bat, but I can't figure out how to post tweets on here. Thanks LGBJ29. Pretty cool.
  3. Brownie19
    I'd agree. He certainly doesn't look any smaller this year.

    I just looked it up and apparently Dwight Gooden baseball nickname was Dr. K (which isn't very memorable as I've never heard it before), which got shortened into 'Doc'. Roy's nickname of 'Doc' is a play on his name, coined by Tom Cheek as a reference to Wild West gunslinger Doc Holliday. I'd agree with you about The Big Unit and The Big Hurt (and The Crime Dog and The Iron Horse). Sometimes you 'hit' and the nickname really sticks. It just seems to me there are a lot more misses with those forced nicknames (The Process has to be the worst ever) like: Vlad the Impaler The Professor The Hebrew Hammer The Splendid Splinter The Yankee Clipper (prefer Joltin Joe) The Wizard of Oz I'd rather see the likes of: Big Mac Miggy Ryno Yaz IMO, nicknames are something people typically refer to you as. Nobody goes around and says "hey The Process do you want to grab a bite to eat tonight after the game?" Nobody would ever call Pearson "The Airport" in the dressing room - because that would be stupid.

    Meh - It's probably as clever as it gets if you want to assign that type of nickname to him. My issue is I generally hate all nicknames like that. The Answer, The Matrix, The Process. I much prefer nicknames associated with your actual name. Big Nate is just fine with me.

    Pretty sure he's been back on it for the past 2-3 seasons (legally).

    Nice little ball park they have in Bradenton eh? Love the updates. Thanks John.
  8. Brownie19
    Perhaps already mentioned, but apparently we checked in on Collin McHugh. I think he's a great target.

    I guess I just assumed that NCAA schools that make a s*** ton of money off their athletes could afford to buy the kids bats. Would manufacturers give bats to the top teams for the marketing exposure? I wonder how many bats a college kid would go through in 1 seasons.
  10. Brownie19
    Yeah I'm aware of BBCOR bats (my kids are in youth ball so I'm researching aluminum/composite bats constantly). Just seems like they should switch to wood. I just read up on it a bit and it does sound like the cost of buying bats is the primary reason. That seems bizarre to me.
  11. Brownie19
    I'm not sure you do...
  12. Brownie19
    These announcers are one of the issues with the game today. f***
  13. Brownie19
    Sorry - I assumed when they said it was about money that it was the manufacturers making it...not the cost to the NCAA team to buy bats...
  14. Brownie19
    But almost all the companies that produce aluminum bats also produce wood bats. It can't the money in the # of bats purchased... If NCAA kids aren't using aluminum bats does it effect their marketing to Little League and High School?
  15. Brownie19
    Can someone explain why the NCAA still allows aluminum bats? You can't even use aluminum in Bantam baseball in Ontario.
  16. Brownie19
    Man - just reading this gets me really excited to watch our system develop over the next 2-3 years. I love following our farm as much as I do the big club.
  17. Brownie19
    It's kind of sad because Camden Yards is a fantastic place to watch a baseball game.
  18. Brownie19
    Remember back when Cecil went on the weighted ball program and transformed himself into a stud reliever for a couple of seasons? How sweet would it be to see history repeat itself.
  19. Brownie19
    Not anymore....Sale will start the year on the IL with an elbow issue (and sickness?)
  20. Brownie19
    I mean why be so pessimistic? Driveline and other training programs have produced some incredible results over the past 4-5 years. I don't know why you'd dismiss it so quickly.
  21. Brownie19
    What's the average fastball of LH relievers?
  22. Brownie19
    Makes sense to me. I'd love to know what teams are using and if some teams have significant advantages over others - and/or if this benefits certain pitchers a lot more than others.
  23. Brownie19
    Better call up CC

    https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-derek-fisher-regrets-keeping-mum-astros-cheating/ I mean Derek Fisher sure seems to have publicly stated his regret. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2020/02/08/rays-morton-on-astros-cheating-i-regret-not-doing-more-to-stop-it/ Charlie Morton has publicly stated his regret. I don't listen to the PR ******** you heard from a couple of Astros players and their owner in that public interview. That isn't reality - that's them saying what they were told to say. I guess the reality is we have no idea how the players really feel about this, or how it will impact the rest of their lives. It may impact some a lot more than others. Personally, I suspect most truly regret it and will suffer from having to carry this with them for the rest of their careers and lives. Altuve goes from being one of the most beloved players in baseball - on his way to a potential HOF induction to the biggest villain in baseball. All so he can win a world series that is now almost universally considered tainted? I can't help but think this has had a huge negative impact on his life.
