But without the s***** velocity.

As your manager I advise against the steep discount. Get every penny you're worth.

So actual competitive walks.

You were talking to everyone. They're free to respond as well.

Don't care.

Still wish he'd cut down on those walks, but this is still very encouraging.

This is a much sexier looking off-speed pitch from Pearson. I'm guessing it's the curve.

Kay is getting s*** done tonight.

Depends on where you look. MLB Pipeline has Moreno at #9 and Kirk at #13.

There's a difference between what we think will happen and what we hope will happen. The odds are high that a 4th outfield is what Fisher will be. But the potential is there for him to be more. That's what we're hoping for.

Controllable for the next 492 years

Well, starting out at dick height and dropping to the floor is something I'm familiar with so you're probably right.

If the habit is eating better and losing weight, do it.

From the Prospects Thread... Ben Badler did his first 2020 International prospect preview. Jays are expected to sign Manuel Beltre. Manuel Beltre, SS, Dominican Republic Beltre, 15, is the most famous player in the 2020 class, as he has spent years documenting his daily training on his Instagram account of more than 35,000 followers. A baseball rat, Beltre has a simple, repeatable swing from the right side and is one of the top hitters in the class, with ample game experience and a baseball IQ well beyond his years. He's expected to sign with the Blue Jays. Beltre trains with Jaime Ramos. Here's his instagram account with a ton of video from him. He's wearing Jays gear in a lot of them lol. Badler didn't exactly rank them but Beltre was 9th of the 10 players he covered. Login • Instagram WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM Welcome back to Instagram.

Defensive play at the end saved the game for his team to send the semifinal game of the @Iplbaseball Cup 🏆 to extra innings.".

I have to be honest. I don't know if it's the camera angles, but Pearson's slider really doesn't wow me from the little footage I've seen. It doesn't seem to have the break that I'd expect from a 60 grade pitch. Hopefully it's just my eyes deceiving me.

He was very good in 2015. But is he the same pitcher has was then? Can he dial it back up to 97-99 with the same sink? Is it guaranteed that his durability improves with a move to the pen? You'd think so...but we don't really know for sure. How do we factor in that 2015 was really his coming out party and no one had seen him before. The league now has 5 years worth of data on him. Is that a variable? He may very well be a quality reliever, but I think there would still be a few questions to answer.

You think we have 8-9 arms that you're comfortable starting 2020 with already?

Beat me to it.

We'll likely be getting a pitcher or two back for Sogard

You go out and do it then

I'm not convinced. They have just as many pitchers as anyone else.

I missed that then.

Biagini optioned to AAA. Sanchez off the to IL with a sore pectoral.

Manoah's night is done. 4IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 5K.
