Bo went 4 of 5 today with a double and Alford 2 of 5 with a triple. Things are looking rosier recently and I’m liking it.

San Diego winning right now. Let’s hope they roll a few wins off and want to trade us some prospects.

There’s an interesting article on the athletic about how the Texas rangers scrapped their pitcher usage system where they shut down draftees. It turned out to be counter productive. There’s just so much we don’t know about how to approach pitcher usage it seems.

Has gurriel ever played Center field? His arm looks good enough.

I don’t think vlad is chasing but he might be better taking some strikes that he can’t drive. Honestly though, it just seems like bad luck.

We are fostering two pups this weekend and I’m watching them play while watching the game. Loving my Sunday so far!

Romano going down.

They had that dude locked up years ago. I don’t think it’s possible to steal big money international guys late. I’m basing this on other guys but assuming he’s the same.

Just saw on Reddit, not sure if on here. Pearson on double A IL. https://www.milb.com/milb/news/toronto-blue-jays-nate-pearson-lands-on-double-a-injured-list/c-308372024

I guess I realize that I don’t really like the vast sports articles any more. Or at least I like a very specific type of sports article. I really enjoyed a lot of things grantland used to do (especially anything by Brian philips) but I’m not super interested in a typical article or even investigative stuff. I do read eno sarris and his podcast is excellent as well (rates and barrels). Their prospect coverage sucks though. Overall, it’s probably worth it if i wasn’t so cheap and will get more worth it going forward but I’m thinking I would have got more out of a BA sub. I really like sports articles that make me think in a philosophical way about sport and life. Brian philips had a whole thing on his blog, where he was discovered, on why soccer is the beautiful game and it crystallized something that I felt but could not articulate. He had a similar one on federer that made me understand something that I never realized was amazing before. However, I’m not interested in a hard hitting investigative pieces or whatever. Sorry, I rambled.. Also, I acknowledge that I’m a dumbass for signing up for something I prob wouldn’t use much.

Does ba have a list or an article on guys that could be big jumpers in the summer leagues this year? I always hear random tidbits about guys on backfields looking good on podcasts. I went with an athletic sub on a whim and it really hasn’t been worth it. I listen to podcasts a lot and there are a few good ones on there but other than that there isn’t much I read regularly.

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but john sickels latest top 100 from the athletic. I bolded the jays.

I have a coworker who is a Knicks fan and I’ll need to do a suicide watch if they don’t get KD.

Chatter on Twitter is KD and Kyrie to the nets. Just chatter not a woj bomb or anything.

Looks like Otto Lopez is back from a stint on the IL. Hit a home run tonight.

His approval rating has dropped.

Apologies, I guess I read something into that wasn’t there.

He needs to save himself from heart disease first. I worry about the poor lad.

I love that ford got this unpopular after like 6 months. Now, just tie that fat f*** to Scheer for the general and squeak out a minority. Good times. Also, pissed I wasn’t in Ontario to boo him and cheer the team.

God damn.. some people are just relentlessly negative.

Is there something to him crushing high pitches in the zone. He seems to hit them pretty well and the league is throwing more of them.

If you aren’t good, you just trade him imo.

Vladdy seems to chop into a lot of double plays. I sometimes think he has a great eye but he swings at anything in the zone instead of waiting for something that he can hit hard. He should refine that eye a little and take some strikes. However, I’m probably just randomly seeing his not so good games. I haven’t watched them all and I have zero evidence to back any of this up.

OG, Siakam and Leonard could be a terrifying combo defensively.

Leonard might stay on a short deal with player options... just from the POV that he will be healthier next year and the east is winnable.
