It happens man, c'mon...

Thought you liked Velo?

You just learned about this now? C'mon bro...

Yeah, he's been really good, Cy Suarez.

lol... you're such a dildo Jonn, I should've known, ya knob gobbler.

I laughed probably way too hard at this.

Stroke?

He's sitting his 2nd game in a row tonight due to general soreness, I think it's the ankle he twist last week.

Well once Kirk, Barger, Lukes, Springer, Gimenez, Santander, Berrios, Bieber, Ponce, Yesavage, Scherzer and Garcia are back we should be good to go. 🙄

What is he exactly?

June 5th?

Valuenzela does two of those things just fine.

Da fuq?

Geez... Cease, cue the clown music.

Cease killing it. 😎

I have several times. Here... Kazuma Okamoto, 1B/3B BA Grade: 55 | Risk: Mild | Adjusted: 50 Born: June 30, 1996 | B-T: R-R | HT: 6-0 | WT: 212 Track Record: Known as the “Young General,” Okamoto is a six-time NPB all-star who has led the league in home runs three times. He made the Yomiuri Giants’ first team in 2018 after three years in the Eastern League, the equivalent of the Japanese minor leagues. Once breaking in, Okamoto established himself quickly, producing seven-consecutive seasons of 25 or more home runs leading up to 2025. He was a key part of Japan’s 2023 World Baseball Classic team, hitting .333/.556/.722 over seven games in the tournament. His home run off of Kyle Freeland in the fourth inning of the WBC final against the United States proved to be the deciding run. Okamoto was limited to 69 games in 2025 after an elbow injury in the first half, but he returned to hit .327/.416/.598 with 15 home runs. Scouting Report: One of the most well-rounded players in Japan over the last decade, Okamoto is a highly-skilled player both at the plate and in the field. He combines the ability to hit for power while limiting swing-and-miss, which he shows a little of but while displaying good bat-to-ball skills compared to other sluggers. Okamoto does particular damage against fastballs, against which he whiffed less than 10% of the time in 2025. He has shown strong on-base skills, limiting chase swings and remaining aggressive on pitches inside the zone. His game power is above-average, as he combines 55-grade raw power with the ability to launch the ball to all fields. Okamoto falls into the category of hitters who make consistent hard contact at good angles but with a lack of high-end exit velocity numbers. He will likely settle into the 20-25 home run range with a good supporting batting average and on-base percentage. In the field, he’s an above-average defender at third base, and he’s won multiple equivalents of the NPB Gold Glove. He’s a plus-plus defender at first base and offers his signing team defensive versatility. The Future: Okamoto should immediately make an impact in MLB thanks to a combination of polished hitting, game power and above-average infield corner defense. Scouting Grades: HIT: 50 | POW: 55 | RUN: 40 | FLD: 55 | ARM: 55

I just seen it's Ernie Hockey Jersey giveaway, he likely goes yard now.

Oh, interesting tidbit.

Do you think I'm funny, like a clown, sir? 😅

Players are more selective in AAA, it'd likely explain that.

Players with options are a team's found Gold, lol. They're fine ATM, bro's bait is hooking us up, bigly!
