If this is what Cruz and Hayes are, then the offense is screwed.

This spring training was then the equivalent of last year’s perfect pickett preseason.

Between Cruz, suwinski, and teller, the offense from LH hitters has been abysmal.

It’s probably telling that the best hitter is the guy that was down in Indy the first month of the season. This org philosophy is just crushing these guys.

And on the opposite side of that, suwinski looks completely lost still. I’d say 50-50 he’s on the 40-man by the end of this season

Definitely good to see that he really doesn’t have anything to gain from being in AAA.

I wouldn’t be surprised if just getting away from Shelton and Haines helps. Just come up with some confidence and see what happens (see the ball and hit; tune out the stupid “swing decision” metrics).

Grohl is definitely in elite company of being a genuinely good person

Henry Davis getting recalled

Dreams of a rowdy dfa are now gone

Priester stinks, shelton is an idiot, and Stratton does not deserve to be on a mlb roster

I was with some trumpists out in the wild yesterday. One argument that stood out to me, apparently Trump is telling people that he refused to prosecute Clinton because it would be divisive. I said, that’s false, googled about Trump trying to prosecute clinton, immediately found an article about tru...

I'll take Boston.

They definitely had an easy road to the finals, but the idea that means they haven't been tested feels like misnomer to me.

Oof, quite the "getaway day before an off day" lineup. Tellez->Bae->Koch in 7-8-9.

Basically just a normal lineup though. The only “ok” hitter on the bench is olivares

Keller is on pace for over 18 wins. Looks like any and all pirates all stars will be coming from the rotation

One all star on this team - Bailey falter

A deep dive on some position players in the low minors First, Siani got to AA after finally mastering A+ started terribly but it's heating up White is struggling. Cheng maintaining a little power (5hr) but striking out too much. Almost .800ops last 30 days though. Bowen struggling. Brannigan with p...

Blow the Paul Skenes lead pirates bullpen challenge

Alito and Thomas are really in an epic battle to prove which is the more pathetic partisan hack.

Beating Skrubal was going to be unlikely. Jones would have to match...and he will not.

Apparently Koch caught for Skenes at Indy, so could see him tomorrow

Base salary is higher for aiyuk (see that now).

So it’s just that he’s a better wide receiver than metcalf, that’s why he would cost more.

assets required to obtain him, not salary. the cap isn't real 2nd round pick I think i'd be down with that, last I read was like a first and then some SF holding out for a first is what I think kept an Aiyuk deal from happening. He's younger and cheaper. I don't think Metcalf is worth a first, and ...

YDLS was 2-2 yesterday with 2bb and 4 steals. Got up to .407avg. I didn't check today's yet. Must be good

Didn’t play today

2nd round pick I think

Blanco getting better results is encouraging

SI (is that still a thing) quotes someone suggesting Metcalf for Pickens and 3 draft picks.

Lol

On the over the cap thing, it looks like he would cost 13mm this year. Which would match up pretty well with their current cap situation
