  1. Another great start by Flores. He continues to produce since getting promoted to Birmingham. He’s slowly becoming one of my favorite prospects.
  2. Pardon my ignorance, but when GMs play the service clock game, do they really tell the players that’s what their plan is? I always assumed it was something that was never admitted, even though everyone knows what is happening, and the GMs know that everyone knows.
  3. “Didn’t we learn with Moncada? Why would we rush Eloy in a year when the games didnt matter anyway? So stupid to bring him up so soon.”
  4. Interesting. Just having one of those years where everything goes right? Or could he have figured something out? I have not looked at a single advanced stat on him. I was just shocked by the 0.53 ERA and the fact that I’ve never seen him mentioned around here.
  5. What’s the story with this guy? I know he’s 27 years old, but he’s pitched 33.2 AA innings this year and has given up a whopping 2 ER. Any chance he’s a future bullpen piece?
  6. He was seen in the dugout with a giant poster board that had big boxes on it, and he was checking them. It was kind of like the jump to conclusions mat from Office Space.
  7. I think Flores can be that guy that we weren’t counting on who makes it into the rotation. I’m also really curious to see what Stephens can do against major league hitters.
  8. That is not what is best for his development.
  9. Call’s resurgence is making our outfield situation even more crowded. Which three of these players will make up the starting outfield in our competitive years? Avi, Eloy, Robert, Basabe, Gonzalez, Rutherford, Call, Booker, Adolfo, Cordell Who else am I forgetting?
  10. Kopech with no walks through 5. Gave up a 2 run homer in the second, and that’s it so far. Hopefully he can get one more clean inning in, and then he can start packing his bags with Eloy.
  11. Did Fulmer “start” the game today?
  12. Yeah, I wasn’t talking about the order...just the fact that it consists of nine guys who aren’t automatic outs.
  13. That’s one of the best looking lineups we’ve had all year (not that it’s any good compared to actual major league teams)
  14. So far, with his new role in the bullpen, he has made five relief appearances. These are his stats: 6.1 IP, 2 ER, 5 K, 3 BB
  15. If Hansen faced Collins, is there any chance the at bat would result in something other than a BB or a K?
  16. Yeah, that run doesn’t score without the error. So earned/unearned runs are scoring decisions?
  17. Can the determination of whether a run is unearned be left up to the score keeper (like a hit vs. an error)? Or is it always a black/white situation?
  18. 1 inning, 3 ER, 5 hits, 0 BB, 0 K
  19. Basabe with a solo shot.
  20. Yep, I was just about to post this. Very nice 7 pitch inning in the 5th.
  21. Six up, six down with a couple strike outs since your post. 17 of his 21 pitches in those two innings were for strikes. Hopefully he can get into some sort of rhythm before this season is over. He needs to get some confidence back. EDIT: Two RBI single by Collins as I was typing that.
  22. This has me thinking... If we trade Shields for a lottery ticket who turns into a solid regular and Tatis Jr never makes it to the majors for whatever reason (maybe an injury), would the Sox be considered the winners of the original trade with San Diego?
  23. Great start in AA for Flores. Four starts, all but one have been 7 innings (the one before tonight was 6), never more than two runs, and strike outs have increased in each of the four starts.
