What happens with the AA outfield if Robert gets an early promotion?

Pardon my ignorance, but does this mean that they can stay in the minors for all of this year and all of next year, but then they have to play the 2021 season with the big league club? And they can't be sent down at all in 2021 without risk of another team claiming them?

Take out the four pitch walk to start the game, and he actually looks pretty solid.

Never got around to posting my prediction. I’ll go with 16-14.

Dumb ass.

Start time changed from 4:00 to TBA, according to Garfien.

But if it rains, he will be fine, right? Because then he never really got hit by the pitch.

Seems plausible.

First pitch expected at 4:00.

After looking at the radar, this game is literally at the perfect time. There is a 3 or 4 hour window starting around 3:15. This game will be played.

Madrigal gets moved to 3B, which pushes Yoan to LF, which then pushes Eloy to 1B. But then Collins gets moved to 1B, which pushed Eloy to DH. However, Burger was the plan at DH because we have Madrigal at 3B, so once Eloy gets moved to DH, Burger is traded for Tatis, who will be struggling in SD. Tatis comes over and pushes Anderson to CF. Robert is then expendable, so we trade Robert for Machado because SD is entering a rebuild. But then Machado becomes the third baseman, and Madrigal doesn't have a position. I think we should just avoid drafting Abrams.

I haven't really followed Forbes much since we acquired him. Does he have a chance to turn into something?

I’ll tell you how I can’t ignore him...you quoting him! 😉

Thanks. I've been looking forward to following him this year.

I missed this one. What's the injury?

I'm still not sure if it was three pitches or if they just replayed the first pitch two more times.

I was thinking the same thing.

Only because you're not allowed to wear 106.

After watching that 3rd inning of their current game, I wish I could change my vote to 90+. Best team of all time. No doubt.

Two nice defensive plays by Yoan so far in the first two innings. One on a bunt where he charged and made a pretty good play, and one on a pop up down the line where he made a nice running catch (made it look a lot easier than it was). In Eloy's first at-bat, he hit it well into the LC gap for an out.

First 30 games include 6 against KC, 6 against Baltimore, 7 against Detroit, 2 against Cleveland, and 3 each against TB, Seattle, and NY. What will their record be?

Also, Giolito needs to learn how to pitch from the stretch. Once one guy gets on base, all hell breaks lose.

Exactly. And we even saw it first hand with Giolito last spring. If I recall correctly, he was pretty good last spring...then not so much during the regular season.

I did not erase last season, which is why I said my hopes are not high for him. Why did you ask if Keith Law saw his last outing?
