Harold's Leg Lift

I think the game plan is to stay away from his slider.

Pint retired today. Always fear the physically maxed out high schooler with "now" stuff.

He's taking his lumps but you don't have to feel bad for him. This is the first time he's ever failed in his baseball life and he's going to come out of it an even better player. He's a superstar.

The cheating pile of shit isn't doing a good job of coaching his guys up. Shocking

Detroit is a clown show and I LOVE to see it.

Because Manfred is a F'ing Idiot. He gave pitchers a free pass while they "collected the data" so they all went crazy doctoring the ball. Now that the problem is out of control they have to step in midseason to try to put a stop to it. It's going to be real interesting to see how they suspend 90% of the pitchers. Do they go alphabetical or by divisions?

Throw the fuckin ball Grandal.

Grandal is not catching much on one knee tonight.

Did not know Kannapolis is 3-22. Yikes. They could use a week of rain outs.

I've never seen Major League 2 and honestly thought that was his real name.

Agreed. I think this is going to be a three player draft for them. I think they're going to try and push a couple dudes down to the 2nd and 3rd rounds and then grab money savers from 4-10.

1st- Wes Kath SS Desert Mountain HS 2nd- Thatcher Hurd RHP Mira Costa HS 3rd- Isaiah Thomas OF Vanderbilt 4th- Nathan Hickey C Florida 5th- Chad Patrick RHP Purdue Northwest

It's pretty evident now the number one factor in Crochet's development as a starting pitcher was to save a couple million dollars on a left handed reliever.

I've heard a couple prep pitcher names in the later rounds but not a lot on 1st round guys. I think they'll take a college arm if one falls to them but it looks like their focus at the top is on HS hitters with power.

1. Pittsburgh Jordan Lawlar SS Jesuit College Prep 2. Texas Marcelo Mayer SS Eastlake HS 3. Detroit Jack Leiter RHP Vandy 4. Boston Henry Davis C Louisville 5. Baltimore Kahlil Watson SS Wake Forest HS 6. Arizona Jackson Jobe RHP Heritage Hall HS 7. Kansas City Kumar Rocker RHP Vandy 8. Colorado Brady House SS Winder-Burrow HS 9. LA Angels Ty Madden RHP Texas 10. NY Mets Sal Frelick OF Boston College 11. Washington Colton Cowser OF Sam Houston St 12. Seattle Matt McClain SS UCLA 13. Philadelphia Jud Fabian OF Florida 14. San Francisco Bubba Chandler RHP North Oconee HS 15. Milwaukee Jordan Wicks LHP Kansas St 16. Miami Benny Montgomery OF Red Land HS 17. Cincinnati Sam Bachman RHP Miami Ohio 18. St Louis Harry Ford C North Cobb HS 19. Toronto Michael McGreevy RHP UC Santa Barbara 20. NY Yankees Gunner Hogland RHP Ole Miss 21. Chicago Cubs Will Bednar RHP Mississippi St 22.

I watched a couple of his AB's yesterday and think his hand set is too high. He collapses his backside and the swing path gets too uphill. I think lowering his hands will get him on more on plane and will greatly improve his contact rate.

Teams are becoming more and more risk averse at the top of the draft and hitters are seen as much safer picks. In my world Leiter is the best player in this draft and it's not particularly close.

I agree. If he can't locate his fastball big league hitters are going to spit on the slider. His cutter looks like it could be an above avg pitch and he threw a couple decent changes but it won't be enough to get him thru the lineup more than once if can't consistently throw the fastball for strikes. He has huge reliever risk.

Rocker had his worst start of the season tonight. Couldn't get out of the 4th. He couldn't spot his fastball and threw a ton of off speed stuff. Ha. I was just going post the same thing.

Thank you. That's a little disappointing. I was hoping he would be more insightful than that.

Keith Law mock. Come on people lets get our priorities straight.
