Autumn Dreamin

Lots of teams need RH pop, not a ton of great options...I think someone takes a chance on a guy who can play CF and maybe stay hot/healthy for long enough to make an impact at the plate. Could see Philly calling if he wasn't a Met. Heck, one of the other ALC teams could take a swing.

This seems like an overreaction to a potential second loss in their last 8 games? Nothing about this team suggests that they are one loss or one injury away from losing their vibes.

Schultz had a 2.35 ERA and 0.78 WHIP in Charlotte with 34K in 23 innings I'm not sure what benchmarks you would use for him improving down there

That ball 3 was a strike

Pereira done after 6 innings in CF. Went 1-2 with an RBI double and BB. Hays done after 7 innings in LF. He went 2-4 with a HR and 2K.

Well at least the Cubs are good for something, chased Valdez in the first.

I feel like once he gets HR #21 he'll reel off a stretch of 7 in 10 games or something

107mph double for Pereira, 102mph HR for Hays

For reference, last year's draft class got their assignments on August 5th. I think the signings/camp are a bit ahead of schedule this year though, so decent chance you'll either be right on time or juuuust miss him.

Rocker is still listed as the starter, so I don't think so. They just need a fresh arm after back to back short starts from Eovaldi and deGrom.

Seems like the Rangers are calling up Marco Gonzales to backfill their bullpen. Hasn't pitched in the bigs since 2024, 8+ ERA in the hitter friendly PCL across 17 outings this year

Pereira in CF, Hays in LF for Charlotte tonight Elko also back at AAA after 5 rehab games with Winston

Durham? Trading him to the Rays already? 😅

By any name, Boston Smith is making impression, impact in...BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In order to start making a name for himself, Boston Smith first considered the name for himself. His actual first name is Noah, but as he explored playing baseball beyond high schoo

Kumar Rocker is coming off a tough outing (5.2 IP, 7 ER) vs. Houston, but was pitching to a solid ~3.5 ERA until mid June. 90 innings and counting is a career high for him, so the Rangers are probably hoping the break helps him bounce back. His slider is very good and he throws it 38% of the time. It has a 40% whiff rate and just a .182 average against. Everything else (sinker/cutter/4seam/changeup) is vulnerable to getting hit pretty hard. Velo is a bit below average at ~94mph. Pretty strong splits, LHB are putting up an .857 OPS against him. TEX pen is still limited; their top 2-3 are fresh to protect a late lead, but they’ll have some tough choices to make if tied or trailing. Old friend Tyler Alexander is available, so we’ll likely see him.

LRJ 0-4 with 3 Ks and a hard lineout in his first game back, batting 7th and playing CF

He's nowhere near ready to catch in the bigs, considering he's hardly caught at all. Wasn't behind the plate until his senior year IIRC, and has only played ~40 games there in the minors this year.

Fedde quietly has a 2.68 ERA over his last 10 appearances Seems like he could be a solid long guy in the event they do add someone to the rotation

Yeah, Colson seems fine

Yeah I don't think the Cubs are coming through here

Fouled a ball off his shin
