If Fulmer suddenly turns it around... my goodness these next two years are going to be exciting.

The Phillies are pretty much having the same benefit (or "situation" depending how you look at it) as us with their young guys contributing. They don't have the young pitching we do but they have the young bats (Hoskins, Williams, Crawford, Herrera). Nola is already solid on the pitching side, Pivetta is taking his lumps but has a solid K rate and they just called up Arano. I personally think Detroit is worse. The Giants are the biggest enigma to me. No way should they be this bad, yet here we are.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 07:39 AM) Avi's BABIP may regress, but I also think he will be hitting more homers. I don't think anyone expects him to hit .333. But if he hits .285-.300 and hits 25-30 homers, he's a lot better than anyone thought coming into this year when people were upset the Sox gave him $3 million and weren't giving Rymer Liriano a shot at playing. It was Willy Garcia (who I still personally like alot).. but your point stands.

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 10:27 AM) One guy who I want who I think will be in the second round area is Alek Thomas. He is an CF from Mount Carmel HS in Chicago, he is part of the White Sox ACE program, and I believe his dad is the director of conditioning for the White Sox. Yes he is. Good looking prospect.

Looks like I picked a good game to miss. Like ss2k5 and I said weeks ago before the Ron thread, not worried at all about Moncada.

Theo has got to be licking his chops right now..

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 02:43 PM) Tough news for AZ, David Johnson out months, going on IR. My fantasy team is so screwed.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 01:00 PM) I am happy to say that when the choice between Micah and Sanchez came up, I chose team Sanchez. Ditto. But I was extremely biased because I've liked Sanchez since the Futures Game.

Great Falls wins game 1.

The bust label will definitely be on display now.

Pierre Pilote passed away. Age 85.

#16 for Avi. Creeping to 20.

Yolmer showing off the power lately.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 10:33 PM) He has looked completely and absolutely lost so far. Time to start worrying yet? I'm sure as hell worrying about him. I know he is young, but I have a good eye for baseball and I'm not liking what I'm seeing. We have to hope he is like buxton and turns it around at SOME point. LMAO.

Mets, Tigers won. Reds lost. A's and Braves losing. Phillies just put up 3 runs in the 9th. Down 11-10 to Nationals. (not optimistic there though) EDIT. Phillies lose.

They just changed it fathom. Breathe easy.

Kanny advances!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 09:01 PM) Both unearned this inning right? Just one. 5.1 IP 3 H 5 R 4 ER 4 BB 5 SO.

Eric Cooper is a joke back there. Usually you don't like young pitchers (players in general) complaining about calls, but Giolito was completely justified. And he did it when he was pulled. I like it.

Renteria and Giolito ejected.

Defense and ump let Gio down that game.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 08:41 PM) But, he was a #1 prospect in all of baseball He'll be fine. Hell, Buxton took 2-3 years before he started figuring it out. Aaron Judge looked worse last year IMO.

Best curve he's thrown since he's been up here.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 07:28 PM) A look at Ethan Hankins 14K's against Korea. In consideration as the top arm in the 2018 draft class. Get familiar. https://mobile.twitter.com/WBSC/status/906232961367851008 Kid reminds me alot of Roy Oswalt.

#15 for Avi. Still hoping he can hit 20 on the year.
