Taylor was out in 2023 recovering from TJ. 2024 he pitched 19 innings. 2025 he combined for 63.3 innings. How many innings would he advance to in 2025? If you say 100-120 and he averages 5 innings he makes 20-24 starts so he would be shut down late July or Aug? Of his 36 MLB appearances, only 5 were consecutive games. (On a positive note, he gave up no runs on the second night.) If you manage his appearances, I think you could get him to 100 innings unless he is proving to valuable as late inning guy in which case that is a good result as well. Is there a disconnect between his desire to start and the team thinking he will breakdown if his appearances are longer? I don't know.

I count roster at 34 before Kay so 35. Take two players in rule 5?

Good call on Garcia. Now a Pirate.

Well, Shomon can cuss like Don Cooper/Ozzie.

What is Querro's value? A recent top 100 prospect who generated 1.2 bwar when called up. 22yo switch-hitter at premium position. Yeah he is slow, so are almost all catchers. The fact he didn't bomb when called up I would think adds to his value so I would be holding out for a similar young player with some success in the outfield or if getting prospects a top 100 plus more?

Had to go D. 100 losses would normally be a F but they did improve.

Will be the highlight of some careers.

I am not watching the game. How bad does rain/field look? Radar looks ok

Double play gets Barons out of the eight. 3 outs to go. Nishida is one of several guys with no power who get on base at a high rate .400. I think there is room for one guy like that but move them up and see what happens. He is also pure hustle/gamer/every cliche you can come up with.

Top 8. Antonacci double plates Nishida. 6-2 with one out and runners on third and second.

Through 7, 5-2 Barons!

Game to resume at noon. Barons lead 5-1. Biscuits batting bottom of five, first and second with no outs and a run in.

Smith three scoreless with 6k. 44 pitches. Go Barons!

Thanks all for the kind words. With the aid of some errors, Barons take the lead in the top of the third 2-0.

Hagen Smith is the starting pitcher for BHam

No starting pitcher announced though sets up for Hagen Smith. Tampa throwing their #20 prospect who is 14-3 on the year and 4-0 in AA with a 0.97 ERA. Secondly, thanks to everyone who helped/participated throughout the year. Appreciate the civility as well.

McDougal for the good guys. Maybe Smith goes if tomorrow has a winner take all game?

Barons lose 2-1. Galanie with a solo hr.

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/20/2025 https://www.mlb.com/milb/scores/all/all/whitesox?affiliateId=mlbcom-milb AAA doubleheader.

I was advocating he start one of the two guaranteed games. You can limit innings or pitches.

One would think Smith goes.

8-6 through 8

Barons up 8-4 going to the seventh
