Benintendi gets #1 today.

I don't care that much about roster construction but I would just say we don't really know that much yet. Last year we were 3-1 and had one of our only big offensive explosions against detroit. Moncada has 2 home runs which is like last years total so I do think this is a good sign (as is YAZ!) but you know. Keep him at 5, move him up, whatever. not like he's batting 9th.

least shocking thing is Jirschele suddently getting the knights to look competent.

I think the core of that problem was largely our groundball rate and lack of power. Our groundball rate is still kinda high, and really there is no reason to believe it would improve that much aside from a relatively speedier team mitigating it and replacing Leury (hit a grounder) with Romy (strikeout a relative improvement). Before we'd put together bases loaded with some singles and grounders. Then you need to hit it in the air and nobody could do it. Now having moncada, grandal showing power, Luis showing power, that's what will cure this. We may still have quite a few left on base situations, but at least we should cash in more.

So they moved this up right? Looks like rain is moving back even later than before so should be able to get it in on the new time. I hope it's a fun day at the park.

I forget are seeds 7-10 play in or just 9-10

Sounds right, pretty amazing.

Good lenyn. Good Remy

I think everyone’s priors are confirmed but for me that is that power is good and we win games with power as we have for 2 decades. moncada / Grandal power is extreeeeemely good

Is the title hyphenated to make it seem faster

Things I hate: singles factory Things you love: Robert return to gold glove D Starting pitching

He didn't pay him like an elite reliever but the long term deal bleh.

Lets f go

The almost perfect game was pretty sweet

Romy going to continue to hit the piss out of the ball while the board keeps crying holding up his 2022 AAA stats

The thing about hitting the ball hard on a power starved team is that it’s good.

Romy Gone-Zalez more like

It is always shocking how tall he is. He’s like 5/6th Noah schulzez

Fields isn't extension eligible until next offseason.

So it's 40 mill in cash they need to spend prior to March 2024. Shouldn't be too hard to hit with some additional vet deals + extensions.

I'm not that disappointed by that. I've had a gripe that the gimmicky new food items slow down the operations like crazy. I'd rather be able to get to my seat in between innings than wait in line for 30 minutes just so I could get a chicken sandwich. Hot dogs, nachos, popcorn had to be staples for a reason. Can prep em easily and sling em to the masses.

Best bullpen in baseball lock it in.

I remember something different maybe. I think there was a projected "best players of the 2010s" after Gordon's first season where he came up in July and was absolutely on fire. every at bat was a double. He tailed off at the end, and it turned out, permanently.

Definitely the one that caught my eye. Eating it will be rough thou

those puns are brutal.
