Wrigley is hard with so much of the crowd in obstructed views with the roof

What a game.

Why are they being so unbelievably dumb with Moncadas injury?

The guy who has said his back hurts hitting righty to pinch hit for against a lefty yeah awesome

An opener.

I get it for the new full nets, I was just surprised that the extended netting from the previous year had not been made to retract for between innings/pregame.

I admittedly am not a net engineer but don't football teams do this?

Great stuff. AZ is crowded again but lots of reasons to slowly introduce many of the INTL guys to organized baseball in the states.

And I think this may be true!

I am happy they added it, but there are a few posters here who go to a lot of games and really hate the netting, and aren't making arguments like "you should pay attention". I do think they should try and experiment with lowering it during between innings and allowing some interaction between players/employees on field and young fans.

Espinoza with a Home Run!

A system with a dearth of pitching and just drafted Andrew Vaughn trades a young, good starter for two DHs and a pitcher coming off TJS with an ERA of 12. Cool cool cool coool.

His speed is fine. If, through shifting or improvement, he gets closer to below average as a defender, he is a cost-controlled offensive outfielder with room to improve. But the market will show his worth soon enough.

I gotcha.

steeped in holy poverty?

I'm excited for Hahn to provide a lot of interesting insight into the White Sox.

I actually tried to get a feel for the DSL roster and I already don't know half of them on any given day.

No idea, but I think the difference between 15th and 35th on a draft board really isn't very significant, but especially this year. Why do some like THT? They see a switchable guard whose body could handle mismatches and would be a plus in the pick and roll nba. And he's young, so maybe he ends up developing his playmaking ability and you have a role player. Now, many would swap him with huichimara, and have THT in the 35ish range. He trades huichimaras production in college but worries his processing and sluggishness on D will get him eaten alive in pick and roll defense, negating his developed offense. The guys really from 11-35 are either productive college players that could get eaten alive in modern defense or a guy that accomplishes one specific thing and you roll the dice and hope he develops others. Do I think Ayo could have risen? I don't know, I think some would have him higher and some lower. Some love Jontay Porter, some would point him as undrafted. Depends what happens to a team in charge. I think Ayo would be a 2nd rounder, and more than likely THT will be a 2nd rounder.

Passing. Length. Youth.
