If he can get to 5 fWAR off a 90 mph heater by the of of 30 starts I'll be impressed. I don't think he can. It's just not possible, eventually nobody will even bother to swing at his slider until there are two strikes.

I'm sorry 90 mph meatballs are not what I'm looking for out of rodon.

I liked the half ass bunt attempt.

Yes, he looks ready to sacrifice 15 points of OBP for 50-75 of slugging, good trade for him at this point in his career.

Yea it did, mercy.

I mean it came off the bat at 109.3 mph. It was hit hard. How about a simple "this ball is deep, this ball is hit well, this ball is OUTA HERE". And if it's not you can just change it to "caught at the track". He should get a standard call going for deep fly balls and HRs.

Adam Engel is probably the worst hitter I've ever seen play so many games in MLB.

lol Yolmer getting the superstar call from the ump.

458 ft estimate via statcast on that moncada bomb, mercy.

It's nice having Leury on the roster, hopefully one of these years he can be the super sub that almost all the really good clubs have on their bench.

Jason's call on that 430+ foot bomb was...a bit off.

Stroman is a Dukie no? Man he must have some stories from playing in college...

oh totally, my post was tongue in cheek. baseball itself created this scenario long before today because they had no official policy. @Texsox you're right, they need a policy.

Imagine being white and having one of your core political issues being that blacks can say the n word (with said variation) towards each other and white people but that you can't say it. boggles the mind but some people weren't raised with good parents.

Use common sense?

Rob Manfred will shortly be introducing his latest great idea: the AS game rosters will now be comprised by race. It will be a single elimination tournament. White guys, Latin Guys, Black guys and Asian guys. Dave Chappelle will announce the rosters. Each team will get to draft one crossover race player. With the 1st pick the Asians have selected Mike Trout.

See, n**** first was used back in the deep south Fallin out between the dome of the white man's mouth It means that we will never grow, you know the word dummy Other n****s in the community think it's crummy But i don't, neither does the youth cause we Em-brace adversity it goes right with the race And being that we use it as a term of endearment

Not white people I'll tell you that.

Hmmmmmm

prolly gonna go with 1 drop to be real. but for MLB in the future obviously nobody should be using it on field.

he's sitting tonight, not appealing.

Not to get too deep, but most things in America have, and still do, despite what some believe.

MLB has less control over their officials than any other major sport and it's a problem. I'm a union guy for the most part but the Ump's union is too strong and has been for all of my baseball watching life. It's not the umpires' sport and sometimes you get the impression they think it is.

I'm calling up Ken Griffey Jr, Frank, Greg Maddox, Ozzie and Jackie's grandkids as we speak. We are forming a blue ribbon panel! It's going to make the Seattle City council's famous "environmental review" process look like a Jimmy John's delivery. We'll deliver our recommendation in 2025.
