Pretty cool thing will be happening on Sunday: http://mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20170928&...et&c_id=det

Eloy all the way. Muck the Astros and muck the Pirates.

Give me a Moncada bomb, an Andreson triple, and Delmoaco blast, and two singles for Avi. That'd be just about the perfect Tank win in this game. Phillies up by 2 in the 5th and Detroit up by 3 early. Please baseball gods - in the next 3... White Sox: 0 - 3 Phillies: 3 - 0 Detroit: 3 - 0 Yea, ain't happening -- but, baseball.

I knew all we needed was a little Cleveland to get us back into losing. Please God have the Phillies and Tigers magically sweep the Mets and Twins.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 03:44 PM) A guy who is hitting for that low of an average is going to not see nearly as many walks at the upper levels. People are putting way too much faith into pitchers going around him if he isn't hitting. Pitchers with control at the upper levels aren't going to give him nearly as much. If his hit tool doesn't return he will be a bust. Such a large part of his OPS right now is based on walks. If he doesn't get them, he isn't worth nearly as much. He's had 506 minor league at bats while not working much on refining his swing. It's way to early to make speculations about his projection at the MLB level. The dudes a prospect - and a good one at that. Let's just all agree to sit on the fence with him and keep an eye on how he does in 2018 on both sides of the ball.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 02:09 PM) Here comes the Reds bullpen to blow this. 4-2 Reds, 2 outs, 2nd and 3rd. Come on! God damn it. 5 - 4 Cubs. f***ing Happ hit a 3 run bomb.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) An OPS of over 800 doesn't equal a bad bat, especially at the catcher position. Whole heartedly agree and I also feel like 2018 will see Collin's making major improvements to his offensive side. The kids just getting started and all things considered, it has been a good start.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 10:43 PM) Sox just can't help themselves but f*** this up. 0.5 games ahead of the Reds with the 5th pick This s***s gettin scary. Thank the Tank God for Cleveland! ??

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) Collins was first Burdi was a comp Hansen was the third pick by the White Sox but as a second rounder

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) Siera Santos‏Verified account @SieraSantos 3m3 minutes ago Rick Hahn on areas needed to improve-on in offseason: "We shot a big hole through our bullpen." Priceless - I love this dude

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 02:20 PM) NotBreakingNews Charlie Tilson pulled his hamstring upon hearing he has been cleared for baseball activities.

I trust the opinion of our resident expert Ptatc more so than any other "source"... internal or external. I'll await his word before expressing anything else. ??

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 10:41 AM) BA College Top 50 Draft Prospects 2018 FYI, Seth Beer checks in at #17 Hell... maybe it isn't so asinine to pine for him to have a mediocre season this upcoming year - allowing us to pluck him early in the second round... ala the surprise Hanson 2016 third round pickup.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 11:19 AM) We will have closure on Rodon by the end of the week. After you've been largely absent lately, you come back and drop a bomb like this... I love you, man.

f***ing Detroit, f***ing Kansas City, f***ing Angles, f***ing Giants bullpen, f***ing Diamondbacks. ( I'm really not that upset, promise. )

It would be huge if we can pick up a game on Detroit and Philly tonight. Side note - are these boobs?

Nationals have the bases loaded with 1 out trailing the Phillies by 1 in the 5th. �� Edit: tie game. Meh. Tigers up 2 - 0 on KC early. There's hope?

I'd love to see him go 8IP with 13K entroute to a 2 - 1 loss that we blow in the ninth. Our only run to come from a Moncada-Bomb. Ain't happening... but I can dream.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) And Giants lose. f***ing 9th inning melt down ( again )!

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 08:16 AM) New Perfect Game 2018 Draft Top 150 Ranking Newly updated top 150 ranking needs a subscription, so if anyone has that and wants to share that would be awesome. The top 10 that they do show is interesting though. 1 Ethan Hankins RHP Forsyth Central (GA) 2 Jarred Kelenic OF Waukesha West (WI) 3 Ryan Rolison LHP Mississippi 4 Casey Mize RHP Auburn 5 Kumar Rocker RHP North Oconee (GA) 6 Jackson Kowar RHP Florida 7 Nick Madrigal 2B Oregon State 8 Brice Turang SS Santiago (CA) 9 Shane McClanahan LHP South Florida 10 Nander De Sedas SS Montverde Academy (FL) I think the big things that stick out to me are that Singer is not even in the top 10, Rolison is #3, and Turang all the way down at #8. It does make me feel better about how much I like Kelenic, but gets me scared that he won't be there when we pick. Hankins at #1 puts the question out there again if a HS RHP will ever go #1. Hah - love it. s***s gonna be flux city for us all to follow like rabbid dogs ?

Huge game tomorrow - it's a must lose. Detroit have Zimmerman going Phillies have Roark Giants have Longhaired Loserface If we could get within 1GB going into the Cleveland series, my hopes will be renewed.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 11:53 PM) GET OFF MY SYSTEM, BRO. After midnight, your glass slipper falls off

For anyone else who's still confused by flavum's Elimination Number shindig... 2.5 GB of the Giants for the 1st 2 GB of Detroit for the 2nd pick 2 GB of the Phillies for the 3rd pick

Just realized that over the past 10 games we've matched the Giants and Phillies - all teams played .500 ball. Oh what could have been.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 05:04 PM) Yep. I said when they held him out the last time that he would need the offseason before he was going to heal. He will need to modify an offseason workout to take the stress off the lower leg and work with different footwear. Ah yes, I recall that distinctly now. ????
