Grade 80 pitch face, good call!

Honestly, the thing the thing that will worry me the most is if he starts making contact, but they aren't resulting in HR or hard hit balls. If he loses his ability to crush baseballs, even if the contact is not frequent, then he's just a guy who takes a lot of walks, but doesn't even have the speed to do anything with it.

Welcome! I love hearing stories like this. I find it so interesting how people like you (and Feeky) end up choosing a less popular team across the world to root for.

Retaining those 2020 season ticket holders!

I disagree. I think he would be far less valuable of a prospect obviously, but there are plenty of 1B/DH types who are massive power/walk/strikeout guys. He can still be a decent major leaguer with his offensive skillset alone, it just obviously becomes magnified.

As long as he retains his pitch selection and plate vision, I'm still hopeful he can iron out the swing. Not too dissimilar from Moncada right now in the batters box.

Well you can start by not b****ing about Collins every day. That would be great. We get it, he's not doing well. Maybe find something else to complain about, or hell, even talk positively about? But maybe just baby steps for now. And yeah, I'm an milb.tv subscriber, I "actually watch him play this year", yet somehow I resist the urge to repeat myself ad nauseam. Go figure.

I vote we b**** about Collins in every thread in which he doesn't have a good game for the rest of the season. It's really fresh, and not at all annoying to have to skip through.

What was the color? I'm almost certain I am going "midnight silver metallic", but as someone who loves white cares, whenever I see a white Tesla, my mind wanders a bit.

More like one of the luckiest pitchers in baseball this year.

Anecdotal, but he crushed that HR yesterday through the wind. It didn't have huge distance, but it was loud off the bat and the wind was knocking everything down to LF that day. The girlfriend was making fun of how tiny he is right before that pitch.

They even joked about how Hostetler HAS to say they are wanting to go under-slot, and even joked he would be fired if he ever said they planned to go overslot for someone. He said his answer to that question every time will be underslot, no matter what. So don't let that answer affect anything.

"Who gives a fuck"

I'll take whatever mine was last, ChiliBananaHammock7 or whatever. If it's not easy to figure out, Joey Doughnuts is fine.

I agree. I don't know if it's too much white on white, or maybe because each person's post takes up so much of the screen now, but it is not very asthetically pleasing. Are there options to tweak colors/themes from each users end? Or maybe if we had a couple options of different colors? I honestly can't remember what the old site looked like in terms of background colors and whatnot, but this one seems harder to read.

Not saying Delmonico is even talented enough in LF to make that catch, but what the f*** is the point of slowing up and turning your back to ball to get the hit off the wall, when you know full well the game is over if you don't catch it.... The ball ended up hitting towards the bottom of the wall. He could have at least busted his ass towards the wall and made a leaping attempt. Instead he slows down, turns, and squares up to the wall waiting for the bounce, and then once he fields the bounce it seemed to click in his head that the game was over. Whoops.

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 03:20 PM) Only other thing I wanted to bring up from the Kiley chat was him saying one team in the top 5 is seriously considering Bart. He'll probably mention it when they do the mock, but I just thought that should be brought up considering there is a 20% chance its us. I would say it's a 50/50 chance it's us, otherwise he would have said top 3.

I got an invite to configure my Model 3 a couple of days ago! Although I already knew I would be deferring to the short-range battery, it was still really exciting to get that email and be able to go in and configure my car if I so chose. 6-8 more months, hopefully.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 01:49 PM) What a terrible game to pick to do that for. I need to get back at it. Haven't done anything since I got back from vacation. I'm just glad for that score, the game ended in under 3 hours. My foot was so sore from that. Ha.

Jogged/walked 12 miles today at the gym. I sure hope I can walk tomorrow. My goal was to watch the ENTIRE Sox game at the gym. I made it.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 03:52 AM) My perception at the time was most Sox fans were hoping for a deal centered around Swanson, Benintendi, or Bregman but all 3 were supposedly untouchable. Right. I'm saying excluding those that were supposedly untouchable, nearly every mock deal I can remember centered around Maitan and/or Albies.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 07:46 PM) Dunning perhaps the victim of some bad luck. 7IP, 7K, 0BB, 8H, 1HR, 4ER. Two errors tonight for WS behind him although all his runs were earned. He had a .76 ERA coming in which "ballooned" to 2.60. He should be in AA by June, right? I would bet before that even. No more than a month from now.

QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 01:14 AM) At the time of the Sale trade Acuna wasn't ranked very highly (bottom of the top 100). It wasn't until last year that he just exploded up the rankings. I recall it was Dansby that everyone wanted from the Braves for Sale I recall it being Maitan, with Albies being mentioned as well.

They could also give the NL the DH finally. It would not only reduce the amount of pitchers used in NL games, it would also likely cut down on both strikeouts AND walks at the same time. Although intentional walks don't take 90 seconds anymore, they still occur CONSTANTLY in front of pitchers batting in NL games. And then the pitcher comes up and strikes out probably 50-60% of the time. If the issue is more action and excitement, then stop neutering the #8 hitter in NL line-ups any time a 6th or 7th hitter gets an extra base hit with 1 or 2 outs. And don't make us watch a pitcher strike out with bases loaded or a couple guys on base.

Just watched the Adolfo HR from today. He look a low and away fastball out to LF field. He reached for it. He's hella strong.
