Are we going to do this Rodon velocity thing every start in every gamethread this year?

I for one miss the "Recap" option that they seemingly removed this year under MILB games. Would just have line items saying "Player X grounded out to player Y," for every event that occurred in every inning as it happened.

Ding ding ding. Yup.

Good morning. See below for a BA scouting report and a blurb from the new top 400, He jumped from #198 to #72.

Robert single.

Hey. A Rutherford homer.

Ridic

I've always been on team Benetti. Such a breath of fresh air after the atrocious Hawk. This just cemented it further.

C'mon man. Baseball is a game. Games are fun. Players should get excited. They should be allowed to show it. I want more of it.

So Baseball America extended the draft rankings to 400, and updated the board. Will post the top 15 only since it's premium. Number in parenthesis indicate the previous ranking. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2019-top-mlb-draft-prospects/ 1.) Adley Rustchman 2.) Andrew Vaughn 3.) Bobby Witt Jr. 4.) CJ Abrams 5.) Riley Greene 6.) Corbin Carroll (8) 7.) Nick Lodolo (11) 8.) Hunter Bishop (13) 9.) Bryson Stott (5) 10.) JJ Bleday (21) 11.) Matthew Allan (12) 12.) Josh Jung (9) 13.) Brennan Malone (16) 14.) Zack Thompson 15.) Jackson Rutledge (20)

I think I still prefer Vaughn slightly to both high schoolers.

Yes. Yes, this will do.

I need a Clip/GIF of that bat toss please.

TA. So much swag. Love it.

Kiley chat day. Lotsa draft stuff picked out below. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-4-17-19/

Giolito going to pitch a gem today. I can feel it!

He's always had that.

Oh. The Dash face Brady Singer tonight.

Lambert now with 5 Ks through 5 IP. He might be the only bright spot in Birmingham right now.
