No one has ever said how well Ohtani speaks and understands English.

His comment to me to toughen up was so fucking stupid, that I just ignored it.

Trini Lopez was better hitter.

I have never seen a catcher drop so many. Ever.

what happened?

He's getting $3.25 Million this year, arb-eligible next 2 years. Non=tender is possible. Send him down for a month, see if he snaps out of it. He looks done.

Wouldn't bother me if they started Crochet once a week like they do for Short in minors.

"Trying to run Crochet into the ground" is an exaggeration.

C'mon, man. You can do better.

Geez, it looks like I ran into the Jake Eder Fan Club. After reflecting, I'll put Jake in the same list but at # 10. But, I'm pulling for him.

I just don't see him in the top 10 of anything. Horrible trade got him here.

Sooner or later gotta bench Benintendi.

Eder?

How bad will it get if or when the team gives up? For the most part, they seem to be hustling, just outplayed. Or, maybe I'm fooling myself.

That means at least 2 years in Arizona Summer League.

They think we are all stupid and thus manageable.

Benintendi and Maldonaldo keep getting worse. I would have given Beni and error on that slop throw to second on Benson's double.

Pillar at cleanup.

Shaw's gotta be gone this weekend.

So was I.

Too bad they can't call up Popeye to replace Moncada.

Our ancient catcher sure had trouble holding Kopech. He obviously had big time stuff.

Why is Tim Hill on this team?

You're prob right. I'm impulsive. I just don't think 30 days now in Kanny would destroy him. He is prob back at ST facility taking batting practice, playing catch, and lifting weights.

Back to Wolkow. What if he started season at Kanny. Let's just say that he is overmatched and struggles for 30 games or so, since that's the conventional wisdom. Is he ruined for life? If he does struggle, send him back to Rookie League next month. If he hits well there, bring him back to Kanny. Let's find out how good he is or isn't.
