Jose Abreu

Nice Cordell

Cool. Now demote him to Kannapolis until he learns not to swing at the first 3 pitches.

Many scouts thought he was MLB ready when we signed him in 2017 and you want him to stay in the minors until late 2021? Who cares about k-rate when the guy hits lasers every time he makes contact? What does he have to gain from that?

Interesting

This doesn't apply to Tim Anderson. Absolutely no shot that any left fielder throws him out tagging to second from the warning track.

Lopez needs to tone down that celebration, respect the game! Next time he bats in a game he should get plunked!

Yeah, he had hit 97 and 98 multiple times before that pitch. One of their many errors today

I'm not as anti-Benetti and Stone as the rest of you but they've been awful today. Keep saying incorrect things

Since there was no game today there was no media scrum, so I'd expect something tomorrow

Nobody

Anderson

I see. Gameday says it wasn't but it's probably just not accurate.

Was it really a SB or did he just advance on the wild pitch?

I don’t care how much Robert K’s in A+ because his BABIP is relatively sustainable. If you put an MLB quality player in A+ he’ll have an abnormal BABIP. Example: Juan Soto

Troutwine has been awesome at the plate but I’m a big Carlos Perez guy. Think he’ll be quality MLB backup catcher. Love his offensive approach.

Couldn't agree more. We know what Sanchez is. We don't know what we have in the young, natural shortstop who slugged .500 at AAA. He needs ABs.

Some of these threads are cancer. You'd think people would be more patient as major busts Moncada and Anderson are having all-star seasons.

Awesome if true. With the new free agent landscape, service time is less of a concern since everyone is agreeing to team-friendly extensions.

But Ryan Pace just got fired with this draft, one prominent NFL executive just texted me...

The sample size is irrelevant but it also makes no sense to bat the best hitter in the lineup 5th. Even last year it was a bad decision, since he needed more reps against LHP

This might qualify as political and if so I apologize, but it's very interesting to me. This guy, Derek (Roland) Black is my TA in a class on the history of white supremacy right now. I've been interacting with him for weeks and only just learned that he is David Duke's godson, a former white nationalist and presumed future leader of the KKK, who saw the light so to speak a few years ago and now speaks out against the very tenets he was brought up with.

From the same guy:
