Autumn Dreamin Posted Thursday at 10:47 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:47 PM https://www.mlb.com/news/new-pitchers-ready-for-marlins-to-call-pitches-from-dugout The Marlins will be calling games from the dugout this season, and the Giants and Rockies might follow suit. Kinda surprised there's not more consternation about it. Also wonder what it does to the trade value of pitchers/catchers who end up with no experience calling games. They can't use Pitchcom for it (yet?) so perhaps a savvy opposing team can find ways to quickly relay the calls to batters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all plays in the NFL called by the coaches not the QB like in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted Friday at 03:10 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:10 AM (edited) Pat Murphy of the Brewers signed an $8.95 million contract extension for/through 2029... A lot of money for a limited payroll/ small market team. Edited Friday at 02:24 PM by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted Friday at 02:23 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:23 PM (edited) Pablo Lopez likely out for the season. Twins pretty much have to trade Joe Ryan and Buxton now. https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/pablo-lópez-injury-swings-the-door-wide-open-for-mick-abel-r19813/ Edited Friday at 03:12 PM by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted Friday at 05:48 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:48 PM Bryan Ramos probably would have looked good about now. Jordan Westburg has a partial UCL tear in his right elbow and will be getting a PRP injection today, per Orioles POBO/GM Mike Elias. Westburg will be out for all of April. Timeline TBD after that. — Jake Rill (@JakeDRill) February 20, 2026 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted Friday at 06:25 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 06:25 PM Somebody just mentioned this... The Baltimore Orioles have acquired 3B Bryan Ramos from the Cardinals, per sources. Ramos was previously traded from the White Sox to Baltimore, later designated for assignment by the Orioles and claimed by the Cardinals. Now, he returns to the Orioles once again. — Francys Romero (@francysromeroFR) February 20, 2026 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have traded Lopez a long time ago. You don't agree with their strategy of trying to extinguish a fire sale halfway through? 😅 Twins not being able to cash out on Lopez and Guards not being able to cash out on Clase are both potentially high impact non-moves for the division power balance. Skubal could join that list soon depending on how that shakes out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But safety/security seems to be the buzz word of the day...that Orange County/Disneyland stretch is much safer in general than the majority of big city/urban environments.

WestEddy Posted Saturday at 05:17 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:17 PM Merk's notes White Sox prospect certainly felt his 1st spring HR: 'Reality hit there' Quote Cannon, who is battling for the one or two spots open in the White Sox rotation, was happy with his effort Friday. He allowed one run over 1 2/3 innings, striking out three and walking one. He was touched up on Seiya Suzuki’s home run in the first. “Wanted to work on the two fastballs, sinker and four-seam,” Cannon said. “That’s kind of been a point of emphasis this spring, working on that sinker and kind of using both of those fastballs. And then just kind of dialing back in the offspeed command. “I thought that could be better, that was just kind of the point of improvement going forward, could definitely be more in the zone a little bit more. But overall, I thought it was good, a lot to build off of, long spring ahead.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
