    Just hang in there, get Woody back, get Ashby and Wilson back to get some LHRP reinforcements, and they'll have the staff to compete with anyone in a 7-game series.

    And the north side of Chicago...

    Devin Williams threw 13 pitches yesterday, didn't pitch the day before, and threw six pitches the day before that. Peguero threw 9 pitches yesterday, didn't pitch the day before, and threw six pitches the day before that. I'd be surprised if those guys are unavailable.

    Well, from what I've seen, Urias has been outstanding defensively this year. A lot better than the dWAR that Fangraphs and B-R are giving him. He's handled a lot of balls that had rocket EVs, which I don't know is captured in those defensive metrics. Turang has a .927 OPS in AAA, so he's earned his way back up. Looks like it was 3 days too late to avoid using one of his options as he was optioned on June 7th. Hopefully this is the only year that he uses an option.

    Is the solution Christian Yelich? He was drafted as a 1B. If Frelick can get back on track he can play LF. Anderson/Perkins can play RF. Or maybe it's acquire an OF and move Yelich to 1B.

    Slightly off-topic, but I discovered a wonderful solution about a decade ago. One of my friends from CA who is from WI was back in WI visiting and we went to a game. I had recently moved back to WI and didn't have a portable grill and didn't really want to fork over $50 or whatever for a small grill that I wasn't going to use very often. My buddy and I are both huge Rocky Rococco fans, so we ordered takeout from the one on Bluemound and then took Bluemound all the way to the stadium parking lot. Set up a table, dropped a large Rocky's on it, ate pizza, drank beer, and didn't have to light anything, wait for food to cook, or wait for a grill to cool down afterwards before putting it away. The group of youngsters next to us who were struggling with their little grill... you should have seen the look on their faces. They learned some wisdom from their elders that day.

    Perhaps the most amazing thing about tonight was Williams throwing a 6-pitch inning. That's typically one batter.

    Yelich is having a fine season, but he's 15th among NL OF in OPS. Several guys would have to back out before it would get to him.

    Someone agrees with me. 😁 https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10080431-mlb-mock-draft-2023-predictions-for-1st-round-picks-college-world-series-edition

    I wouldn't trade Burnes for less than two starting pitching prospects regardless of how many position players are included. Rays would need to add another arm to that deal.

    Depends on your source. Fangraphs has Gonzalez at #34 and I've seen some mocks where he drops to the Brewers. Shaw is #18 on MLB.com and a few other places. MLB.com has Wolters at #35, Davis at #39, and Whitman at #46. I tend to lean towards MLB.com just like I lean towards NFL.com because they have access to the most team scouts/player personnel people. When it comes to signability, bonus pool manipulation, inability to trade up/down, anything can happen in the MLB draft. It was a tossup between Wilken and Taylor. MLB.com has Wilken at #24 and Taylor at #30. While Taylor is more athletic (24 SBs, 0 CS last two seasons), Taylor's K rate increased significantly in 2023 (14.8% in 2022 to 18.7%). I do like that Taylor is LHH, but the K% increase is a bit concerning and perhaps he's striking out more in an attempt to hit more long balls. Wilken's >.500 OBP tipped the scales for me.

    And May 15th. Take that game away and the Brewers RD is -3 and the Cardinals is -27. Hell, just take away the 8th inning of that game and the run differentials are Brewers -11 and the Cardinals -19. I've said this before and I'll say it again, Pythagorean/run differential should only include two standard deviations from the median and should exclude the 2.5% largest wins and 2.5% largest losses.

    Everyone looks good in highlights film. It just seems odd that a 3rd-year college player averaging less than 7ppg as a starter goes #36 overall. I could understand if he was a freshman or if he was behind other star players, but a 3rd year player and starter is a bit odd.

    Hopefully Fresno doesn't get a professional team any time soon...

    Every other half inning they were in the dugout in the shade or could sneak back into the clubhouse for some A/C. They got less sun exposure than you did. Also, when on the field you can move around, somewhat generating your own breeze and cooling you off. I used to play beach volleyball in Southern CA, and I've always felt hotter just laying in the sun than I did playing volleyball.

    No NIL. UCLA made him pay his own way on an unofficial. Nothing more than a 17-year-old kid from the midwest falling in love with LA. On the flip side, looks like they just got 2025 QB Landyn Locke, younger brother of Braedyn Locke.

    Braun's OPS+ from '13-'19 were 136, 113, 131, 135, 111, 107, 116. Yelich's OPS+ for 2023 is 120. It's pretty close.

    The father of Braves player Charlie Culberson was scheduled to throw out the first pitch before today's game. The Braves DFA'd Culberson right before the game.

    Doesn't look like the US Open is playing the way they had hoped. Two players (Fowler, Schauffele) shot -8 on the first round, Harman is at -6 through 12 holes and Rory -5 through 12 holes, and 61 are at even or better with many not finishing the first round yet. If I'm reading correctly, some players have only finished 9 holes. How does that happen?

    Unless Tom has made significant strength gains in the offseason, I don't see him at center. He struggled with anchoring against bigger DEs (Rams game) last year, much less NT/DTs.

    I am absolutely shocked that UW does not give its employees off on Juneteenth.

    Olson pitched well in 2022, but didn't exactly earn the promotion in 2023. 1.745 WHIP and 5.4 BB/9 in AAA before the callup. Career 4.0 BB/9 in the minors, so his 2022 was more of the outlier. I didn't like the trade either, but at this point it isn't a win for Detroit.

    Here's a great article written by one of my professional colleagues on the psychological impacts of being unemployed.

    Schanuel has played some OF this spring, and some scouts believe he can play corner OF. Over the last two seasons he has 25 SB vs 2 CS, giving reason to believe he's athletic enough. Question is if his arm is adequate for RF or if he can only play LF.
