  1. Kevin Gausman, Baltimore's #2 prospect behind Dylan Bundy, has put in 35 2/3 innings at AA Bowie. He's 1-2 with a 3.53 ERA. Not numbers that jump out at ya. His WHIP, however, is outstanding: 1.065. I had to do a double take, thinking MLB.com had his walks wrong. The site showed 32 strikeouts and 1 walk. 1 walk in 35 2/3 IP. I checked Baseball Reference. The numbers are right. He currently has a 32:1 K:BB ratio. When was the last time you saw that at any level of baseball? I don't think I've even done that in a video game before.
  2. Well, the smart money would be to find a scout in the Rays organization that feels he's underpaid, throw some bucks at him, and get him scouting for us. Great scouts don't develop arm problems, or have to worry about hitting a curve ball. If we have a little less money to play with, let's give some more to talent evaluators so we hit on pitching prospects a little more often.
  3. I don't think so. The prospects listed are in the top 100 lists for the 3 sites I frequent most. I do agree with you, however, that the Brewer minor league talent is somewhat underrated.
  4. We have 8 hits. 5 were in the first inning. After an explosion to start the game, our offense has gone night night.
  5. Nothing ironic about it, as I mentioned that Odorizzi was drafted by the Brewers in my first post. The list you're referring to was meant to show that teams with similar financial means have been able to load up on upper echelon pitching prospects. To be honest, I don't care how we get great arms in our system. Draft and develop, or acquire via a trade. But I think it's pretty clear that we don't have any real great arms in the minors right now. I'm hoping Thornburg proves his critics wrong. We'll see.
  6. The Ranger broadcasters said that Peralta's strikeout pitch is the slider, and at least thus far, he's not getting good command on it. They pointed to that as the reason for his lower strikeout total in the Majors.
  7. I agree, and initially I had the players not originally drafted by their current team designated as such before I simplified the list. The thinking behind the list is that even teams with payrolls similar to ours are able to acquire top-tier young arms. The Rays ability to draft and develop young arms have helped them stock up even more. Trading James Shields and getting back Wil Myers AND Odorizzi was a coup. Hell, I'm not convinced that Mike Montgomery, who the Rays also got as part of the deal iirc, won't bounce back going through the Tampa machine
  8. I get the majority of my prospect information from Baseball America, MLB.com and Baseball Prospect Nation, and come up with a composite list. I agree that the Pirates are pretty close to the Cardinals. If Josh Bell is able to recover from his injuries, it's very close. Marte is outstanding, and I like Cole and Taillon a lot.
  9. 34 pitches thrown. I'm not so much worried about the score as I am Wily's health. He's laboring, and I don't want him to throw his arm out. Mercifully, Soto pops up to end it.
  10. Why is he still in there? He's getting lit up. Do we need to allow them to tie it up before he gets the hook?
  11. I thought Peralta was supposed to be a strikeout pitcher? He's not fooling anybody on the mound.
  12. Another case of the Brewer bats starting off with a lot of runs in the first, and then doing nothing to rest of the game. We're allowing the Rangers to creep back into this game.
  13. Ranger chuckleheads are saying "we heard bat". No kidding, it bounced off his hand and hit the bat.
  14. To me, that's one of the iconic plays of the 60s and 70s. Another is Clemente catching a ball in right, and in one movement spinning, and throwing an absolute missile to third on the fly. How many Gold Gloves did those two guys have between them? I'm guessing close to 30. I checked. 28. Wow.
