Did Keston not gel with CC or Murphy? There’s got to be something else going on, to not give him a chance this year.

Ricky Bones taught me how to throw a slider. Kinda unique grip, worked pretty good in hs.

Like the history reference.

When the income gap in this country has been getting larger for at least a decade, I say screw the owners, throw that money around more evenly through the minors in my ideal world. Don't know if it's possible but that's what I'd like to see.

If there's a salary cap limit for players, maybe there should be a cap on the percentage of profits an owner can pocket without re-investment. Money definitely needs to be spread out better and if anything all prospects in the minors should band together for a raise.

What about trading Travis Shaw for some pitching and signing Moose?

We need an efficient loogy. Jennings is not good or reliable. Grahaem Lloyd needs a call

For me, It’s not just that Schoop looks lost and swings at everything the worst part is he looks physically scared out there in his facial expression. Anybody else notice that? Maybe that was how he looked in Baltimore playing but I get no confidence he’s comfortable and on his game and focused.

or Curtis Leskanic

We need Derrick Turnbow

We've all gotten new jobs where it just "clicks" or doesn't with our co-workers/bosses. Schoop definitely looks uncomfortable right now. Hopefully he regains some confidence because his swing and ball/strike recognition is comically bad right now. So bad I'm thinking/hoping his head must not be right.

There is also adrenaline, levels of confidence, concentration, etc. I think "clutchness" or whatever word you want to use, can exist. "In the zone" is a phenomenon many basketball players claim is real whereby performance is elevated.

Hell no. Rather just ride out a Suter/Woodruff/Guerra battle for starting pitching improvement. Haven't gotten sustained good pitching from them yet

Drop Corey Ray Add Matt Manning

Anyone know why owning a baseball team has been so profitable "of late"? I know concession prices and gear prices are out of hand but that 1.5 billion profit is beating inflation by 1.3 billion.
