Good AB by Lo Cain all things considered. That change up is really giving the boys problems. He had a couple nasty tailing changes to Rowdy but flattened it up vs Renfroe and Cain and got the same results. Hopefully next time through they can see it more clearly and get that timing down.

Thank the Heavens. Real baseball is back! I am still processing Hoby Milner making the Opening Day roster. I’ll report back after my Therapist tells me how to cope with my rough case of ‘Longing for Luis’. I’m coming out blazing with: Admiral Adames will lead the Crew and Battlestar Burnes to victory today.

I am wondering if the Padres feel as tho they found another Trent Grisham diamond in the rough? Either way, this is the type of move you make when your organization has quite possibly the best pitching staff in all of baseball. It will be fun to see how it plays out.

Thank you, once again, @reillymcshane. I truly LOVE these posts. I'd like to take a moment to share a few things: (1) As a kiddo growing up, I was also a shrimp. Tho, I did ultimately grow to 6'3" with decent size and strength for a college athlete, throughout my younger days and into early high school I was a mere 5'7" and frail as a twig. I loved soccer, basketball, and baseball at the time but can distinctly remember feeling like an absolute twerp while everyone else was growing and strengthening around me. I truly considered Tiny one of my Brewers heroes. He had appeal to fellow shorties - especially kiddos, in my mind's eye at least - in those cups of coffee and part-time-player roles in the 1980's into the early 1990's. (2) He actually became a beloved San Francisco Giant in his brief time there. I followed him, albeit from a distance, when he first left the Crew in 1991/1992. He still lacked any power in those 2 Giant seasons (hitting only 4 or 5 HR's if memory serves?), but he actually hit quite well and continued to steal some bases. Those Giant teams weren't very good, if you recall, as I believe those were the last 2 years pre-Bonds who came aboard just after. The point is: It was just an improbable 2 year run for him and I can remember being super happy for him way back then. I think, if memory serves (sorry, too lazy to look it up! Eeeeek), he even was nominated for a couple 2-3 players of the week (!!) in the NL. It was so awesome as a closet Felder fan. I only remember this because, at the time, I wore it like a Badge of Honor. (3) Lastly, and I honestly have no idea why I know this, but, Mike ended his career with 161 steals. This is not even top 500 in total MLB steals, but, it is tied with Dale Murphy, which in and of itself is mildly hilarious. When I first learned this some years ago, I tipped a beer to both.

So, a late Rd IDL/DT prospect. Interesting. Seems about right.

Filing a Tax Extension: (1) I am asking to file because I don't know how much I owe and I have many anomalies to traverse to determine what I owe (2) You want me to guess what I owe and, then, in good faith choose to pay a sum in advance to prevent further interest? Just give me a portal where I can: (1) Pay a set amount to file an extension (2) Fill the Form and Pay in the same place. I swear...it never ceases to amaze me how cumbersome the IRS makes their process. Never.

Nothing like continuing to trounce the Bulls...in Chicago, no less. The Bucks signed a somewhat intriguing Playoff-oriented bench PG in Luca Vildoza. He's a very very crafty PG and is also a wee bit of a hot head - which, surely, opposing fanbases will love. At the bare minimum, he'll elevate those garbage minutes to palatable basketball for the eyes.

Indeed and, really, just as one suspected (if they were being reasonable). I completely understand it for Davante - as I said at the time. And, in the end, I think it is simply the best thing for both parties. I'm really not all that into paying 30 yo WR's that amount of money - historically, it just typically doesn't pan out - and you just don't want to force a player to play for your team if he simply doesn't want to play and doesn't care about more money. We get the draft picks, and we can add some more talent. Sometimes, we can say: Win and Win. Davante is an easy professional athlete to root for. The ultimate professional in preparation and he never once caused a single problem while with the Packers. I wish him all the best in Oakland and I'm excited to see what comes of the new flexibility and draft capital on the Packers side of things.

Conference is definitely the most important and really only important entity now a days. The primary motivation the Division holds, and only one at that since there is no auto Playoff entrant for the Division winner, is it limits the travel time and distance for those 16 games (Divisional foes play each other 4x in the regular season). Bucks, Bulls, Pacers, Cavs, Pistons

Really hoping Joe Gray Jr. finds that success he found in Carolina and builds some more momentum for his career. Some interesting stories in that pitching staff to boot. Love the stories of Meeker and Gillies. Really hope Kelly sees a promotion by Mid Summer - that would mean good good things.

So, what will happen with Zhao, Rodriguez, Brustoski, and Castillo? Do they stay in Arizona?

Nick Bennett breaks minor league camp off this outing btw:

I am sensing Biloxi may have a more enjoyable season in 2022. This is a fun roster with good upside. i guess I could have just said: “What Garrett Greene said”

Well, have any of us asked the obvious question: Did they get pregnant? I sure as heck hope so!

I am obviously not a Draft 'expert' but I can offer some tid bits as to why he may be falling: * With the addendum, as we know, all it takes is one team to fall in love with a guy to defy the general consensus so you may be spot in with what you see. * Here is a distillation of Tony Pauline's latest offerings in his Pod with Trey Wingo he does weekly leading up to the draft (Keep in mind, Burks is still a top 5 WR on the cumulative PFN Draft Analyst Top 300 Big Board): (Full article here: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-draft-rumors-will-tyler-linderbaum-and-treylon-burks-fall-out-of-round-1/)

I am prepared for this heartbreak. However, if there is a year to lose out on your top wideout this is One of those years. There is a lot of depth and a lot of ways the Packers could go to restock the WR Room. Related to this depth: Drake London's Pro Day has been re-scheduled for April 15th. That's a pretty big one. If London tests well, he will most likely move up Boards. There are questions from analysts I have listened to re: the quantity of contested catches. Is he a contested catch artist, like Mike Evans and Tee Higgins? Or is he a, for example N'Keal Harry or Hakeem Butler? He is already capable of pretty handily beating the high level Press at the NCAA Level. Teams will want to see those explosive numbers to see if they can project him to the NFL level.

Ugh. Was really looking forward to seeing Severino at the plate. This is a big ‘Oooof ta!’.

Whoa, I just saw this: That's a wild trade!
