I am very excited to watch Lucas Giolito face this Angels lineup.
Kevin Goldstein
10:03
You should be excited to see him face any lineup, no?
Eric A Longenhagen

Howdy from Phoenix Muni. I'm here to see Chase Silseth and will also be popping in and out of here.

This gap in live games seems like an oversite by MLB on opening day. Couple this with the fact that I couldn't stream my team from the office and It kinda feels like MLB just can't get out of it's own way getting it's product to the people. I know this is a broken record at this point by man, for a day we are all hyped for, the flaw is just so obvious.
Kevin Goldstein
10:04
I mean, hard to blame MLB for the Nats' COVID issues.

exclusive chat news: Jo Adell took Corbin Martin deep in an Alt Site game a few minutes ago.

No EV and launch angle?
Dodger Fan

Hello Kevin, Ben, and Eric!
Eric A Longenhagen
10:06
no idea
Kevin Goldstein
10:06
Hello Dodger fan, thanks for joining us.
A big dumb idiot
10:07
Youre telling me I shouldn't preorder a Julian Merryweather replica Rolaids Relief Award?
Ben Clemens
10:07
The reason you shouldn't do that is unrelated to small samples
Kevin Goldstein
10:07
My god did Merryweather look absolutely nasty today.
Arthur

Hey Eric, I’m in Tallahassee.  Any area prospects I should be looking to watch (aside from FSU games)?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:07
Sounds like you should have been in to see Jackson Baumeister tonight.
Dodger Fan
10:07
Some hard feelings, Kevin! :)
Kevin Goldstein
10:07
I understand. I don't take it personally.
Ben Clemens
10:07
What games are you watching, Kevin and Eric?
10:08
Or, will you be watching, I suppose
I turned on the Angels/Sox game and the first thing I heard was Dexter Fowler's career fielding percentage in right
Eric A Longenhagen
10:08
i'm watching mostly ASU/UofA
and I have the A's/Astros on my laptop
Kevin Goldstein
10:09
I have Angels/Sox on ipad, Astros/A's on second screen.
10:10
I can switch to Ms so one of us is watching that.

Have teams and scouts recognized the recent increase in prep talent in Wisconsin (e.g. Jarred Kelenic, Gavin Lux, Danny Jansen, etc.)? Hitters Baseball in the greater Milwaukee area has been the top prospect producer in the state for years, but Greg Reinhard Academy (former pro player) in the greater Madison area seems to be doing well too.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:10
Yeah they have that little indoor facility along the highway that just gets all the guys. Max Alba, too.
Dodger Fan
10:10
I can distinctly hear trash can bang sounds in the Oakland crowd.
Chamaco
10:10
Adam Eaton is really batting second in that lineup...
Kevin Goldstein
10:10
Yeah, there's video of the intros in Oakland and it was a small, but rowdy crowd.
Ben Clemens
10:11
Eaton sure seems to bat second on a lot of teams
Eric A Longenhagen
10:11
The Cardinals scouting director is here to see SIlseth/Holgate, etc.

I'm excited for Taylor Trammell getting to hit fifth. I don't know if it's going to work for him, but I'm rooting for it to work
Kevin Goldstein
10:12
I really like Trammel as a person, seems to be great, and I love his tools, but I can't get past the Ks and lack of minor league performance to buy into the hype.
Guest
10:14
Speaking of the M's, Marco Gonzalez, mister control, with a 5 pitch walk to the first guy he faces. He struggled in his last 2 spring starts, too.
Kevin Goldstein
10:15
And then he perfectly elevated a FB for a K....
Sam
10:15
Super interested in seeing another full season from Moncada and how that whole BABIP thing he had going on settles in
