Angels batting Matt Duffy cleanup, another .500 season
Ben Clemens
7:04
You guys are pretty confident that a journeyman is going to have the first .500 season in MLB history
Meg Rowley
7:03
A .500 season would be a step up
JJ

Anyone watching the STL game.  MLB has Genesis Cabrera throwing a 93.9MPH changeup then a 93.9MPH 4-seamer?
Ben Clemens
7:04
It's not wrong

Ramirez kinda lines up timewise with their pipeline right? So by end of his deal, prospects would start being contributing players in Majors? Whats the point in getting rid of him
Meg Rowley
7:04
Generally in favor of keeping one of the better players in baseball.
Hot. Take.
7:05
But yeah, they have prospects coming. They'll always be constrained by the payroll, not the dev.
JJ
7:05
Thanks Ben, wish he would throw strikes.  Opening day adrenaline I hope
Ben Clemens
7:05
That and the velo drop are both worrisome
7:06
It's very strange to see the changeup not really down but the fastball way down
Jordan
7:06
Everyone has prospects coming, righ?
Meg Rowley
7:06
Definitely not
Gerald
7:06
They going to extend Judge, re-sign after season, or let him go?
Meg Rowley
7:06
I'll say re-sign after the season
Jordan
7:07
You must also know the winning powerball numbers 4 years from now
Ben Clemens
7:07
13, 15, 21, 25, and your powerball, 53
Meg Rowley
7:07
They have young players, but not every system is good and most aren't as good at dev as Cleveland
Kvn
7:08
The White Sox def do not have prospects coming up.
Jordan
7:08
you're 1 number short ben
Meg Rowley
7:08
But for a good reason! A lot of good ones graduated and are playing well for the big league club.
Jordan
7:08
their record recently does not backup your claims and neither does their world series drought
Meg Rowley
7:09
As I said, the spending (or lack thereof) holds them back pretty meaningfully.
Eno Sarris' Sandwhich Induced Nightmares
7:10
Woah! Bryan Reynolds has at least a 60 grade mustache!
Ben Clemens
7:10
we're just handing out plus mustache grades now, huh?
Meg Rowley
7:10
He could be on Chips
Luke Hooper
7:10
come on, that's a good stache
Eno Sarris' Sandwhich Induced Nightmares
7:11
That's a legit stache
Nearly Mario level
Eel Ffilc
7:11
That's highway patrol quality
Ben Clemens
7:11
it's good, but can it stand the test of time?
I mean, fine, it's good
Farhandrew Zaidman
7:12
The current MLB player with the most 60+ grade tools is....?
Luke Hooper
7:12
Isn't this kind of Bryan reynolds??
Ben Clemens
7:12
Ohtani
he has several sets worth, though, so it's kinda unfair
Luke Hooper
7:12
that's a good point.
Ben Clemens
7:13
I don't know how many 6's Reynolds has
I don't think he has anything worse than a 5 though
