No, the program has real gravitas. Their fanbase travels so well, it's as big deal up there, way bigger than U of Washington baseball or anything like that.
They're the team of that region
Second apron teams incoming
Alex

Slater is a country singer???
Eric A Longenhagen
8:45
I had no iea
idea*
8:46
can you tell I'm flagging?
Cape Cod Tip
8:46
Do not drive in or out at a peak time unless you love pain
Joe
8:47
How close to the ledge should Orioles fans be with the lack of pitching?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:48
I think it'd be fair to ask Elias & Co. how it is they think they're going to come by it. Like, what's the plan? Is it just developing later round guys? I'm cool if that's what it is but feel free to say so to your beat writers or something.
Dan

Thoughts on Voit for the Mets?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:50
Nice 2B prospect, good athlete, I have some swing questions but he's toolsy. They've had success developing two way guys one way.
8:51
Jake Mintz just reminded me Voit was the kid at Michigan who pretended to do the line of coke when he tripled
which i thought was creative and hilarious
MLB Exec Burner
8:51
What projectable pitchers should i target tomorrow?
Eric A Longenhagen
Alex
8:52
Are there teams that are genuinely harder to get source stuff from than others?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:52
omg yes
Mateo
8:52
this is a very on-brand thing for Jake Mintz to have internalized
Eric A Longenhagen
8:53
Jake is on adhd meds, not coke. i could see how it plays like coke, though
Love the Yankees pick. Super projectable, feel for contact, lefty power stick who could end up at many different positions.
Alex
8:54
80 grade name on Dax Kilby
Eric A Longenhagen
8:54
Commish's accent with the names tonight has been beautiful.
Mateo
8:55
Ha, not the coke, specifically. I just mean that he loves whimsy
Eric A Longenhagen
8:55
Oh, yes, he does
Wirefan
8:55
Can Kilby stick at SS long term?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:55
Probably not, I have him in the 3B/RF mix
8:56
Sounds like Root and Davalan for LA here
Samuel Basallo
8:57
Late to the chat - this might've already been asked - but anything to read into with Baltimore taking 2 catchers in the first round?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:57
Nah, just collecting talent
Aurelius
8:57
Do you think Marcus Phillips can be an MLB starter?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:57
I do
8:58
When it comes to that, I think betting on athletes who are built and move like most MLB starters is a good approach, and he has that.
AS
8:59
Is Harold Reynolds drunk or just really clueless?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:59
Has it really been that bad?
9:00
SUmmerhill is coming off the board here with Tampa
Not Harold Reynolds
9:00
I think he's doing really well
Eric A Longenhagen
9:01
I was more curious how DeRosa would do and how he'd prepare
Hawk
9:03
Is there anything you think should change about the draft? Date, ability to trade picks, etc?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:03
I wish it were in June again so I don't have to stary 2026 before this one fires off
