MLB Prospect Guy. NFL fanatic.

Sadly a Royals fan, proudly a Chiefs fan.

Shohei Ohtani has now gone 3 straight starts without giving up a hit in the first 3 innings.

He's also gone 9 straight innings (and counting) without giving up a hit.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

Important couple of weeks for Edwin Arroyo. If he can prove he belongs, you'd have to think it's Matt McLain that'll be headed back down to Triple A Louisville when Elly De La Cruz returns.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

I just want to take full credit for jump starting Acuna and Tatis.

You're on your own with Tucker and Vladdy

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

Kyle Tucker, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Ronald Acuna Jr., & Fernando Tatis Jr. :

875 PA - 9 HR

Casey Schmitt, Miguel Vargas, Liam Hicks, Dillon Dingler:

839 PA - 45 HR

Everyone protect your hamstrings. There's a hamstring epidemic going on right now.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

Brennen Davis has been out of the line-up 2 days in a row for Triple A Tacoma. Went and checked, looks like he pulled his hamstring his last AB on Friday. He couldn't even make it half way up the line.

A career plagued by injuries continues onward. No word on severity.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

Go get Edwin Arroyo in your leagues. Elly De La Cruz appears to have suffered a leg injury and it would be surprising if it wasn't serious enough to require an IL stint based on how he was hopping around on one leg.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

After the Guardians decided to overpay for one of the worst offensive catchers in baseball, it's important to note that Cooper Ingle is playing LF for the first time in the minors today.

He also homered his first AB.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

The Cardinals very much did not expect to compete this season. And they very well may not, but right now, they are.

Continuing to run out Nolan Gorman is actively hurting any small chance they have at keeping this going.

Do the right thing and call up Blaze Jordan now.

@JeffPassan Hit his 19th tonight, Jeff.

[Charlotte Knights @KnightsBaseball]

Jacob Gonzalez has 8 hits in his last 8 at-bats! And four of them have been this!!! 🔥🔥

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

Jacob Gonzalez, who was 3 for 4 tonight with his minor league lead tying 19th HR, was promptly removed from the game after Murakami's injury.

Should Murakami need to go on the IL, there's now little doubt it'll be Gonzalez getting his first MLB promotion.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

Guess we’re about to see what Jacob Gonzalez has at the MLB level.

[Underdog MLB @UnderdogMLB]

Murakami left game after this play.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

It's Curtis Mead's world now.

@idk_anymorebru You’re drawing your own narrative. All I stated was these are the worst performers so far. I didn’t say I’m out on them, I didn’t say they’re bad players.

@NoogaBaseball I knew I forgot one. Dang it.

Gil certainly deserves conversation in the 25-30 range.

@RotoGinger Keep reading, he's an honorable mention.

Answer is simple - Swing and miss. I'd still have him as a Top 150 overall prospect, so I think highly of him, but needs to get the whiff under control.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

@IrwinEmFletcher with these rankings. A lot of them are so close in value and all of them of the potential to be excellent big leaguers, Culpepper included.

[Active Antics @ActiveAntics]

@IrwinEmFletcher I wouldn't say I'm that low on him to be honest, I'm just higher on the others than him. All of these guys would basically be inside my Top 100 overall. It's an insane bunch.

Compared to the others ahead of him, little lower on the hit tool.

You're splitting hairs (cont'd)
