Great article detailing one of the biggest and most under-publicized problems facing baseball today

[Céspedes Family BBQ @CespedesBBQ]

A few weeks ago the Giants beat the Dodgers 29-2… in the Arizona Complex League.

I wrote about what the hell happened and why it’s a symptom of something much bigger going wrong in the low-level minor leagues.

“It’s a total s*** show.”

@RyanDivish @A_Jude Plus, he once revealed to me that seeing the mighty Tower Bridge is on his bucket list

Great career for a Rainiers legend

I am aware that I am not the target audience of the Sunday Night Baseball intro song, but can we at least have a band without bongo drums?

Matt Brash strikes out the side with Tacoma in his inning of relief. All 3Ks swinging, done on 15 pitches. #TridentsUp

Paul Skenes is good and all but he keeps getting worse every year. Something to keep an eye on.

@CespedesBBQ And it's often Tigers so they don't have to pay Benetti's travel expenses lol

I dunno man, whenever I am looking for crypto advice I seek out the opinions of retired sportswriters

[Ryan Divish @RyanDivish]

Yes, @StoneLarry had his account hacked. He knows. He obviously doesn't know what crypto currency is or how to be a coach for it.

Never vote on someone in the running for national podcast

The people that run college sports continue to be literally the stupidist.

Sources: The NCAA has initiated the final steps to expand the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments to 76 teams. The expansion is on track to be formalized in the upcoming weeks, with mid-May as the target. The 76-team tournaments begin next year. https://t.co/2ZGUjZR0uJ

A couple of Rainiers legends looking for work...

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN.

While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston.

Miguel Cabrera with the Utica Blue Sox. The 17-year-old Cabrera played for the short-season Class A Utica Blue Sox in the New York-Penn League, his first stop in professional baseball after signing with the Marlins out of Venezuela.

@Jesus_Cano88 @jnorris427 @BaseballAmerica You brought something new to BA, thanks and good luck.

@azfreedman Shed Long hit one against Salt Lake, prompting the Klauke classic "well... Shed happens."

Today’s whiteboard outside the Mariners’ clubhouse here in Anaheim…

[Alex Pavlovic @PavlovicNBCS]

The highlight of the game so far

[Baseball In Pics @baseballinpix]

Felix Hernandez pitches with the Kings Court in the background.

[Mike Curto @CurtoWorld]

If Delauter is going to hit pitches like that out, I don't see how he finishes with fewer than 250 HRs this year

[Mike Curto @CurtoWorld]

This is awesome. When ABS started in the PCL several years ago, teams had three challenges each. Only once did an umpire go 6-for-6 in a Rainiers game.

[Daniel Kramer @DKramer_]

Both teams are out of ABS challenges tonight here in Seattle, and home-plate umpire Will Little is 4-for-4 on calls confirmed.
