i maintain that the bibee extension was smart because now you’re not doing arbitration with 40% of your rotation at once, one of whom is a boras client with cy young potential

@ObxLoving @jacobh_5 We don't, all we know is that kwan is on the family emergency list.

@sarahknowsball Guards yesterday: 0-1

I'm not sure there's a more satisfying feeling in Magic than beating someone after they give you the early "good game" emote on Arena.

@CovertheCorner Reverse the splits and I think it's actually pretty similar

[Matt Dallas (Kahlil Watson Truther) @MattDallas27]

@CovertheCorner @JacobsFieldRBW @PecoraroTommy Good strategy, by tagging me in this you've now engaged the part of my brain that doesn't want to disappoint people and have virtually guaranteed that I'll write something by the end of the summer

[Covering the Corner @CovertheCorner]

Ralphy Velazquez has 250 plate appearances at Double-A and a 171 wRC+ with a 16.9/11.5 K/BB%.

Time to get him to Columbus. Make space. It's time.

[Matt Dallas (Kahlil Watson Truther) @MattDallas27]

I would add to this (and I don’t think eyebrow would disagree) that he doesn’t even have to improve it that much. If he can hover between like 80-85 zcon pretty reliably he’s a sure-fire starter imo

[La Mole @FranmilsEyebrow]

Was looking at this earlier, and I truly believe there’s ONE bar here standing between Kahlil and being an everyday player in Cleveland, right now.

The zone contact.

If he can start making more contact in the zone, and shore up that whiff, he will be a monster.

[Matt Dallas (Kahlil Watson Truther) @MattDallas27]

@Miller18289 I think it’s more likely than not he’s leadoff by end of the year

[Matt Dallas (Kahlil Watson Truther) @MattDallas27]

There’s gonna come a point where Bazzana is ready for the leadoff spot, and I can’t imagine a worse kind of hell as a starting pitcher facing him, Delauter, and Jose to start a game.

Just three brutally tough AB’s. Gonna have a lot of 20+ pitch first innings

Loser behavior. Imagine dedicating any amount of your finite time on this planet to raging about a name change on the internet that happened 5 years ago just because racist old people will give you attention.

Among the most pathetic things I can think of.

[ClevelandDiehard @Rio_dege]

I’ve never seen anything more ridiculous than this . Celebrating a lost World Series year . Only an organization that changed name logo and destroyed history would do this . Bizarre @CleGuardians @KenCarman @SportsBoyTony

[Gage @GageEHC]

The Cinci is in Kentucky thing works so well because Cincinnati folks act like it’s the dumbest thing ever but get enraged about it in the replies. Every. Time.

[Matt Dallas (Kahlil Watson Truther) @MattDallas27]

How can you not be romantic about baseball. The pitcher Tito loved the most in the world teaming up with the pitcher Tito hated the most in the world.

It’s beautiful in a sense.

[Chris AssenheimerC-T @CAwesomeheimer]

Jason Kipnis said Bryan Shaw plans on joining Trevor Bauer with the Long Island Ducks.
He wasn't kidding.

Clase and Edwin Diaz at the cockfighting rings.

[Underdog MLB @UnderdogMLB]

Edwin Díaz linked to illegal cockfighting, per @USAToday.

Díaz: "The cockfighting arena is like my home."

[Matt Dallas (Kahlil Watson Truther) @MattDallas27]

After Cecconi struck out Trout there I’m 99% sure I just lip-read him saying “holy shit, I just struck out Mike Trout”

[Matt Dallas (Kahlil Watson Truther) @MattDallas27]

If tugboat wasn’t a hefty lefty with a funny nickname most of you wouldn’t even know his name much less care that he was traded. He’s a good story but prospect name recognition ≠ prospect quality.

Rooting for the kid, but also feel like the draft pick was the real prize for SF

[Matt Dallas (Kahlil Watson Truther) @MattDallas27]

@singhsports7 @LewBob69_ @LameImpala50 @CLEKY_ @YourFriendKyle_ Better glove and significantly better bat than hedges I don’t care about the 26 numbers for anyone in SF it’s a shitshow top to bottom over there. It’s contagious

He’ll regress to his career numbers which basically means Bo’s bat stapled to Hedges’ glove and that’s a starting C
