Brody Hopkins continues to dominate with eight strikeouts across six scoreless innings 🔥
The @Mariners' No. 22 prospect has a 1.57 ERA with 35 K's over 25 2/3 IP in his past five starts for the Single-A @ModestoNuts:
Smith and Hopkins are the M’s 12th and 22nd rated prospects, respectively. They were playing A ball. It doesn’t sound like much of a return but it will take a few years to determine that. For now, these players won’t be helping the Rays at the Major League level.
The Tampa Bay Rays have traded OF Randy Arozarena to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for RHP Brody Hopkins, OF Aidan Smith and a player to be named later.
What we learned about Trump's game from Dechambeau's video:
-He parks his cart wherever the F he wants.
-He ain't no club champ, not with a yippy putting stroke + hopelessly flat swing.
--His drives go no more 215 yards. That's not gonna win diddly, much less "23 titles."
This is not sour grapes because I said this last summer when we weren’t a regular season conference champion that had won 22 of last 24 games in a good conference: 1) the NET needs to be tweaked and 2) the NCAA tournament should be expanded to at least 80 teams. There are now 362 D1 basketball teams (compared to 282 teams when current bracket was adopted) and the event would still be one of the most challenging postseasons to reach in sports at 22%. I wouldn’t even be opposed to the NCAA tournament absorbing the NIT completely and going to 90+ teams with no other postseason tournament. I think all of the teams in this year’s NCAA field are deserving. But I also think there are a handful of other deserving teams and @USFMBB is one of them. So, in summary, let’s find a way to improve the NET and let’s adapt to a reasonable increase in field size for the NCAA tournament. 🤘🏀
The Lions/Bucs game on October 15 has been flexed to 4:25pm, moving from 1pm. Still on FOX, that’s the Creamsicle game. The network, and the nation, is taking notice of the Bucs’ strong start.
#Rays Glasnow was scheduled for four innings/60 pitches tonight in his 2nd rehab start for AAA @DurhamBulls. He left the game after 1 inning and 11 pitches. Waiting for an update/reason from Rays.
