@CoachRobMcCoy Thank you! 4 rings in the family now. Jonathan, Also a W&M grad, is an integral part of our ML ops since 2019. Cheers! None of this would have been possible without W&M baseball, where it all started for us.

@jokeylocomotive And a LAD, MiLB org sweep

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@PitchingNinja First pitch was very rude. Melvin Upton got an INF single in the first inn, questionable scoring, then we were no-hit. He had it working that night and year (2012).

Congratulations to @DCarty_17 and @gavinbstone on being named the Branch Rickey Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Year!

@FutureDodgers Openers second time SP faces a team in the same series.

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@reillocity @GeoffPontesBA 93-96

@BrendanHarris23 Happy New Year, B.

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@paintingcorner Thanks. A little hard to draw the line. Sometimes we also look AA down as well. Not sure the best method.

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@paintingcorner Interesting stuff. When aggregating org PD trends we typically remove AAA guys like Cordero and the hired guns. How are you handling the MiLB Fa bucket and the like?

@IE_MLB Given all of this, was he auto-taking? 3-2 is a heavy chase count, low SLG. BB most likely/best potential outcome LvL vs closer who Brantley knows throws SL greater than 50% vL overall. Slight miscalculation if so bc he’s been more FB heavy vL 3-2 last 3 years and typically IZ

@JGrayy_ Miss you.

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@baseballman914 @PitcherList 🤔. New?

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@JL_Baseball @FutureDodgers Was up to 97 FYI.

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@jokeylocomotive @FutureDodgers For sure. Believe that’s a career high for Zuni, and had the accurate reading from our crew there so thought I’d share. 👍

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@jokeylocomotive @FutureDodgers 99 for the record.

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@TreadAthletics @pschwendel10 From a diff perspective. And I hope he’s good now, would be a great story. A former ok D3 pitcher who is now 32 and hasn’t pitched in affiliated ball since ‘14 (5 yrs ago...) and wasn’t good when he did. Might warrant some track record before taking a valuable roster spot?

@sung_minkim If you don’t have processes to develop your own, you’ve already lost. So.... poaching actually has this inverse effect of making us stronger. People who want to be here, they are here.

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

@sung_minkim Taken as such, and thank you. Other teams repeatedly compliment us in this way. Yet.... is there a measurable improvement for them?

[Will Rhymes @willrhymes]

Thanks Geno!

[Brandon Inge @BrandonInge]

I want to personally thank Coach Gene Roof of the Detroit Tigers on his retirement! You have made such an impact on me and many Tigers players in your 30+ years in the Tigers Organization. Enjoy some free time! @roof3434 @tigers @TurnUpTheHeat15
