@JonPgh Might as well throw Bauer in there while you're at it 😅

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

@EricCross04 Zach Wheeler top 20 even with all these others healthy is wild much less with so many out as you mentioned haha

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

Like the saying goes... If it ain't broke, don't fix it

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

Bryce Miller in the first inning tonight: fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

@evilghosty111 I like Vargas the best of all the players you mentioned. If you can do Abrams and Julien that is a definite go so I'd start there!

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

@SPStreamer People always trying to replace Cole... It's like how we spent years comping one guy after the next to Trout. just take the consistently dominant guy and be happy with it

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

@SPStreamer I never rinse

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

Pirates on a 4 game skid so let's see how much the rest of the division has caught up... Ohh. I see

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

@DerekVanRiper They could've at least used one of the 'better' bad pen arms...

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

Tell us you're tanking and don't care about winning without telling us you're tanking and don't care about winning.

A's: put Richard Lovelady in for the 8th with a no hitter in progress

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

We got falae advertising tonight. The only thing that was 'Lite' about that Miller pitching duel was both lineups attempting to get hits

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

Fun read that does a good job of addressing multiple aspects of pitcher development from a fly over level ⬇️⬇️

[Travis Sawchik @Travis_Sawchik]

Spencer Strider essentially reverse engineered the Jacob deGrom fastball. The pitch is essentially a laser beam. It's all you really need as arm to dominate, but building it is quite another thing:

@EricCross04 Fun to read so many different opinions though given that it is more open ended

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

@EricCross04 I think this question needs a lot more context to be answered. Real life or fantasy? Just rotation or whole staff? Truly developed the whole way (home grown) or trade and tweaked/tinkered?

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

Naturally, Kyle Wright was cooking today but only went 3 innings because of weather delay... 😞

[Ryan Divish @RyanDivish]

Lefty Robbie Ray is done for the season. He will flexor tendon repair surgery.

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

He is ALWAYS underrated

[Y A N T S @YancyEaton]

Early returns from Randy Arozarena are encouraging. ADP ended at 38th overall in Main Events.

5 HR
24 RBI (3rd in MLB)

18 Runs (10th in MLB)
#2 on @Razzball's Player Rater behind Acuña

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

So at what point do we actually entertain the idea that the Pirates might actually be something?

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

@SPStreamer Webb this high is also pretty surprising to me

[Peyton Skinner @prospectpeyton]

@Upper_Beck Sounds like Westburg is still in the shadows with that loaded org
