How bad is AAA pitching? Royce Lewis got sent down because he was absolutely abysmal offensively and then went nuclear in AAA. He gets called back up and immediately looks garbage. @Twins
Still waiting to see why the @Cubs had to pay so much to lure Counsell away from Milwaukee. It seems he hasn’t really taken Chicago to the next level (at least not for what he’s being paid), while the @Brewers haven’t missed a beat.
@IsaacOkoroFan Defense, fit, chemistry, winning basketball…those don’t matter. Cavs have guys that can fill a fantasy team stat sheet. Isn’t that what’s important?
@Camden_Cash That’s a foul on KAT. That said, offensive players use their off-arm all the time and nothing is ever called, even on reviews. So there’s a reason they chose to enforce it this time.
@jackgorman216 Garrett/Monken hadn’t talked, @browns pushed the bonus back, they traded him the first day possible…this has been done for a little while, they just didn’t announce it. That’s why 95 didn’t have to request anything. Don’t believe the garbage that this just came together.
@RuiterWrongFAN A quality, young replacement for a generational talent. Don’t forget about that first round (borderline second) pick. That’s not the haul a guy like Garrett should bring back.
@BigJakeCLE And that first is almost a second (Rams will be a contender). The second is in 2028 and the third is in 2029. So not even immediate impact. Starting to believe those that said Monken was brought here to be the fall guy the next season or two. They’ll hire THEIR guy then.
@SamuelAdams_12 Managers might be the most overpaid people in the game because they’re not actually allowed to manage anymore. They’re just faces for predetermined moves and actions taken based on what an analytical team says should be done.
Whoever decided to go with the piggyback approach with Miller and Castillo fit the @Mariners should be fired. Assuming it was Wilson, but perhaps it was the front office. Either way, it’s a terrible call. Miller hooked from a 71-pitch gem because they needed to get Castillo in.
@Danagardens@Reds There’s a chance Nick Mahrley’s umpiring performance gets outdone in this Yankees-A’s game. Last time I watched Jen Pawol behind the plate she was absolutely abysmal. We’ll see how this goes.
@Danagardens@Reds I actually think most umps have been better, probably because they know they can immediately be called on it when they miss. For this guy to miss so many already tells me he’s just straight garbage.
