30 today. I hate when they tease me with a Reds row to get me excited and then drop the Tampa bomb on me.

Has anyone else noticed the number of Cardinals fans hanging out on this board is significantly smaller than it has been in the past (last place, cough, cough, last place). . Â

The numbers and avgs don't matter a hill of beans to me. I wouldn't have OFFERED CJ Gunn.Â
Evaluation is done in practice. Again, those avgs are nil to me.Â
Paragraph #1: You're playing the hindsight game. A lot of players make a substantial Freshman to Sophomore leap. And, Kaleb Banks flashed some potential in multiple games his freshman season.
Paragraph 2: Whether it turned out to be the correct decision or not, those that saw CJ Gunn in practice thought he deserved a Sophomore year. Guys like you and I didn't see him in practice. Your overall argument condemns Woodson for bringing Gunn back, yet you admit he had an advantage in the ability to evaluate and make a decision. You're using a contradiction to support your message.

Get a backup rim protector at the 5 and call it a year, barring a no brainer move
Gotta use all 13. Â

So much for the Pirates hot start 9-2, they are now 11-11
It will be interesting to see long they hold out on calling up Paul Skenes. He is absolutely dominating in AAA, and they can use a shot in the arm (no pun intended) now that they have hit the skids. If nothing else, he's going to put butts in the seats. Â

In 1977, there were 9 total 20-game winners in MLB. In 2023, there was 1 (Spencer Strider). The AL has not had a 20-game winner since 2019.

Wow….i forgot Smiley pitched for Pittsburgh, and the last time the Pirates had a 20 game winner, I was 9. 😂
The 20 game winner is going the way of the Dodo bird. The top of the rotation guys start 32-33 games and pitch 6-7 innings per game. Just not the opportunities there for them as it used to be. A starter trailing 3-2 after 6 is no longer in the game long enough to get the W for that late rally to win 4-3, Â

Has Pittsburgh had a 20 game winner since Drabek?

LOL. Should have saved this one for High Score Friday,
- I likely wasn't going to get anyone other than Arrieta on Cubs no-no but was expecting it to be around 20%. It was the second square I completed, and it was a sign of things to come. Â
- For the 3rd square I did, I figured Jenkins would be about 10% on Cubs 2K. Miscalculation again.
- The Drabek square takes the cake. WTH? Â
- McCutcheon was my last square, and I was in a 'Who gives a flying f@*# at that point

Umpire Joe West wearing an Astros jersey while behind the plate back in 1982. Would have loved to been in the stands for tat one.

I’m good with last year’s starting backcourt coming off the bench this season. Hope they are as well.
I'll be surprised if Galloway doesn't start. Â

Give ma a 10. The Grid likes my Carl Furillo answer better than the one @IUFLA gave, even if it is same square. Â

Espada's pregame speech to the Astros today should be: "OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!" Damn. Terrible start.Â
Having Verlander back won't hurt.

De La Cruz with a homer and 3 SB
He's starting to put it together. Barring injury, I'm expecting a big year from him. Â

Tuned into the Angels-Reds just in time to see Tyler Stephenson go 2nd deck Big Fly...
Reds offense is anemic right now. Hopefully that bomb is enough. Â

So I don't get the point of autographs any more...
Wasn't it always to "prove" you met someone? With every person on the planet having a camera in their pocket, wouldn't a pic accomplish the same thing, only better? Plus, no writer's cramp Â
Â
Â
An autographed baseball can be something of value or to display. A selfie can be framed and diplayed, but has little value beyond the person in the photo. Â

Wouldn't you love to see a home run derby between IU's two howitzers: Schwarber and Ted Kluszewski?
What? You're not inviting Mickey Morandini to the party? Â
