Kolby Allard , lhp, Braves | 28, Up 9 spots

Allard has put himself on the fast track. The lefthander was part of a trio of Braves pitching prospects—along with Max Fried and Mike Soroka—who were chosen to skip over high Class A Florida and go straight to Double-A Jacksonville. Allard is the youngest player in the Southern League and ranked second on the circuit with a 1.38 ERA. He has used his fastball-curveball-changeup combination to strike out 31 hitters against just nine walks.

6 Yankees prospects on the list and that's with Judge graduating and Kaprielian dropping out of the list. Impressive.

Day baseball!

The Mets are cursed.

Lost Swanson, added Gohara. No problem. Mid-season update will be interesting. If no one else graduates or falls backwards off the list, we should get at least 9 players on there with our top draft pick, maybe one or two more depending on Fried/Weigel/Toussaint/Pache/Wentz.

Keuchel is due for an ass beating by The Yanquis.

 

[Line_HTX]

Carlos Correa visited Marvel HQ.

Yankees are Thanos. They must be taken down.

I'd like to see them try and get through Keuchel, oh sorry. They won't.

 

[Chris R]

If the yankees could sweep... I'd be so happy


yuck can't believe I want that to happen, but it's the lesser of two evils at this point

 

[bonesmccoy]

Liriano now on the DL.

I think Bautista's next.

His parents named him after Mookie Blaylock.

The other Mookie is not acknowledged in Boston after 86

 

[Chris R]

Today, #Dodgers reinstated Hyun-Jin Ryu from the 10-day DL and placed Kenta Maeda on the 10-day DL with left hamstring tightness.

[Chuck]

Nats sure as shit ain't beating Bundy tonight.

 

[Beckx]

Rangers went to watch Ohtani work out. He's still hurt so it was just him running and playing catch.

 

[BigAT]

Need to get an Altuve/Judge picture at some point during this series.

 

[Beckx]

Nats sure as shit ain't beating Bundy tonight.

[Earthbound64]

No I mean, Blaylock.

Didn't know that.
Sure, make me feel old.

The other Mookie is not acknowledged in Boston after 86

Before 2004, sure.
Since then, doesn't bother me much.

 

[Chris R]

Fuck Keuchel

[jello44]

Yankees going to be the first team to have players with decimal points for jersey numbers.

 

[Earthbound64]

Yankees going to be the first team to have players with decimal points for jersey numbers.

They'll probably just do away with numbers like they did away with names on their home jerseys.
"Who needs a number or a name? You should know who it is."

 

[Sanjuro]

Yankees going to be the first team to have players with decimal points for jersey numbers.

Celtics tho.

 

[BumRush]

Maeda says he had a video conference with former teammate/Carp pitcher Kris Johnson to get tips on his cut fastball. (Johnson won the Sawamura award in 2015, Maeda's last year with the Carp.)



so this year felt like they were going to be mid-80s in wins with some big questions in pitching. What actually happened:

• Jung Ho Kang had a 3rd DUI in Korea and currently cannot get a Visa to re-enter the US
• Starling Marte (the only legitimately decent defensive outfielder we have) got bopped for PEDs
• McCutcheon and Harrison are mere shells of the players they were in 2015
• the team defense overall has become jaw-droppingly, mind-bogglingly, how is this a major league team level of bad (in particular, Cutch and Polanco have regressed significantly)
• I'll re-emphasize it: we probably have the worst defense in MLB.
• on the pitching side, there have been several positives: Cole is better, Taillon was emerging as a legitimate ace, Nova has been impressive, and Rivero/Watson have been solid. Glasnow has gotten lit up but you can see the stuff that will make him a 1-2 starter in the future.
• Taillon was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the week and is out indefinitely.

so basically: the unexpected loss of several key players + horrible, horrible defense has offset better than expected pitching. it's going to be a long season in the burgh.

Funny you didn't mention defense in your post, because I think that's what has done the pirates in this far

 

[JoseDFrog]

Fuck Keuchel

He's like Yankee kryptonite. Let's just take the L today and wait for tomorrow's.

 

[Line_HTX]

Who said something about lighting Keuchel up? Oh right. Nice chasing into the dirt.

 

[captmcblack]

Why couldn't this be last year's Keuchel who could actually be hit, not the 2015 invincible model?

 

[Chris R]

Tuffy Gosewisch makes Mike Zunino look like motherfucking Babe Ruth.

Who do we have to kill to get a catcher that can hit a ball one time in five?

 

[jello44]

Why couldn't this be last year's Keuchel who could actually be hit, not the 2015 invincible model?

Because he's healthy again.

 

[jello44]
