I agree that extremely high SB totals sounds like a better flavor of baseball to me. I'd also kinda like it if catchers were selected more for their ability to control the running game. Is it 2 pickoff attempts per pitch, or per at bat? Per AB. You can attempt a third but you have to get an out, else it's a balk I think.

Very scary situation tonight as Durham pitcher Tyler Zombro took a line drive off the head. The game was suspended and he was taken to Duke hospital, where he is apparently in stable condition per the team's release:

That was the worst thing I’ve seen on a baseball field, I’m glad he’s stable and I’m really glad they suspended the game. So hard to watch the convulsions

Should have drafted this guy. Kind of interesting given the discussion in the draft thread. Soderstrom fell in large part because the HS catcher demo might be the only one feared more than the first-round HS RHP demo. On the Future Projection podcast they discussed Soderstrom and Kevin Parada earlier this year and how both would be valued might higher if that draft happened again today. I'm sure Soderstrom has only increased his stock since.

Davis has a pretty popular umpire gear company. They make really good stuff IIRC.

I don't think I've seen this posted anywhere but it was announced a few weeks ago that the Triple A seasons were extended to October 3rd and the first half/second half structure of the lower leagues was eliminated, at least for this season. Playoffs will occur in the AA, High A, and Low A leagues while AAA will just crown a champion premier-league style. I'm guessing they decided it was better to give all teams get an additional 5 games of revenue. www.milb.com/news/playoffs-return-to-minor-league-baseball

Lol, is he no-selling on purpose there? Just not an energetic guy? Did he not actually know like Kimbrel recently? I have questions.

My impression, he thinks he's too cool for the rest of us.
The pen is running in, he knew.

I was looking up how many players younger than Blaze Jordan there are in any low-A league at the moment (not many) and the Marlins have Eury Perez, an international sign with a $200k bonus in low-A right now who just turned 18 (April 2003 birthdate) and he's absolutely shoving. He signed at 6'5 155 in 2019 and he's now 6'9 190. Does not look like a fun at bat: www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=perez-003eur
