Bowden Francis is 3 outs away from a no-no albeit with 1 K. I don’t get how he is inducing such terrible contact lately. 28 years old. Pretty amazing story

You talked about it!!! Game tying homer in the 9th is a rough way to lose a no-hitter.

- Lindor homers to tie the game - Francis taken out of the game
- Iglesias singles, advances to 2nd on throwing error - Vientos walks - Nimmo walks; bases loaded, no outs - Blue Jays win expectancy down >50%

A couple sac flies and a home run later and the win expectancy is below 1%.

He started the 9th with over 100 pitches and they lose the game.

Pertaining to Bender.
It’s very easy to write off the organizational guy, it’s never the sexiest scouting report read “great organizational player” we dream on the Mayers and Anthony’s of the prospect kingdom.
Meyer has to throw to someone, turn a double play with someone. Teel has to catch someone, these guys grow up together and spend hours every single day forming friendships. Someone that nice told me “you’re the sum of everyone you surround yourself with”.
It’s easy to dream on the draft and be disappointed when most of those players never reach the majors. It’s hard for us to see the paramount importance that of having “good dudes” in the clubhouse. Those great organizational players have tremendous value that can’t really be quantified at all. But it’s there.
Maybe Bender is a perfectly nice lguy. But you dont want that type of attitude and lack of motivation anywhere near your organization.

BA rated him a “40/High”. While the odds were against him being an impact player, they likely saw some upside in him.

I’m sorry, I can see why my post reads as me calling Bender an organizational player. That wasn’t my intent, but rather to highlight the importance of character up and down the organization.

I have learned that Bender was a gender studies major and it amuses me to imagine that what really happened was he and his minor league ballplayer teammates screamed about politics all summer and he was outnumbered and he eventually snapped

A) I’d be ripshit if I was the pitcher
B) this is literally a South Park episode (kids trying to throw little league games because they want to stop playing ball)

The douchebaggery seems to have been a running theme with this guy, just unnecessary.

300k ain't gonna last you that long, and I think at one point I'd seen there might be installments to signing bonus so I suppose they could seek to withhold? It thought that came up with someone else once.

I wonder if that announcement counts as one of ten free articles.

I'll give them credit, 10 over 30 days seems quite reasonable. Wish more places would have a system like that instead of all or nothing.
