We coming

How long has it taken him to play 32 games?

We supporting the boys today brother

I doubt Baldwin gets a call up, but the bat seems ready. Still rocking a .900 OPS through 200 PA’s and a 36/32 BB/K. Really high EV’s consistently

Is he any sort of athlete? Or just strictly C/1B/DH type

I think he’s a pretty athletic catcher but not athletic enough for an OF spot

Nico didn’t play in the scrimmage because of the stomach bug. Maybe I’m over thinking, but feel like he needs all the scrimmage reps he can get.

Also, I’ll say it again, who cares if we play the Angels??? Our division is basically going to be decided in the last 2 weeks of August because we don’t play a full series again Philly in September. Forget the Starting pitchers nonsense and go back to the old schedules

A hill I will die on.
If they are going to keep these schedules divisions don't make sense. Just seed teams 1-32

When expansion to 32 happens, it will be nice if MLB can make an adjustment where you play your divisional rivals the final ten games of the season or something of that note.

That's what Chattanooga is for

I wouldn’t worry about that dude ha

 

[AV_12]

I wouldn’t worry about that dude ha

I would look at it as they’re very comfortable with where he is

Are they downplaying how good he looks? I’ve kind of assumed so, but it’s hard to get more than a couple words out of the coaches about him.

Very

The fact they didn't bring in a transfer and were fine with Gaston Moore and a true freshman 4* to be his backups show they have full belief and confidence in him.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Heup loves Nico

He is legit, legit.

Not ideal. But I can't really give you a better idea.

Actually most ideal!

Who is the option without soler? We literally had Kelenic there for weeks

 

[GAVol]

Actually most ideal!

Probably so if he'll just occasionally take a walk and be athletic in front of Riley and Ozuna. It's a low bar right now.

I know. I know. I'll bet we're OBP-ing about .310 from the leadoff spot this year.

The bigger issue is Arcia had two good games from the #5 spot and now Snit is putting him ahead of better hitters like Murphy and Laureano.

It's nuts. No way he should hit above 7th or 8th. It's a wonder Olson ever sees a pitch in the strike zone.

This Detroit booth is godawful.
