    Oh oh. The dreaded "they've never faced this pitcher before" specter looms. Later

    I remember when I hoped David Thompson would be the next David Wright. https://www.milb.com/player/david-thompson-621420?stats=career-r-hitting-mlb&year=2021https://www.milb.com/player/david-thompson-621420?stats=career-r-hitting-mlb&year=2021 Looks like he'll be closer to the next Jeff Manto, destined to be a good AAA third baseman with chances for a cup o' java for the rest of his career. sigh Later

    I like the idea of drafting Cowser, too. And I would like it even better if he bats righty. But he doesn't. The MLB.com link likens him to Nimmo, but someone who CAN play center. I'll take that. BTW - warning. Once in the fangraphs site, I couldn't arrow key back out to get back to the cpf. I had to close my browser. Later

    SNY reporting that Jacob DeGrom played catch in the outfield before today's game and "felt fine". Everybody can exhale now. Later

    =kcmets post_id=67552 time=1623431631 user_id=53] Anyone know what the crowd capacity % is up to this weekend? I may try a solo run on Sunday.

    =kcmets post_id=67554 time=1623432554 user_id=53] Not a factor, I was just wondering if there was a set % and what it is.

    Dunkin Donuts Stadium was voted the best AA Ballpark again this year: https://www.courant.com/sports/hc-sp-minor-league-baseball-yard-goats-dunkin-donuts-park-20210610-20210609-wofvtqhobvfudd4qmyt2udzwpa-story.htmlhttps://www.courant.com/sports/hc-sp-minor-league-baseball-yard-goats-dunkin-donuts-park-20210610-20210609-wofvtqhobvfudd4qmyt2udzwpa-story.html Dunkin' Donuts Park has been a huge success since opening, and this vote shows once again how the Yard Goats have connected with the greater Hartford community,” said Ballpark Digest publisher Kevin Reichard. “The Yard Goats story is one of the most successful in all of baseball, and a win this year confirms that status. My daughter is getting tickets for us when Binghamton comes to town and I hope to provide some personal scouting reports. Later

    Trevor Bauer used the stuff to get himself a 3 year, 102 million dollar contract so if that is what is going to happen going forward it might not be working as well as the owners had hoped. Later

    Nice job as always. Two things: First round draft pick Pete Crow-Armstrong's birthday is listed as March 25, 2002 in baseball-reference. Alex Ramirez is another player to watch, He recently joined the club from extended spring training and has gotten off to a slow start. But he was one of the most highly rated International signings last year. Later

    Edgy MD wrote: Lucie just gave up a nine-spot to the lowly Palm Beach Cardinals in the first. Austin Faith — which is the name of a Mets pitcher and not a coalition of capital-area Texas congregations — yielded seven, six of them earned, before exiting without recording an out. Coming into the game, Faith was 2-1 with a 3.26 ERA and I was contemplating a "You gotta' have Faith" George Michael tribute post. But after tonight, I may have lost my faith. Later

    I broke out in hives when Alonso mentioned the words "free agency". Later

    Edgy MD wrote: Eddie Murray had over 3,000 hits and over 500 homeruns. He had three Gold Gloves, three Silver Sluggers, and was elected to the Hall of Fame on his first ballot with over 85% of the vote. I'm not sure how we got to him. In the five years leading up to his election, there were many stories about how reporters perceived his demeanor post-game (being curt with reporters, or refusing to be interviewed) and how it might keep some writers from voting for him. I use him as an example of how character was mentioned as a factor. But as you said, it didn't become the only factor. Later

Well, there's no reason considering it as a factor should mean that one has to consider it a primary factor. It almost kept Eddie Murray out and is possibly the only thing that kept Albert Belle out. The were "guilty" of the same thing - they pissed off the reporters covering their team. Later

    Possible pitching help Thomas Szapucki gave up 5 ER in 3 2/3 IP, and fell to 0-2 with a 3.52 ERA as Syracuse lost 12-5. Later
