Yeah, a lot of us are with you on that.

Jesus Phillys is the flat white thing in the ground!

6 consecutive walks to begin the 2nd inning for the Reds. Most of them 4-pitch walks.

I’m counting on at least that many. The problem is getting parts. Lexus makes nothing for it anymore, and no dealerships keep old original parts for these things around. Not the Toyota way. So far I’ve been making do with occasional aftermarket stuff and used Denso parts out of Dubai. Fingers crossed.

6 doubles have been hit so far in this game that is in the middle of the 2nd inning. Reds have 3 of them, and a home run, and still losing. Must be reverting to the Jax mean.

Now if we could just get MLB pitchers to throw AAA level breaking stuff, he might have a chance.

Watch my fantasy team!

I think it will be more than just the schools own development system, it will be a continuation (because it's already happening) and evolution of the smaller feeder schools acting/becoming a minor league system for the bigger schools.

Just using logic, I don't see how some version of a minor league system doesn't emerge from this current set up. No clue on exact timing or exact structure but directionally it almost has to happen.

Agreed, something will have to give with OTs especially hitting higher and higher 7 figure deals for an unproven 17 or 18yo.

From what I've seen and heard from parents, coaches and even some players; schools are already starting to fall in line to a minor league system. I've posted a few times on various threads that journalists are already reporting that unless you're a highly ranked HS recruit, many of the elite P4 teams won't even look your way. Why would they risk getting a 3star player, who could transfer in a year and waste any development effort you put forth. When you can land an upperclassmen transfer who's already been in college for several years and is further along in his development and could offer college level play from day 1

DeLauter went 4-4 last night in a win over the A's, which doesn't even have a name beyond the Athletics. Weird.

He's got such easy and smooth power, can't remember the last bat that looked like that for us.

Bazzana has had some good contact but has a good eye, gets on base, and is 1,000x better than Brito defensively.

Hopefully Ingles is up soon....Bo has looked beyond helpless. The ABS challenges are showing him in an even poorer light.
