If they follow the same path with the electronic strike zone as they did with pitch clock last year, they’ll do it now across whole AAA season. If results are good, it will hit MLB following year.

Additional ballpark renovations notes: ) I’m impressed that they can do that much work for that budget. Sure doesn’t look like the executive office suite is getting much more than new paint! Note that the team is responsible for budget overruns. (Of course, we haven’t seen the details of the...

Got an email today from the team describing the changes being made to the ballpark. Not mentioned in their message, but I noticed in the accompanying architect’s drawing that it looks like the fugly upper deck shipping containers are going to be removed! WAHOO! Here’s the message: “The...

If that happens I so, so hope both bands are there. Just imagine the band battle: will “Rocky Top” be played more times than “Hell [sic] to the Victors?”

I think somebody will do just that and get rewarded for it. Bauer is smart enough to know he has to shut up and put up for the ‘23 season. But, I think (a) Tito had enough of Bauer and might retire if they signed him, and (b) the guys who brought you the bland “Guardians” new name last year...

One thing is pretty certain, he didn’t mean to say “sober LSU fan!”

Duh! That update is coming on January 18. And now we’re going to miss it.:pissed:

Isn’t it more likely that the combined front office put in charge would end up playing the worst 9 guys….resulting in a bigger disaster?

or they didn’t notice the low and slow snap?

Michael Brantley signed 1 yr/$12M deal with Houston Astros.

Miller’s best position is 3B, so when Jose signed his extension Miller was tried elsewhere. He spent much of ‘22 at 1B and was not very impressive: horrible footwork and gator armed trying to catch imperfect throws. His range on ground balls was better than Josh Naylor’s, but that’s not...

Not too soon for Mississippi State either. DC Zach Arnett to be named Head Coach, according to The Athletic. Arnett was named Interim Head Coach on Sunday when Mike Leach was hospitalized. Edit: E$PiN now reporting the move too...

Brantley made about $16M while mostly not playing for Houston last year. MLB Trade Rumors projected him to sign for 1 yr/$15M for ‘23; FanGraphs 1 yr/$10M. Big spread! But can you see Cleveland even spending $5M for a 4th OF/DH? Maybe they can send a SS to the Twins? Here’s the current 40...

How many times do we see guys get their mechanics messed up after an injury? Not unusual to then see somebody injure another joint in the process. Whole body is involved in the pop and throw to a base.

Headline in The Athletic sums it up: “Guardians Place Bet On Catcher Mike Zunino.” Hope they have really researched his Thoracic Outlet surgery. Usually a pitcher’s injury; the only C I could find who had this surgery was Jarrod Saltalamacchia. While Salty did eventually recover and had a...

Can’t really consider a backup until they have a starter. While the market price for a starting C seems to have really zoomed in the past month, some of the comments from the Cleveland front office have been very curious. Here’s what I mean : ) I have not read a single mention of Bryan...

Here’s the career stats for Mike Zunino: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/z/zuninmi01.shtml Here’s what happened to him last season: https://www.mlb.com/news/kevin-kiermaier-mike-zunino-out-for-2022-season-with-injuries?partnerID=web_article-share He’s currently a free agent….and...

Woody ain’t coming back either.
