The way Brown announced it made me laugh out loud. Obviously, I hope the man is alright but you did not expect that to be the cause.

This broadcast tonight has been miles better than last night's. Though Brown saying the Mummy (movie) was great, basically ruined a plus score from me.

Raise it!

Watching the 1-3 batters is pretty fun.
6-12 combined tonight

Hot take time:

Their current core of position players is the best the Bucs have had since McCutchen/Marte/Martin/Alvarez, although the depth and pitching are not close to comparable.

Heck, you might even take Frazier/Reynolds/Hayes/Moran/Stallings over the former group in a vacuum.

MMM was a huge part of the last success, but you're forgetting Walker and 4-5 win seasons from JHAY ('14) and Kang ('15)

That was wild!

Completely different ball club the last 3 days.

Keep Stallings.

It's amazing the difference a young superstar can make...

 

[ChaosAgent]

If you're trading Stallings, you need to get a lot more than the "Bell package" for him. Late Bloomer offensively, brilliant defensively and his longtime backup status has kept the tread-on-tires (knees) to a relative minimum.

Also needless to say that our prediction that the Pirates will end the year with the #1 farm system is looking correct. Wins all over.

Omar Cruz K'ing everybody again. Martin hitting again. Castro obliterating the ball.

Bae (who IMO would have started in Greensboro had our 2 highest-graded position players have needed to go there first) starting to really hit in Altoona.

I don't really know who this Shackleford guy is but he is clearly too good/powerful for Greensboro. He may not have a future but we should consider fast-tracking him anyway.

 

[Gallatin]

Bucs prospect Arron Shackelford is getting on now in years to be playing A-Ball, but he does seem to have a real nice power tool, and could move up quick. This season should be no surprise if you read up on him after being selected in the 14th RD of the 2019 draft.

I have a feeling we see this guy in the Majors at some point.
