i know pete crow-armstrong isn't ready for the bigs or anything, but how much longer they gonna let him embarrass A-ball pitchers in myrtle beach?

they have a self-created logjam in the low minors, so it's kinda inevitable that some guys will linger until there's room at higher levels.

guys like y.pinango and j.nwogu aren't spectacular, but they don't belong in lower A ball level...and they need playing time.

wisdom 4 games in a row with a HR.

c.morel has started 7 games.  3 in CF, 2 at 3rd, 1 at 2nd, 1 at SS

may 24th...

our leadoff hitter has a .315 ob% and the #2 hitter is sporting a solid .262 ob%

121 games to go.

season ends with 6 in a row vs CIN.  i dunno if anything in the dumpster will be left to keep a flame going.  sad thing is by that point it may actually be better quality baseball.

pre-game lineup shakeup...yan gomes scratched (left oblique tightness) and lineup rearranged.

morel leading off, ortega moves to hitting 2nd, and schwindel 5th

small sample size blah blah etc...

watching morel is like flashing back to 2016-era cubs and their joy + aggression on the field.  he would have fit in well with that cubs era.

nice.

i was looking forward to the hoerner/madrigal "hoes mad" middle IF.

this reds team is so hopelessly terrible they have mahle out there in the 5th with 100+ pitches, 6 runs given up, and no outs yet.

...and he's done with 103 pitches, leaving with 0 outs and men on 1st/2nd

Sigh. 

Fixed: "nice first half of an inning"

That is all.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
