Phillips stars, Burke struggles

Yeah Bird reminds me of bad outings by Diekman.

Looks like he's finally figured out how to throw strikes, at least for a short period of time.

Played 3B. Was an All Star in Hawaii, Cape Cod (Freshman and Soph year) and in San Antonio. Dad was drafted as a catcher out of the state of PA by the Cleveland Indians but joined the military as minor leagues was rough back then. Loved baseball. Only sport that I loved practice as much as the game.

Quite impressive all you guys.
Re my past baseball experience

Kid SS.
HS CF/backup 3B
Some beer and church league Softball including fast pitch
Coached all kids and wife BB and SB and developmental special needs

Baseball has been berry berry good to me. Seen the mountaintop and abyss like us all

Whelp. This definitely didn’t take long. The thing I hate about rebuilding is if things are going well, and a player is kicking ass here, that’s going to be the guy other teams want. When or if he’s traded, it will leave a big hole and the team won’t be nearly as fun to watch anymore.

I hope we are really wise about this.

Would not mind keeping him if we could get an extension

with Lynn's deal that would block 2 starting roster spots

I don’t know if “block” is the right word. We’re going to have to fill up this rotation eventually if we want to compete again. I think Lynn would be a very good 4 or 5 for us on a contending type team. Minor could be seen as a 2 or 3.

Not sure about Lynn if we are contending unless he starts to show more.

Might be interesting poll to see the former positions of the posters on this board? Anybody care to declare?

CF and P until I got a coach in HS that only played his son and his sons best friends. Wasn't going to sit the bench and watch guys who sucked play so said F.I. and went to church softball leagues, HS intramural softball, beer drinker softball leagues and fast pitch softball leagues where I still played CF, P and coached.

Not uncommon at all to see this in high schools.

Could be tough to get this game in. Weather is bad. It might also end up being one of those games that only goes 6 innings.

Can’t wait for the new ballpark.

Does the bullpen really need it tho?

The whole team is off tomorrow and I don’t want to see Leclerc bomb a game against the Astros because his arm is ice cold.

Good point. Did not check schedule.
