The Arizona Fall Stars game had a pretty great walk off single and bat flip tonight.

Holy poo poo that sound. Is anything better?

Also epic flip. Dang. I mean it was just a single (maybe double) but it was still epic flippage.

N: Brewers just hired the Cubs assistant hitting coach and promoted him to full hitting coach:

V: I wish the best for Haines and hope he does his best to help the Brewers hit like the 2018 Cubs.

That's an odd choice. The Brewers are mashing under Darnell Coles. Did he get a better job elsewhere?

Both the Brewers hitting and pitching coaches left for lateral moves to other organizations. Hitting coach went to Arizona, pitching to the Reds. No idea why. :shrug:

there should be one at-large or utility GG in each league and Enrique Hernandez should narrowly beat out Javy for it every year.

I feel reasonably confident the Phillies are gonna give Harper a blank check and he'll sign in Philly

RF - Harper
CF - Herrera/Quinn
LF - Nick Williams
1B - Hoskins
2B - Cesar Hernandez
SS - Crawford
3B - Santana (ugh)
C - Alfaro
UTIL - Kingery

Bunch of MIF dudes that can't hit. My wet dream is the Phillies sign a bunch of the injured dudes like Donaldson, Pollock, Ramos, etc to short term deals and platoon them. But that seems unlikely. Though in the new collusion economy, maybe more likely? Even wetter dream, sign Harper + Machado and somehow convince Machado he's a much better 3B than SS.


Nola
Arrieta
Velasquez-Pivetta-Eflin amorphous blob

Top 2 is locked in, but maybe bring back Morton or Bucholz and hope they stay healthy this time out. Or sign like a JA Happ or something


Bullpen

Sign literaly everybody


Phillies only spending 70 million in non-arb contracts and 55 of that is solely Santana and Arrierta. They have a lot of room to add a lot of players

I assume he's looking for a GM job, and I'm also assuming he'll get one

Huh, he's never won a GG, I thought he did in one of the Royals WS years. I'd imagine under the old style voting where they just throw all the outfielders into the same bucket he'd have won 4 or 5 straight.

He won the Fielding Bible award for multi-positional defense for the second year straight at least. He's just not gonna win a GG until he has a full season where he mostly plays one position, because BBWAA writers.

LOL Nick Markakis is a statue. That's just loving awful. I don't really get too hung up on gold gloves but that's Jeter-level bad.

On the flip side, I'm impressed they gave an award to Nick Ahmed since the DBacks usually fly under the radar and he can't hit and you have to really impress the hell out of the voters to win a gold glove if you can't hit.
