Sebastian Walcott is gonna play the field before this season is over. Better question: Will it be in Frisco, Round Rock or Arlington?https://t.co/H7OzuX3aSf

And now Evan is reporting Walcott will play in the field this year.

He does mention in the article that keeping him off the 40 during a potential lockout could be a factor in calling him up this year.

Am I an old man for wishing they would ban position players pitching? (obviously some kind of Ohtani exception needed) This lobbing it up there nonsense is embarrassing.

In a game that has effectively been decided, it's smart to do to not waste bullpen arms.

And lobbing it up there is probably a better way to induce an out than trying to throw real pitches far less effectively than a typical MLB pitcher lol.

I agree with all of that. It's just horrendous from an optics standpoint.

Heading to a game real soon and was wondering if the red circles are the good parking spots???

Honestly.... mercy rule or let the losing team forfeit.

Brewers went for 2 at the end to run it up on the Mariners.

I just saw how Milwaukee got their final three runs. Bases loaded, 1 out, bottom of the 8th, position player pitching for SEA. Brewer hits a fly ball to J Rodriguez in CF and Rodriguez throws to ball in the stands to score three runs (the field goal if you will) to cover the 21.5 over.

Gut punch.

Don't know about the rightmost circle….

The Ag that leased the space on the left no longer has the lease. expired end of June/first week of July.

We parked on the street opposite all during World Cup half dozen times with no problems. Just make sure there are not any new " no street parking signs"

From Scott Lucas:

Two of the hardest-hit balls in AAA yesterday belonged to Logan O'Hoppe: 111.1 MPH for a lineout and 110.2 for a single. He also hit a 106.2 MPH double. His uniformly poor Statcast data in MLB has been unformly wonderful in AAA: 50% hard-hit rate, low whiff rate, greedy on in-zone first pitches but patient overall and not chasing much. He's only caught three of his last ten games, and that's not entirely the presence of rehabbing Danny Jansen.

Cam Cauley has two home runs today against the El Paso Chihuahuas.

He is 4-for-5 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs.

Catcher Logan O'Hoppe also has a HR today. He is 2-for-3 with a HR, 4 RBI and a walk.

O'Hoppe crushing it again today. Surely it can't be much longer. Forcing him to destroy AAA for another week just seems mean lol.

He was REALLY bad defensively as well. I'm sure they are working on that part of his game too. At some point it won't matter.

Maybe this isn't some kind of revelation for the rest of this board, but I was casually looking over the various AL team records and noticed that not one of the AL West teams have a positive run differential against the rest of the league. The good news for the West is the astros with a mere -32 run differential lol. I'm not sure that I've ever seen that before

Hoping we do not jinx it being here tonight. This is my 12th game in the last 3 years. The team is 7-4 in my previous visits but only 1-3 in the last 4. 0-2 this season.
