    Noah Song (RHP) and his Harmonious Life

    MILB players usually report (officially) in waves in early March. Certainly possible that he was there early, but in my experience things don't get going with the minor leaguers until about a week after the MLB games start. If he's there already it's more likely that he's doing...

    2024 Jet Blue Spring Training Recommendations

    Starting this year, parking is included with your game ticket. Just plan on not rushing out after the game. A lot of folks hang out near Gate D to watch the guys on the visiting team who actually finished the game get on the bus. On non-game days after the games have started, parking is...

    2024 Jet Blue Spring Training Recommendations

    It's a bit harder to predict who's where once the games get started, and it kind of depends on whether any player interactions are good or whether you have your heart set on one particular player. The good news is that many of the minor leaguers won;t have reported officially yet so the major...

    2024 Portland Sea Dogs (AA)

    Not sure they've announced the 2024 cost for milb.tv yet, but it's glorious.

    No Town Hall this year at Red Sox Winter Weekend

    I'm not sure how many folks posting here have been to Winter Weekend. I went every year at Foxwoods but stopped last year when they moved to MGM because part of the appeal for me was staying on site at Foxwoods and basically not even taking my coat out of the car in January. I enjoyed the Town...

    Another challenging factor is that without Lowell between the FCL and Salem, there have definitely been changes in the quality of play in A and A+ that are likely reflected in more aggressive promotions based less on overall numbers and more on team staff assessments/particular stats. Anthony...

    Cellucci has some of that too: I find it fascinating--all about muscle memory and control, not about watching what you're doing.

    It's actually not that unusual in my experience.

    Arizona Fall League 2023

    I don't actually handle it, I can just flag it for the right person--but a PM would be great. I usually take pains to point out that my focus with SP is photos; I don't rank players or assess their curveballs or swings or defensive capabilities, in part because in some parks I'm in the dugout...

    Thanks for noting this! And sorry I wasn't keeping up on this thread as much as the MiLB one. Fixed now.

    I really wish I got to see a little more of him in Greenville in September--just caught him in one game. I do think it's taking a while for us to assess the overall changes in the way players are promoted after losing short-season A as a developmental stage. Chris and Ian emphasize this a lot in...

    I too look forward to seeing Hayden Mullins in an actual uniform.

    Portland's SoundCloud is your friend--players saying their own names. (I always got "Cellucci" wrong as I assumed it was pronounced the same as the former Mass governor. Also I hear all kinds of variants of Rosier, even from folks calling games he's in, so it's nice to have a definitive...

    This is true--he is definitely the sort of person you would like backing you up as you walk into a difficult situation. Under ordinary circumstances the restricted list is essentially for everything that isn't an injury, so it seems more likely that he had to leave the team for a different...

    Cracks me up when media outlets go back to college images for players who have been in the system for multiple years.

    A little more activity in the next inning for Troye, but still good--flyout/infield hit/K swinging/walk/groundout.

    Strikeout/groundout/line out for Troye in the 4th.

    Catch was fine. He's about the size of an ant on my laptop screen. Grateful that they are livestreaming but high def it is not.

    Ha! All I can say is I've got nothing on either Bonaci or Guzman. Saw Guzman in spring training but that was it. Was looking forward to seeing Bonaci in the AFL since he wasn't playing with Greenville either time I saw them this year.
