Canning is playing with fire.  Other than that 5-pitch inning, he's been in trouble all night.  3 hits, 5 BB, 0 K so far.

Wow, 5-pitch inning for Canning!  Let's see more of that, please.

Bo Porter was being very helpful to Tucker just now, pointing at 2nd base, seemingly telling Cole that's where you go.  Makes sense, given how infrequently he's on first base.

The Cole Tucker era begins with a walk!

Think we're gonna see a lot of Davis Daniel tonight at this rate.

Happy birthday Wash. Canning gave you a great present.

Does Canning have any options left?

 

Yes.

Canning loads the bases with no outs.  Good start.

Sounds like a lot of Phillies fans are there tonight.  Lots of cheering for Schwarber's single.

I hope the fact that the Angels drew 141k for the Twins series doesn't motivate Arte to tighten the belt further

They drew about 114K, not 141K.

Nah. I like my comp better. Still in the sports realm, and the tabloid/social media impact of Hudgens outpaces Upton, anyway--so Swift/Kelce works.

Well... we'd rather watch a winner than listen to one.

Exactly. I'm already getting tired of his shtick.

I mean in his defense and ours, we had Joe Maddon as the manger and no one truly knew but he was going to do.

 

Some odd phrasing in a few places here.  First, he can fuck right off for even hinting that any Angels fans are "front runners."  We've got a decade of losing and we're still here for some dumb reason.

Also, I think it's kind of funny that he just outright says, "I know we may not have the best personnel in the world."  Lol.

It's early and he's only in A+, but I'm liking the high BB and low K-rate he's shown. 16% bb and close to a 12 % K rate. AA might be the true test for him.

Flint, nothing too fancy and none of his skills stick out, but he's one of those guys that plays like an "good-player/ above-average player" that potentially finds himself up in the Major. 

plus the system is pretty dreadful on the offense side 

I'm still not sure why you said he's "climbing in the system."  Redfield is in low-A, not high-A.  He's also not particularly young for the league (in fact, he's one of the four or five oldest position players on IE's roster).

Also Flint and Redfield are two guys that are climbing in the system and might be worth keeping an eye on. 

On what are you basing this statement, particularly as it relates to Redfield?

They need to stick his ass at DH and never let him see the field again

I'm sorry, sir, but Cole Tucker is the DH and he can't be replaced.
