Lazorko Saves

Beat Cindy!

Yep, we'll hold on to that forlorn hope of keeping him long-term, right up to the moment in December 2027 when he signs a 9-figure deal with the Dodgers.

I've seen a lot of Bazzana out here, but only Wetherholt a bit on TV. There are a lot of similarities. I think Wetherholt might be a bit better pure hitter. Bazzana's swing is a bit long and has a shoulder tilt that makes him naturally uppercut. But he covers the plate well and hits to all fields well. Bazzana is showing surprising power this year, but I think in the pro game he's more like a 10-15 HR kind of guy. One separator might be Bazzana's compete level. He's intense. He's like Lenny Dykstra minus the tobacco and the off-field nonsense.

Yep, that's a reasonable opinion. Chase Burns could be another, especially given the weakness at the top of the HS crop. But I'm splitting hairs here with a distinction between "no chance" and "very small chance". I think there's at least a small chance one of Wetherholt or Caglianone gets to us at 8 overall. Condon, Bazzana, and Smith I think there's essentially zero chance, absent a medical issue. They're all having monster seasons and are erasing the specific concerns teams might have had about them previously (Condon's contact, Bazzana's power, and Smith's command).

We're picking 8th. We're not getting Charlie Condon, Hagen Smith, or Travis Bazzana.

C'mon Wash, let's get O'Hoppe to beat Randy Hundley's record....

It's time to start thinking about tanking for the first overall pick in the 2042.

I have obtained the actual surveillance video of the moment Perry lost Ohtani. Here it is.

Arte does keep an homage to Ben Franklin at home, but it's not the kind you mentioned.

Agree. I've been thinking the last several games that I wouldn't mind if the streak ended. For a rookie, it would become a distraction at some point.

For those of you wondering what Wayne's $200 shirt looked like without the tie and coat....

Zuniga with the Goose Gossage save!

If you hadn't seen the game and I showed you these two "highlights", would you have thought we won?

There's enough room in this baby for both Vladdy and Ersty.
