Only thing worse than watching Bucknor is listening to Rex Hudler on the Royals' feed.

The player was coming up through the minor leagues with his original organization but did not play for the Braves during the H.W. Bush Administration. His Braves' tenure was in the mid-90s.

Reminds me of a story in the Minneapolis paper recounting all the misbehavior in the man camps during the oil boom in North Dakota. They called a Twin Cities' 5 a Dickenson (ND) 10.

He looked like he was going to be a solid major league pitcher when he came up with the Tigers, but it--and this is an understatement--hasn't come together for him at all. He's not facing the '27 Yankees today, but it does appear he was some parts to his game that could amount to something if...

The way Wentz is pitching, one of those guys will have to go to the bullpen.

Not that it matters as much in the modern game, but I've only seen a couple of Wentz' pitches in the upper zone. He's keeping it low in the zone.

Braves' problem is their corporate patch. Their season has been wearing Quikrete overshoes all year.

I can see why you would think so, but not the guy.

The player who played for the Braves wasn't from Minnesota. The minor leaguer I spoke with regarding the first-rounder was.

I can't believe the Rockies are sellers.

You are incorrect sir.

Without question, he is one of the dumbest players in baseball in terms of baseball acumen. Snitker calls him out a few years back for an absolute blunder on the basepaths and the fan base gets mad at Snitker for not letting "Acuna be Acuna." I'm not a big-time Snitker guy, but he was probably...

First off, I am not a very good baseball player. In fact, I am a lousy baseball player. But I played in an over-35 league during the H.W. Bush administration and to hone what little skill I had, I worked out at a place that was owned by a former minor league pitcher and then-Twins' 3B Gary...

Acuna is starting to remind me of Byron Buxton up here in Minnesota. Buxton is a superb athlete who plays all-out, but he's on the 10-day IL again with a rib cartilage issue after bumping into the OF fence making a catch the other day. There are just some guys who get banged up fairly easily...

Nice night for Waldrep. That's a couple of good ones in a row. Given the revolving door at the back of the rotation (and what they have invested in him), he should be given the opportunity to see what he can do.

Hill does have--or used to have--an exemplary spin rate.

It's like pretty much any business in that as long as you can cash flow your capital and the capital keeps appreciating in value, you're in great shape.

I was following up on Tapate's comment about having a tradeable draft pick included in a deal.

If things keep going the way the have been, the Braves will be in the upper reaches of each round of the 2026 draft and getting a comp pick to add to the bonus pool amount could be very helpful.

The only problem an exclusive C/DH shuffle is that teams with now sit with guys like Sandy Leon on the roster as the 3rd catcher. I would prefer a three-cornered DH rotation where one of the Cs is sitting. Of course, that will require better depth so that a guy like Acuna or Riley could be the...
