Phillies trying to overtake Mets for biggest losing streak this year.
Braves Select JR Ritchie
Braves To Select JR Ritchie
One of the sport's top pitching prospects will make his debut tomorrow. Read more about the JR Ritchie news at MLB Trade Rumors.www.mlbtraderumors.com
Put me down officially as preferring JR to diddy as a SP. I still think diddy ends up in the BP.
Couple of infield hits made it look worse than it was. Dubon and Ozzie both failed to make tough plays that put him in a bind.
He was not as bad as the line looks.
Uh oh. Get some milk cause Cookie’s inbound

AA basically thinking if Ritchie gets knocked around tomorrow then Carrasco is gonna be sacrificial lamb to save the bullpen

AA back up to his phantom IL shenanigans. This is what led to our horrible luck with injuries.

I only thought you were partially insane back in the day for some of your hate boners for some of the umpires. But then you became a lawyer and you proved me wrong, you proved your Superior intelligence and you proved you were always the best of us

Not even close for me. While I get that my man crush for the Diddler(Not that Diddly guy) is unsurpassed, I believe that he's a starter for the foreseeable ever. Perhaps it's just my hope but I see him as an SP period.

I don’t get Scheff’s hard on for Didier only being a pen arm. He obviously has a much higher ceiling
Both times he’s used this response he’s been replying to a post with just an image or pasted tweet. I think he’s saying he wants the poster to type out their thoughts and not take the lazy way out. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Mrs Meta, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated in the meme.

Agreed. He was great after the first inning. He's only 20 years old too. He needs work obviously, but the foundation is easily there to be a very good SP. He needs to work on location and sequencing. You can't hang one up and over the middle of the plate on 3-2. I get you don't want to give up a walk either, but early in the game, you take the walk over the alternative.
Homer alert:
My take: He’s an SP for sure - especially if the slider ends up being as lethal as some have said it can be.
I think he’s more likely TOR than setup man/closer or even a #3 or 4. I suppose it is quite possible we won’t really know for probably another two or three years though. Hope I’m wrong and he’s in the October rotation - not because others fail or get hurt, but because he’s got the lowest ERA in baseball.
It's as good of a start as anyone could have imagined. Needed after the bullshit that was 2025.
