The Cubs are doing am infomercial for a company called Sloan during the Cubs game. It's such a bizarre telecast.

I have no idea if Jakob Marsee is for real, but I'm hoping Preller and Shildt give him a chance to prove it. Dude has a great eye, and it's not as if there are a ton of other outfielder prospects kicking down the door.

He's barely played above high-A and has been labeled a fourth outfielder by numerous prospect writers. They should get a real centerfielder and let Marsee develop.

I'm just excited that he's getting a chance to play, and that he's hitting.

Honestly surprised the Braves haven't tried to move d'Arnaud speaking of catchers e: Like I get that you have to have a backup catcher but it seems like the value of what you could get for d"Arnaud is higher than the value you get having him backup Murphy Intruder fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Feb 26, 2024 |

The Braves value having two starting-caliber catchers extremely highly and have since before AA took over The team also considers d’Arnaud a core clubhouse guy I can’t really envision a scenario where it makes sense to trade him. He’s not going to bring in a haul, and it’s not like the Braves have a desperate need for a back-end starter or middle reliever

Redeye Flight posted:It's been a different NL West member both of the last two years, so given that it's also an Even Year, I'm going to say the trend continues and this year it's the Giants. It’s the Rockies turn to face LA in the DS (SF in 21, SD in 22, AZ in 23). This is the funniest outcome for at least two reasons: 1) duh it’s the Rockies ffs 2) it would mean that every NLWest opponent has beaten the Dodgers in the NLDS except the Giants, who lost to the Dodgers after setting a franchise wins record
