How was Showalter promoted?

How was Showalter promoted?

begrudgingly?

I believe he's Zeke Wood's replacement. Wood is on 80 game suspension for failed Banned Drug/PED test

Mason Molina since being acquired at the trade deadline by the Cards

12 K's, 11 BB's....

that's pretty bad.

He wasn't this bad before the trade...not by a long shot. I hope he rights the ship...starting tonight

Rainiel's Grand Slam from last night

https://x.com/MLBPipeline/status/1960487356211065100

[craviduce]

Raining in Peoria. Might move out in time to fix field for the 6:30pm start time?....1h20m away.

Rain moving into Springfield soon. Long line from through Joplin through Branson....rain is imminent. Not sure how heavy the rain will be...could be light? Game time in 1h20m. Maybe they play in light rain? Wet dogs smell great, Bark in the Park night.

Memphis/OKC is fine, rain moved out a while ago.

Palm Beach/Jupiter always a threat of pop up showers/storms in Florida, but looks good and ready to start in 15m.

Springfield faces LHP Gage Jump. He's Top Prospect out of LSU. The Athletics drafted him between the 2nd and 3rd round in the CompBal-B round in 2024

IV with 4 Ball fours in the 1st. Pulled.

After seeing all those high grade catching prospects come through, the Heath Fella leaves alittle to be desired.
