@DLopes_Nats11 @JustBB_Media @spencernusbaum_ Body language in between innings, how they warm up, how they interact with teammates/coaches, how it looks behind the plate instead of from CF, etc …

@Baseballjunky25 @JustBB_Media @spencernusbaum_ I always assumed that they get more angles/quality than the tv broadcast
English
The Phillies and Rays each had a scout in attendance to watch Foster Griffin on Saturday, per @spencernusbaum_
English
@DLopes_Nats11 @JustBB_Media @spencernusbaum_ Because there’s always something in person you can pick up that you can’t see on a broadcast
English
@JustBB_Media @spencernusbaum_ Can some explain to me the benefit of having a scout in person versus just watching the game at home? Are they allowed to talk to him?
English
@PresPay79 @MrAzSports This is a terrible return of investment given his contract
English
@85royal @BNightengale I don’t find it to be disingenuous at all. What’s disingenuous is billionaire owners spending less than $100m on a 26 man roster & then complaining about not having a chance to compete.
English
@BNightengale The MLBPA is disingenuous. The don't care about the fans. They don't even care about the lower tiered players. They are all for the top guys making the most money they can.
English
MLBPA interim executive Bruce Meyer insists that all 30 teams have the ability to compete now with this same CBA but many teams choose not to contend, saying MLB's proposals are the "ultimate excuse not to compete.''

Former SoCal high school products taken in the first four rounds of the amateur baseball draft.

@SGVNSports He’s a 23 year vet. He should get to do whatever he wants.
English
Only Top 10 player in NBA history to chase a ring on a minimum contract.
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
Rich Paul says LeBron James is not chasing a championship: “He’s not chasing a ring, but when you’ve worked this hard to position yourself the way you have and you can actually decide what you wanna do, who wouldn’t take advantage of that?” (via @ESPNCleveland)
English
@GoldyHappens He’s had major control issues for 2 years.
English
Once again here to point out the only thing Mike Hazen cares about is seniority. If Yilber Diaz was a 8 year vet like Gallen he would get 2 full seasons to figure it out until MLB rules state they literally have to be free agents (The Pavin Play™️)
Corbin’s Carnal@rafaaa_1998
@GoldyHappens One bad start for Yilber and they DFA him. Unbelievable!!
English
@MiamiMarlins_UK @JeffPassan Look around the league. 90% of position player all-stars were either HS or International players. The best position players don’t need to go to college.
English
@JeffPassan Makes sense. Never understood why high school kids were draft eligible
English
MLB today proposed an overhauled domestic amateur-entry system that removes high school players from the draft, makes college players eligible after sophomore year, shortens the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and cuts bonus pool from current $358.7M to $200M, sources tell ESPN.
English
@jmbutler1980 @Darth__Devil It’s not even that. They’re down less than 1k from last year
English
@Darth__Devil About 2k not that big of a issue. It’s actually an increase from the 25-26k they’ve averaged since 2010.
English
I can see why the dbacks have a attendance issue this year
product on the field is shit. got a 6$ student ticket (which is sick) but then 30$ parking, 40$ for a beer and nachos and then 22$ for a tall boy. I can’t even imagine what a family of 4 or 5 is spending.
English
@GoldyHappens The second that Kepler can be reinstated Pavin is gone.
English
I still can’t believe I fall in love w/ 2 rookies and they get sent to Torey jail the second they have ONE bad 10 game stretch… but these bums are safe!
1B Pavin 0.4 Career WAR
2B Ildemaro .441 OPS L30
3B Arenado .468 OPS L15
LF Gurriel Jr .588 OPS
C ADC .556 OPS
CF Barrosa .486 career OPS
Goldschmidt Happened@GoldyHappens
I give up. Waldschmidt sent down, Fernandez sent down. Pavin Smith job cozy and safe. Jorge Barrosa kept over Waldschmidt. I’m tired, no more dreams just memories now. #GoldschmidtHappens forever #NewProfilePic
English
Jordan.. 2 Hits, 2 RBIs, and a great catch.
He’s going to be good and I have never given up hope on this guy. I believe.
🌵 Mr. Az@MrAzSports
In 18 at bats this year Jordan Lawlar showed improvement. Let’s be patient with a 23 years old. Please
English
@KingCCarroll @Dbacks @BannerHealth Puk & Lourdes are on rehab assignments. They’re not activated yet.
English
@Dbacks @BannerHealth Where is Tyler Locklear?? Where is AJ Puk??? Where is Lourdes???? Where is the change???
English
@GoldyHappens Torey didn’t start this. Bob Nightengale started this
English
Death, taxes, Torey Lovullo walking back his complaints about Ketel Marte because he’s not man enough to stand behind his words. Torey threw Ketel under the bus saying he asks to sit when he doesn’t feel healthy then wants the credit for sticking up for his guys here?? So fake…
José M. Romero@RomeroJoseM
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo had a statement he wanted to make about Ketel Marte and perceptions about him prior to his pregame comments on Tuesday in Miami.
English
@JonnyRoot_ @brianhegseth It’s funny how it’s always “libs this & libs that” when the Deep South was all “libs” until the voting rights & civil rights acts …
English
ESPN NBA Insider Shams Charania claims Secret Service confronted him in an intersection outside Madison Square Garden because he dropped his AirPod, but then said he was gonna look for his AirPod “case” after the segment…
Which is it, Shams?
Did they yell, “This is MAGA country” too? 😂
English
@GoldyHappens Give it 2-3 days & Lawlar will be be back & my guess is ADC gets sent down and/or Barrosa DFA
English
Ohhhh ADC remained on the roster as the 3rd string catcher and 4th string 1B to eat innings in the bullpen, makes sense now
Goldschmidt Happened@GoldyHappens
THEY DIDNT JUST BENCH JOSE FERNANDEZ THEY SENT HIM DOWN 😂😂😂😂😂 This team… no reason for Pavin & ADC to be up when the #DBacks are also adding Groover??
English
@Gambo987 It’s good 90% of the time. & we talk about the bad 10% way more than the good. Make it make sense.
English
And that is why you don’t trade him you take the good with the bad he is too special of a player - Marte with the walk off HR huge win for the Dbacks
English
@FranmilsEyebrow @Decker6 If it means coming out $3.7 billion ahead in the end, absolutely.
English
Ridiculously disingenuous.
It’s well documented that the Padres are in nearly $300M in debt, and are buried by bloated veteran contracts they’ll never be able to shed.
Jesse Rogers@JesseRogersESPN
MLBPA interim exec director Bruce Meyer holds up the Padres as the example for all teams: "We want to encourage more San Diego's. San Diego is a small market team that went out, decided to compete, signed a lot of players. Turned around their franchise...they are successful. They've grown attendance, they've grown interest, and we've all seen the explosion of their franchise value."
English
@AquaJay12 @GoldyHappens I disagree. It’s better for Tawa to go down & actually play in Reno. He already gets marginal reps as it is & Lawlar is around the corner.
English
It’s Tim Tawa who gets sent down for Pavin Smith.
We’re going to potentially get Pavin & ADC in the lineup together lololololololololol
Goldschmidt Happened@GoldyHappens
Pavin Smith will be activated off IL tomorrow, per sources #DBacks
