Thanks for all the mariners coverage and positive reviews on the organization hopefully they keep these kids and give them a shot on the club since everyone they bring in fail

[@damiansamuels367]

Let’s goooo I was about to say damn where the boys at? Needed this episode 🔥after I saw my boy Ryan Bliss got promoted

[@tjtribble.]

In regards to Tyler Locklear being promoted slowly, the Arkansas (AA affiliate) ballpark is very pitcher-friendly so they’ll often leave guys in AA to develop and only promote them to AAA when they want them close to Seattle. That doesn’t guarantee he’ll be in the majors soon but it is a good sign.

[@joshuakaplow]

Thanks for shouting out Jhonkensy!! He’s one of our favorites!

[@bricehileman8122]

Nothing on Felnin Celesten? He has has higher AVG, SLG, OPS than Caba with a pretty solid fielding %. Lost a lot of development time from last year due to injury so this is really his first year which makes what he is doing even more impressive I think. Love your guys KZbin channel.

[@TheCallUpPod]

No doubt, I shoehorned Caba in there just because we haven't discussed him at all and have touched on Celesten a bit!

[@julianspring3844]

Nothing on Luis Perales and Zach Penrod were promoted in tandem to Double A and Triple A respectively. Also Yoeilin Cespedes tearing the cover off of the ball with great defense at SS in FCL

[@chrystianforeman7647]

Wait til mid late July Guardians high A Lake County is gonna be must watch baseball. Kayfus, lipscomb, Mooney, Genoa, Chourio, and Velasquez all in the everyday lineup

Park Factor: While I knew this, the reminding me of it was so appreciated. Sometimes we don't pay enough attention to it. I'll add thin air to that as well.

[@charliec5449]

Young Power Arms: Walks will always scare me away, because their K rates won't translate as well at the highest level when they are allowing too many runners. They end up getting killed eventually. That's been true for as long as I've been playing fantasy baseball and it still holds true today. Not to mention the injury risk, but that doesn't faze me.

[@Ronnie-jk6ur]

Chandler Simpson sounds like an exciting stash for my fantasy team.

[@EthanT-fj4er]

Nothing on Noah Schultz or Jacob Gonzales moving to double A in the white Sox system. Gonzales has been on a tear recently

[@TheCallUpPod]

We only have so much time!

[@djmclallen771]

Can we get some royals prospects love? Mozzicato, Kudrna, Jensen, mason Barnett, or Champlain. Not big names but under the radar players who are having breakout seasons.
