Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Yeah, I know there are options for Pirates fans. Just as a non-fan interested in one game, MLB’s archaic blackout rules strike again. Anything Cleveland and Cincinnati, I totally get but Pittsburgh is just odd. Might as well add Detroit to the market, Comerica is only 4 miles further than PNC. 000 0
Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 30/03/2025Wanted to watch Max Meyer pitch against the Pirates. But because I live in Columbus, Ohio I can’t watch it on MLB TV because Columbus is somehow in freaking Pittsburgh’s home market. I forget this stupidity every season. 110 1

Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Wrapped up my stay in Vegas with a look at Basic HS ‘25 SS Tate Southisene. Southisene is no. 21 on @kileymcd.bsky.social’s draft board. Had a two-double game. Flashed his 60 speed and good range up the middle with quick hands and carry on throws. USC-recruit, bit weird that I saw a B1G recruit 100 1

Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Say that as I watch Mitch Voit who’s had some solid play this weekend, both in the field and at the plate. Will be interesting to see where he ends up on final draft boards. Chance at first B1G bat after Devin Taylor? 100 1
Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Seems there been a shift over the last decade in prospecting college second basemen. When I first started covering baseball the prospects of a true 2B were dim. Meant you couldn’t field at a high enough level, bc if so you’d be a SS, and you likely didn’t have the bat to move to the OF. Now not so. 100 1
Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Michigan is in Arlington next week with TCU, Kansas State and Arkansas. A good opportunity to follow up on this weekend with a competitive field, chance to really stake out a strong start to ‘25. 000 0

Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 30/01/2025A few things jumped out: All four jrs drafts were at the same school throughout. It’s nice when your elite talent stays.

Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Not surprisingly, but still a bit of a bummer, with the Big Ten moving to a 30-game conference slate from 24, the number of weekend series vs. Power Conference opponents has noticeably dropped.
