Not super-relevant, but Arjun Nimmala’s last name is pronounced NIM-ma-la; accent on the first syllable, note the double “m”. (Choose Telugu in Google Translate to hear how his name sounds.) I don’t know him personally or anything, but his parents are from the same twin cities area in India as mine. Even among other Indians, our people have a reputation for being nerdy and unathletic, so it’s pretty cool and kinda surreal that a kid who could, like, be my cousin might be a major league ballplayer before too long. We’ve yet to have a major leaguer of Indian descent, though I suspect Kumar Rocker will get there first. I once hoped I’d get there, but it turns out an 80-grade fastball and an 80mph fastball aren’t the same thing. 😜

I'd just like Eno to pronounce "Berrios" properly before we worry about that.

Have seen Christian Scott compared to young Zach Wheeler, similar delivery too

Everything is better with beer!

Taylor Ward has elite swing path grades by SwingGraphs and is rated as the number 1 hitter by their overall grade. So he might have a higher ceiling than what he's showed.

Oh you're doing that Noro, DVR. Kids lick everything

Arraez was 8th in NL MVP voting last year and then all of a sudden he’s not valuable?

Julio Rodriguez Sucks! He is overrated!
