come on Victor Robles, do it for the late 2010s prospect rankings

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · 6d

come on George, do it for Elon (University)

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · Jan 22

it’s the house that George Kirby built

with that base running play, Josh Naylor is now officially the Mr. October of this postseason

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · 9d

maybe if the Brewers win the World Series it will help fix some of the problems the Cubs caused by winning it in 2016

Development isn't linear, but it does occasionally have deadlines.

finally trying this beer (I’ve never had one at a game, for obvious reasons)

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · Sep 13

there's something mildly comforting about watching Martín Pérez finish out yet another effective but workmanlike outing

the Orioles have a catcher at triple-A with a lot of pop, but we aren’t sure about his defensive future. hey, wait a minute…

Also from last night, #Brewers Manuel Rodriguez. Projectable RHP, only 20 y/o, but has potential swing and miss breaker and solid change.

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · Sep 8

the early season Carolina Mudcats juggernaut is now taking on the upper midwest, I see

Nathan Graham @nrgraham.bsky.social · Sep 8

Jesus Made is reportedly heading to Double-A. Here he is from last night in South Bend. The power is not there yet, but he's only 18 and has elite bat control in the profile. Future star for the Brewers.

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · Sep 7

happened to catch the final games this season for both Winston-Salem and Kannapolis. as always great hospitality and great places to see a game, would recommend if you are in North Carolina

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · Sep 1

this is also how I feel about Lenyn Sosa's career

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · Aug 25

saying this as someone who liked Colson Montgomery in 2022...I almost literally can't believe how well he's played since being called up

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · Aug 31

facing an opponent who commands three pitches will Yhoikerfy a lot of A-ball hitters

Ben Spanier @bspan2.bsky.social · Aug 27

do you have any advice for someone competing in an office league who hardly pays attention to football and will also be participating in the draft while attending a minor league baseball game? I’ll uhhh stop typing and listen
