Dusty?

No, hot and humid mostly.

imref, right now Soto looks like a better option for the ASG than Harper so maybe you were on to something.

Juan Soto may make his MLB debut tonight.

Yes, according to Zuck, if Soto appears in the resumption of the suspended May 15 game, that would actually count as his MLB debut.

what does that do for his service time? If he's up on 5/15, then is he treated as being sent down immediately and recalled on his former 1st game date? Was he down 20 days? If not, doesn't the round trip count as continuous service time for purposes of calculating super two status and free agency?

I have no idea, but it doesn’t matter because he’s never going back down. Will the 20 days be significant in that case.

could be several million dollars if it means he's now a super two and gets 4 years of arbitration.

They'll probably keep him out of the first game, so it'll all be moot.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #284 on:** June 18, 2018, 12:09:46 pm »

looks like his call up was on 5/20, so moving up his first game to 5/15 is unlikely to affect any arbitration status or time to free agency. That said, with Eaton active, Eaton may slip into Stevenson's spot in CF and Murphy into Kendrick's at 2d.

Matt Adams was in left. If he's still hurting, then you may soto. Reynolds also is at 1st, so you could see Adams shift to 1st and Soto in left if the NYY go with a righty like Cole.

Pretty sure they're going to put Murphy at first for a while.

So if Soto homers in the first game, all those headlines about hitting his first few homers against his future team will have to be re-written? So a teenager is already re-writing baseball history, amazing.

After talking it over with @EliasSports...even if he plays in the suspended game tonight, Juan Soto's Major League debut will still be May 20, 2018, with an * denoting that he subsequently played in a suspended game that started before his official debut.

Juan Soto's first MLB game with a homer was before his MLB debut.

Take that, Chuck Norris.

imref · « **Reply #290 on:** June 18, 2018, 06:23:18 pm »

he was batting .500 with a 2.500 OPS before his debut.

nfotiu · « **Reply #291 on:** June 18, 2018, 06:29:23 pm »

Was he younger in his debut or when he hit his first homer?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #292 on:** June 18, 2018, 06:36:03 pm »

Juan Soto's genes are drawn from his grandad, who showed Michael Jackson how how to wear a glove on one hand for no apparent reason.

Bryce Harper has a one eighth scale model doll that he mistreats.

Has anyone seen a Soto Jersey in the wild? Or in the store?

IIRC they had them when we were there a week or so ago.

Is that the longest HR ever in the park?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #298 on:** June 19, 2018, 09:41:17 am »

gonna guess that Harper's HR v Strickland in 2014 went further.

If my memory isn't failing me there are 3-4 seats just to the right and higher ( section 236) up where Harper and LaRoche landed a few. The seats are painted white. I don't believe the trajectory of the balls were coming down as there is an over hang. My guess is that they were hit further and would have traveled a greater distance if not impeded by the structure.
