They cut out the part where Kruk and McCarthy were talking about Ben having a normal sized head — “proportional” was their choice of word.
That caliber lie might be a bridge too far even for the Flyers NBCSP crew.
Good to see Ben Davis fresh from his stay on Easter Island.

lol. MLB network guy has the graphics team put up a 'no-hitter' alert for Yamamoto before the game starts... So of course the VERY FIRST PITCH he throws is hit-out for a homer.

@trostol useless fantasy update for the week...I lost last week by 3 points because I picked up a pitcher on Sunday who proceeded to get me -9 points....should be 4-1, but I am 3-2. I had Yelich and Bellinger come off the IL this week, so I'm back to 7 players on the IL. This week, I am currently winning my matchup 140-10; I had 4 pitchers go last night and they all went at least 7+ innings. Also, I now have the highest point total in the entire league....all of this with a third of my team on the IL

They showed his daughter putting that on during the broadcast. Hard not to love the guy even though he's a company line tower

He had a whole row to himself but Atkinson was sitting behind him later in the game and during the broadcast they showed Hartnell doing his daughter’s hair so not exactly.

His girls were there and so was Atkinson, who as @Hollywood Cannon mentioned, we can absolutely blame for this
Me and @Hollywood Cannon are talking at the same time

Reading!?! That would be the Jackson Holliday path. Maybe Lakewood after the allstar break.

I mean the Holliday path is to just send him to the majors tomorrow lol. High A works too, I'm not picky. Hardly anything left to prove in low A with a couple more weeks of hitting like this

I’m a believer in letting guys dominate at a level for a fair amount of time before promoting. Especially for hitters in their first pro season. Let them enjoy pro success for a bit. The struggles are ahead.
Pitchers are different. I would push them as much as they can handle.

I stand corrected. I do agree though, I like letting the good times roll for hitters too, but I thought he was a college player where AA is typically the initial developmental spot for those bats since they're less raw. But he's a high schooler, so high A is definitely the right next step. Thought he was a college kid
