    Well, THAT was fast. I thought they had a plan. I do hope they still do. It kind of feels like political pressure. Time to chart another major league player.

    Congrats big guy. Let's make the world forget about the big dummy Judge.

    I only saw him hit one homer when he was in college but it was a monster shot in Lindsey Nelson ball park, April 8, 2023.

    A gret reaction when he qas told! Just like he was a kid again dreaming about playing in the MLB! Great for him and KC may become my second favorite team.

    Awesome. It is a bummer that he has to miss the visit to the zoo though.

    KC is playing the Cards at 7:45 tonight. Will he get a chance to play RF or be DH?

    Tune in, boys and girls!

    It is a great zoo!! One of the best in the country consistently.

    I do think he was there last season with the team at CWS. He can go back in the off season lol

    With a blast to deep right center in his first major league at bat, Cags...flies out to the warning track. But great contact and solid AB

    And then a 112 mph groundout to 3B. Good effort trying to hit it around the "shift". Almost snuck it past him.

    So 0-5 but hard contact on most and no strike outs, just a matter of time…

    Yeah Jac went 0-5 tonight. Jonathan India, former Gator, bats leadoff for KC and went 3-5 tonight

    “We were really excited when he got to us,” Royals general manager J.J. Picollo recalled. “What we didn’t know is, how long does it take? You never know how long it’s going to take, and if it took one year or two years, as long as he becomes a good major league player, we’d be fine with it.

    “So, there was no real need, coming into this year, to see him up in ’25, but he went out and did what you want players to do.”

    Caglianone’s new big league teammates, however, aren’t looking for him to be a hero.

    “Where I would caution him is like he’s not a savior to this offense, nor should he think he think he is, nor should anybody think he is because that’s super unfair,” Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino said. “He needs to come into this lineup and be his best self because his best self is what helps us the most, not him trying to do too much or to try to save the offense.”

    Hark, I think I see Cags now. He looks GOOD in a suit and hat!



    Boys and girls, ask your parents - or grandparents - what is the meaning of that "phone" thingy on the street. It is "quaint"...
