Thanks! Yeah itโ€™s a daily thing for my work most of the time!

Today is first day I noticed. Canโ€™t say when last time I used it was but certainly within last month. Definitely since season ended

No itโ€™s been on minor league pages for years. I used it almost every day in doing my work.

I'm mostly using minor league pages and spot checked three of them. Just looking around a bit more, the MLB player pages appear to be working for me but not the MiLB.

Hey Adam, I'm noticing today that when I look at Player Game Logs, when I use Command-Click to select a specific set of games, I'm not getting the split summary box popping up. That's by far my favorite function. It's not going away is it?

It also sounds like Gonzalez may have grown some in the past year, which will be an important part of Hernandez's path as well. If his game is going to be based around power, you'd like to see a couple more inches on the height

Absolutely. (I also think that a lot of fans really do underrate the importance of the RHH vs LHH/SHH distinction. Not having to deal with same side RH sliders is a huge advantage for a young player

I think Gonzalez has a chance to be great both ways tbh (obv not the same as "will be"). Was texting with scout the other day who told me looks at Instrux had him leaning Gonzalez could be a Top 10 prospect in next couple years.

Interestingly, I had a question from a reader in a mailbag this summer asking whether Giants ever did things like the "water bag" development used to help Skenes and Misiorowski's command. Lo and behold we got the OG water bag guy himself!
