Yep, Griffey's getting real cheers, Manfred's getting booed every time he walks onstage. Awesome.

Skenes to Pittsburgh.

LSU kids go 1 and 2.

EDIT: Cool note--Crews first collegiate HR was off Skenes, who was then at Air Force.

Twins go with Walker Jenkins. So Langford kinda slipped but top 5 was basically chalk.

Why? Pace of play and his other changes have made the game more enjoyable
Not paying or providing benefits good enough for minor leaguers
No punishment for Astros
Guy on second in extras
Many more

and yes, Theo was pace of play

I’ll add one-

Failure to address blackouts and the fact that with so many TV deals it’s become harder to watch your team play (without multiple subscriptions).

Why is Manfred getting booed?
The most galling part of Manfred’s press conference, though, was his sarcastic response to A’s fans’ “reverse boycott” this week that saw nearly 28,000 fans (seven times Oakland’s average Tuesday night crowd this season) pack the Coliseum to voice their displeasure with owner John Fisher and the proposed move to Las Vegas.

“It was great,” Manfred said. “It’s great to see what is this year almost an average Major League Baseball crowd in the facility for one night. That’s a great thing .”

Mitchell is an interesting prospect. Catches and pitches (so has a grade A arm)
