Omaha GM Justin Niles and I try to throw strikes past each other once again, this time talking a lot about trading, farm systems, and a couple records here and there. And, then there's the Pitch Out that came from no where.

As always, there will be a poll.

GET IT HERE!

Enjoyed it fellas.

Real curious as to who is scouting my farm and asked about Franco!! Haha

In all honesty, I called Franco up to AAA in hopes that he matures his ratings enough to be on the roster to start 2043. But if he doesn’t bump up to his potential, he’ll be in AAA again to start the season. His call-up was strictly ratings based.

And all of my pitchers are on a 99 pitch limit. They go over when they finish a batter I suppose.

I wonder which philosophy tends to see more success for a player like Franco (young and developing): simply playing in advanced competition or dominating against lesser competition (but not necessary a low level.)

That's the beauty of this game!

I'm pretty fascinated by this question too. I really like the Three Strikes theme and love the pitchout idea. Thanks for doing this, guys.
