Knocking Down The Door: June 9, 2021
“Knocking Down The Door” is a weekly column highlighting minor leaguers who are making a case for a major league promotion. Listed below are the names of this week’s picks and the player’s team, age, level(s), prospect ranking, and last 10-14 days of statistics.

Is there any way to have a transcribed version of this, I’m interested, I just cant listen to the content.
I don’t think so, at least not with Twitch. There might be a service on YouTube. I could eventually start posting these on there, as well.
A big reason to do it this way is that it’s way less time-consuming and it ensures it gets done each week. I haven’t been able to write this column consistently in years because it just takes me too long to put my thoughts into words while keeping up with the non-stop MLB news cycle. There’s some rambling to get to my points during the RR Show because it’s not scripted, but that’s why it’s much easier.
I do think I’ll be able to add a few written notes each week, though. Not gonna commit to that yet, but I think it’s possible on most weeks.
