Still very wild, 4 walks, wild pitch, throwing error. But it seems the stuff is there.

 

As I type this, Scott Frazier is coming in with his 81.00 ERA.

I didn't think his ERA could stay that high.

 

Oops! He's now shot it up to 164! Awesome.

LMAO -- Ozzie the Cougar! That suit looks like it's about 30 years old.

 

Definitely has to be the same one from when I was a kid and going to games there, probably 1992 or so.

Gleyber Torres went 2/2 with a triple and a single. Pierce Johnson struck out 8 in 5 - gotta think he's ready to go to Tennessee.

 

Working fast, throwing strikes, and mixing a 92-94 MPH fastball with a hard breaking-ball and a change-up, Johnson allowed one unearned run on four hits (two singles and two doubles) in his 5.0 IP (66 pitches), with no walks and eight strikeouts, 4/1 GO/FO, and a 78% strike percentage (70% is considered outstanding). I would think this will probably be Johnson's last EXST outing, and so I would not be surprised to see him get a start for AA Tennessee next Friday.

RHP Josh Conway (2013 elbow stress fracture) threw another 25-pitch "live" BP session prior to the game, facing Jorge Soler (hamstring rehab), Elliot Soto (serving a 50-game Drug of Abuse suspension), Eloy Jimenez, and Erick Castillo. Conway sailed through his "inning," but Soler grabbed his right upper hamstring after only two AB in his first round and left the cage. He did eventually return for one five-pitch round, however, facing 19-year old Venezuelan RHP Adbert Alzolay (the other pitcher who threw a "live" BP session prior to the game).

Ummmmmmm...[expletive]

No Baez tonight either.

[Guest]

if almora keeps refusing to strikeout through daytona and then tennessee, he's got a decent chance of being with the cubs at some point next season, right?

[rawaction]

Almora with a double. Slugging goes from .406 to .559 in 2 PAs

[MWV]

Apologies if I missed something, but is Baez hurt?

Yeah, because at this rate he'll be starting next year at AAA.

Back issues.

He's probably on the Baez schedule.

I think his back is bothering him. Nothing acute, but probably prudent to give him a few games, especially since it's not particularly warm yet.

[rawaction]

@RobbieAaron: Man can @albertalmora hit - and hit lefties. With a HR and 2B tonight he's 8-for-10 vs LHP

[TruffleShuffle]

bryant home run.

Bryant with a dinger

Apparently it was crushed, dead center.
